Most likely April

[eFestivals]

My guess is that it'll be either Sunday 10th April or Sunday 17th April.

Has anyone got evidence, as in a URL, to the rumours floating around that 750,000 people applied for tickets in October, i dont believe this for a second. Everyone i know who attempted to buy a ticket in October was successful.

If this is true, come the resale you are looking at 600,000 people attempting to purchase a rough estimate of 20,000 tickets, not great odds?

Hopefully, since it's Beyonce and Coldplay rather than The Rolling Stones or Prince, tickets should be easier to purchase in the re-sale? Please?!

Last year i got a ticket in RE RE sale in may so im still holding faith!

The moral of the story is dont get too drunk before the day the tickets go on sale

I know that there were around that number of active registrations. Whether all those people tried to buy tickets is another thing.

But not everyone who wanted tickets got them, as the posts on these forums from people still wanting tickets gets to show.

i also got my ticket on re re sale last year so there is always hope! however i know a bunch of people who didnt get a ticket in october and there seems to be loads on here that say the same. Get as many friends as you can on board to help i say

Got my 2009 Ticket about 4 weeks before the festival started, that was awesome, a month of rushing around getting supplies and booking travel, which involved getting the megabus to Bristol only to find out the shuttle bus weren't running, getting a cab half way and ending up walking roughly ten miles to the festival!!! Great memories!

There was definitely a lot of people going for them this year. Most people I know failed. Never had anyone fail before really.

How can you oversleep on ticket day?!? Madness.

I'm sorry but maybe you don't deserve tickets!

[Memory Man]

surely there wont be 20k tickets available in april? i'd have thought much less than that.

You need a big group of mates all helping you out. we had loads of ppl trying and when one gets through thats basically your entire group sorted if you're in good contact with one another.

its luck and playing the system. the system is the same for everyone.

I believe it's the case that there's been less than 10,000 tickets available in the April sales since they've done the main sale in October.

I'd expect similar this year, unless it's confirmed that U2 aren't playing - if they're not playing then I expect they'll be quite a number of tickets cancelled.

I've been lucky in two resales and keeping my fingers crossed for success a third time come April.  I just hope that, if U2 play, plenty of U2 fans don't just turn up for them and then bugger off afterwards as, to my mind, that's a sacrilegious waste of a Glastobury ticket.

Not really - but I think it's a little odd that the one act from the rumours which seemed to be the most certain is the one that's not yet been confirmed.

[Liam_G]

Ah i just read on Coldplay.com that re-sales will be in April! Will definatley have to make sure im up early the morning of them!

Could be because the news of Coldplay and Beyonce have been all over the press the last week or so, but although it's common knowledge that U2 are friday Headliners there hasn't been that musch publicity around it?
It is U2, has to be, doesn't it?
