Hi All

A friend who works for see says that there are less than 2500 tickets in the resale
I don't know how true this is , but he has been right before

[markeee]

less than 2500? woah thats WAY less than I'd expected

[dan8k]

i dont belive that in anyway, i gave 4 back in the group of 7, and there were loads being given back from friends on the post on here. plus gfl extending the sale by 2 days shouts to me that they are struggling to sell the tickets people have put deposits on. If i remember correctly in 2007, when  it was damn hard to get tickets, 11000 went on in the resale through various reasons, and there wasnt a deposit system in place then .

yea i thought the same, I mean there's been a lot of people on here who have let tickets/slide or who have friends that did , plus as you say - 48hr extended deadline screams to me..loads didn't pay the balance

I guess we'll just wait and see,

I'm not filled with hope, gonna be trying for about 3 or 4 tickets and really hope I can get them...

[ramragon]

nightmare if thats the case, we're just after 1 ticket after a mate of mine thought he'd registered for 3 years last year, seemingly the muppet only registered for 1 year and we couldnt get him a ticket in the original sale. fingers crossed but dubious

Think you may mean 'fewer' than 2,500 but anyway

[irons]

I honestly thought it would be more than that.
It'll be a mad scramble anyway. U2 and Muse fans will break legs to see them.

Hmm... i'm not convinced!  They are selling both coach packages and ticket only in the resale, with a timetable of 15 coaches scheduled!  Surely if there was only 2500 going back in the pot they would have made it either package only or ticket only and not both?!?

Methinks I shall go straight for the coach package which just might improve our chances

It will. If you go for the coach package, theres a fair chance of you getting them. Best option anyway.

The 2 days grace GFL allowed was because See's system was a bit screwed up, which probably saved them a lot of hassle, but it had little to do with struggling to sell tickets. For everybody that had people send some back there's 10 groups who all paid up. Truth is, we don't know how many tickets there are, but things that Neil has posted such as GFL asking for unused crew/hospitality tickets back at this time of the year when  it normally happens in May suggests that one way or another it'll be a scramble!

It's the same server that handles all the ticket sales. If you get the order page up then order whatever's available.

I shall live in hope!  This time in a fortnight I shall either be celebrating with festival strength cider or drowning my sorrows with it!

That's true. Coach packages seem to be the last to go thou. Luck of the draw I suppose.

yea wth u2/muse it's deff gonna be a scramble-we only need 1 more ticket, woulda been 2 but that mental girl cant come lol

hopefully everyone on this board will get one

remember to try just before the time they are due to go on sale - many of us got our tickets before 9am in the original sale

some of us already have tickets... sorry quite a shallow one there.... on another point i hope whoever wants one gets one,

i also think that it will unfortunately gonna be a 4 way battle between U2 fans / Muse fans / Stevie fans and generally glasto fans

edited to include stevie wonder fans (there you go LondonTom)
