Hey guys!

I was lucky enough to get myself and my wife tickets in the first sale last October. Was over the moon!

Sadly, this year we had a huge, unexpected £600 bill. That meant waving goodbye to our holiday this year. We had to put our tickets back in the pot. I've entered every competition since to win tickets. I'm getting so desperate I'm really tempted to buy from ones selling on here. Truth is we really do not have the money. Once there we can do it on the skint (we don't even need alcohol to have a great time), but no funds for buying tickets.

I know this is cheeky. In fact I know this is even rude to ask, but... If anyone here has a male and female ticket they can no longer use and have been unable to sell to anyone, please keep us in mind!

We're both 30 (but look good for our age). I have short(ish) dark brown hair. My wife has long redish blonde hair.

I hope I don't get slammed for asking, but this is my last glimmer of hope!

Thanks.

hmmm...I will swap a male ticket for your missus.  I'm sure we'll both have a great week!

Naturally I will send you a pic of me so you can see if you match the ticket, please send me a pic of your missus so I can see if I am willing to go through with my end of the deal.




just kidding, good luck with your hunt

That is a bit cheeky. Sell something. That's what I have to do to afford to go.

Bear in mind that someone got roasted on here for asking if they could buy a ticket with 15 days to go, so I don't imagine that you'll get many offers, but you never know unless you try I suppose.

Well you don't ask you don't get. Good luck mate you never know. I had a spare ticket when I went to burning man last year, I gave it to a guy looking to buy tickets outside. The shocked and happy look on his face was enough for me..fingers crossed for ya!

I had an Oxfam stewards ticket but found out my new job starts on the 27th of June so I declined the offer to allow someone else to take my position. I was employed at the time, so had money. I am not now  

Anyway, my reply was in relation to the OP, who is unlikely to find volunteer/paid work at the festival at such late notice.

WOW. The things I read on these forums amaze me.

One of my mates checked into The Priory just before Glasto a few years back, so I had his unused ticket in my pocket all weekend. We left at 6 on the Sunday and I gave the ticket to a desperate punter hanging round outside. When he came out of rehab, my mate got a postcard thanking him for the ticket - the guy got in and got to see The Who! This despite the fact that the ticket showed a skinny 50 year old dark haired drunk and the guy was shaven headed, 20s and gym fit

Moral: if you can hang around outside long enough, you might be lucky :?

might be a bit late- but offer to work for one of rhte many stall/bars /charities- free ticket and only have to work a few hours- got to be worth a try-

alternatively i will also swap a ticket for the misses- but ill throw in a beer aswell   

[Jackmypie]

You said "cheeky" so you're automatically COOL

[jimmystobo]

i'd rather choke myself to death with my ticket then give it to some wide-o on the internet.

[slunder]

Does anyone have a spare ticket... I'm looking for a ticket for my mate. We are honest skins just wanting to go
