It's a fairer system.

When I started going you would buy tickets from the local record shop, so I've seen it evolve over the years into a unfair system until this year.

This forum was a good example. A spreadsheet of say 50 groups all trying for eachother that pushed a 'normal' ticket tryer down the pack due to shear volume focusing on specific reg numbers and tech tricks. A lot of the posts I've seen over the past few years always highlighted to me we deserve to go because we want it more and put the ticket day effort in. EVERYONE should have a equal chance to get a ticket not just the gatekeeping select. The festival needs to constantly evolve it's customers to live and develop, so if it's full of first timers then so be it... and I'm speaking as someone who has been 20+ times and failed yesterday.

Great post. My thoughts exactly.

Yeah I'm kind of with this to. And if unlucky tomorrow, I'll just try and work it.

my prediction is that despite all this talk of a "fairer" system:  The majority of people who always seem to go will still get tickets and most people who never get tickets will still not get tickets.

not 100% but in a similar proportion to what happened each year under the old system.

If I get tickets tomorrow it's a fair system. If not, it's a f**king outrage!

At least I got a coach ticket for the first time after years of unsuccessful attempts. I am flying solo and tried the booking completely on my own with my outdated iPad.

 

Good luck to you on Sunday (seriously).
