Just some info from Seetickets for those who are still looking for a ticket (*clips younger brother round ear*!) - chap I spoke to just now said that they have a confirmed date of Sunday May 9th, 9am, for the final resale. This will be all tickets that have been cancelled since October so he thought there would be quite a few, he guessed "several thousand" although he didn't have actual numbers. This will be the final sale of tickets.

Good luck all...

handy info - thanks

I've had my ticket since October but know several people who have had issues with tickets. This will make them very happy I think.

I just spoke to SeeTickets regarding this and they said "There will be no more cancellation sales for 2010"

She also said "I don't know what they will be doing with the cancelled tickets after 7th May, but they are definitely not being sold through them"

It seems when you speak to different people you get different answers !

I hope the OP has the right answer, I need a ticket for a mate.


Can someone else ring-up on this number:  0844 412 4635 and post what they say ?

Oh yes, it would be no fun if See had any idea what was going on!! I notice the automatic voice message before you get through to someone is out of date, still talks about 9th April resale. Incidentally - tip when you're ringing up, press 1 for sales, then rather than listen to the whole message just press 1 again and it goes straight through to someone...

Anyway, I will keep ringing up periodically as you never know if a ticket or two trickles through. I'd absolutely love to see this process behind the scenes, I have visions of a nursery school and kids taking time out from finger painting to man the phones, haha!! Sorry See, I'm sure there are some good people there but most of them seem more in the dark than the boarders here!!

I just rang again and spoke to someone else....

"We don't yet have an official date for re-selling the cancelled tickets."

Do you think there will be a re-sale of cancelled tickets ?

"We have had a lot of returns so I would imagine so,  The last date for cancellations is 7th May so May 9th does sound like a likely date for a re-sale although nothing has yet been confirmed"

?!?!

I've rung 2-3 times a day for the past week and a half. Different story every time, so it's all about getting a consensus view.. And generally it's been that there would be a resale, and that it would be after the cancellation deadline, but they didn't know when. The latest call the chap sounded very authoritative though, he said it had just been confirmed as 9th May. Now fair enough, this is just one viewpoint, but like your muppet said, it does make sense...

[Sam Crawley]

Incidentally someone I spoke to yesterday said that if any tickets trickle out, it would be on to the website. He said that See don't necessarily get notified if a few tickets are available, so he suggested watching the website rather than ringing See. Then again, he might merely have been trying to get me off their backs?! Who knows?

[Sarah-Lou]

OMG...I SOOOOOO hope the OP story is true!!!


I'll ring in a min and see what I get told and then I'll post the reply!  

[Sarah-Lou]

AAARGHHHHHHH I hate the reply I just got....

The bloke who answered was very polite and said he had not heard of another re-sale coming up and said that he would have thought that any returned tickets would now be offered to local residents UNLESS it really was a significant number of tickets....If there was to be a re-sale it would be announced on TOS.

Might phone back  

[Sarah-Lou]

BETTER REPLY THIS TIME!!!!  

A lovely lady answered and said 'YES' they are expecting there to be a re-sale after May7th so phone up on the 8th or check the website for a date.
I asked if it maybe on the 9th and she said that they had not been told a date yet!!

Please let her and the OP reply be TRUE!!!

[steve269]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in my experience there are a number of really late resales every year. Tickets go on sale randomly in batches which last for about a half hour (until they sell out) until almost right up to the festival. Last year I got my Mrs' brother a ticket in the middle of June, just by being on the see website at the right time, the same was true for a mate in 2008.

So if you don't have a ticket don't give up hope, I'm sure any persistant punter who wants one will get one! I mean, this isn't Reading and Leeds

Yes I got mine on their website at the end of May last year - I tried totally randomly one Monday morning and got straight through so I would say it's partially down to luck...

[thingsthatgoflirintheschla]

I just called See and this was what the woman on the other end had to say.

When is the May resale?
No date. only presuming there will be a resale.
How many tickets do you think there may be?
Don't know
Any car tickets left?
Yes
Will any trickle though before then?
No
If there are only a small amount of returns, will See cancel the resale and offer tickets to Locals?
Not sure.

If anyone else plans on calling See about this then feel free to use my questions as a template so that its easier to compare answers.

Just spoke to See and the person said they will not be trickling tickets out this year, any refunds etc will all be saved up for a resale post 7th May.

[blackcockerel]

Any further news on if this is happening? A friend of mine needs one.

Cheers

[Sam Crawley]

Well the 9th draws closer and no news about whether this final resale of resales will happen. Maybe they're waiting till the cancellation deadline to review how many have come back then to make a decision. Last couple of Seeticket folks I've spoken to haven't had any idea.

We're cancelling two in our group but looking for one extra. Oh for the ability to transfer!
