hypothetical question of course, but boredom at work is overwhelming me.

Assuming somehow you could sell your ticket and get round the photo issue etc, how much cold hard cash would it take for you to give up glasto this year?

Me, probably £2500, and I'd go on safari with the proceeds.

no amount what so ever ... i have a need to meet people at the cider bus that is all consuming  

[Langdale Wolf]

This year, I really wouldn't sell for any sensible amount as it'll no doubt be my last for a very long time.

If I went every year, I'd haggle.

eleventy-hundred rupees.

5k, spend half on me mortgage for 3 months, take some time off and go and see a bit of the world.

And even then I'd have a heavy heart. I've only been twice and one of the regrets that will live with me is not getting round to going sooner. If I had my list of festies I've attended would be much different.

anything above 2000 so i could go away have some fun and pretend Glasto didn't happen this year!

you'd have to prize my ticket out of my cold dead hand before i gave it up.

ive got too many people to meet, too many bands to see, and too many old haunts to say goodbye too

its priceless!!

Are you treating this as your last too then?  Ah man, it's going to be such a horrible feeling when Stevie walks off stage (hopefully in the right direction, bless him).  Trying not to think about the end though.

£5k

covers 3 months mortgage payment, and 3 months spent going back to Brazil to see all bits I missed last time!

[vespa]

i'd sell mine only if Led Zeppelin reformed and i sell it to afford that gig! lol

Face Value

Hate being ripped off and wouldn't do it to someone who genuinely wanted to  if I couldn't

[jbutcher]

You are not ripping anyone off if they are happy to pay for it.

But that is the point, you will only get for it an amount someone is happy to pay, which is nowhere near a lot of the sums mentioned on here (including my own ha ha!). Nice to dream for a minute or two though!

yep

ive had enough and the missis had had enough last year. i'll be back at some point but i wont be a regular and not for a decade at least.

[deardo]

There are so many places i have yet to see in this world, but going to see any of said places is not worth trading in my Glasto ticket. So no i could never sell it. Every year i have been has been different to the last but equally as good.

But if you got £2500 you could book a place here:

A "kocoon" is £795 and a VIP ticket is £427.95 inc VAT.

That would leave you with £1277 spending money.  If you get the offer I would take it.

I probably couldnt turn down £2000. But id hate selling it. In fact im very thankful that they've got the photo ID system so that it just cant happen.
