probability of resale tickets ?

[guitarbhoy1888]

this might sound like a ridiculously wide open question but how does everyone rate the chances of getting tickets in the resale ?

any tips on increasing that probability ?

[sedra]

If you are not fussed about getting general or coach packages then probably chances are just as good as last time- be quick off the mark and cross you fingers( and toes) F5 etc

[guitarbhoy1888]

Yeah if we decide we decide we want to go we kinda want coach package

It just seems like it would be easier

Unless anyone has any better options coming from Glasgow ?

I missed out on the original sale so will be hitting f5 on resale day!

In a previous thread on this i read around 10% are returned on average so that makes 17000ish tickets available.

I'd hope that less than 10% of the people that tried in the first sale will be trying in the resale so my chances are slightly improved....I hope!

If you just want to be there and don't mind how then your best chance is to opt for a Thursday coach ticket. I missed out on the first sale last year but manage a ticket in the resale, got lucky this year and manage to get tickets for coach again but first time around. Just get loaded early and they put you in a queening system about 3 mins befor hand, just refresh refresh refresh! Good luck.

I'm going to try for coach tickets on the thursday resale but it will be my first time doing a coach so I don't know how they work, which cities can you get a coach from?

Would I have more chance getting a coach somewhere other than London?

last year some peeps who tried to buy coach packadges had to travel from cities other than the one they wanted to.

There was one guy who had to travel from Bristol to Southampton to get a coach from there

[5co77ie]

well a lot of my friends have decided not to buy tickets and pulled out, re-sale could be quite a few.

Hard to judge how likely you are to get one. Sadly a lot of it comes down to luck. I've got resale tickets twice in the past. Once on official resale date and then after the resale when further tickets are returned in May. Only tip is keep trying on the phone and computer. I remember using 2 mobiles and a landline and computer at the same time to get tickets once and it worked. Seem to be quite a few people not paying their balances, so good luck.

Any idea of it is 4 or 6 at a time in the resale?

Doesn't matter how polluted the rest of the country gets because of the festival, it's Pilton that needs to look good!

[Mr Splodge]

I think it's debit card only and no credit card in resale, so you need to make sure you have funds available in your bank account.

Pretty hard as the resale is the end of the month.

[oldbird]

4, and all tickets will need paying in full so ensure you have the funds in one bank account.

There are also some smaller unannounced coach resales, I got a couple last year only because someone had one of those sites to monitor the order page for changes and kindly shared it with a fb group.

One day all I saw was Glasgow and Edinburgh, the next day I managed to get a couple from London, the latter certainly were gone within about 15 minutes. We live north of Bristol so had to get a train down on the day and get to the O2, but it actually wasn't bad, certainly easier than the other two would have been.

[StoneCircle]

Where does it say 4? I've looked and all I can see is 6

[Mr Splodge]

Defiantly only allowed 4 tickets in the resale.

[Spacey]

Out of 9 people 3 have pulled out

We've had 2 drop outs in our original group of 21. We failed to get 4 in the October sale so hoping we get lucky

[Loutag]

I hate it when people ask this question as we don't know how many are available and how many will apply so how can we know the probability??!!
