Apologies for the negativity - but is anyone else starting to think this isn't gonna happen? I'm still refreshing every few minutes and eagerly awaiting Siblin's alerts etc but I'm starting to lose faith in the resale.

Nope, just you. Think you're in the wrong thread. I refer you to my post on page 684.

Hi All, Now I know this won't make up for the fact you're still trying for glasto tickets but I have 2 weekend tickets for the Sound City festival in Liverpool this weekend (won them but can't go

I have just realised someone gave me 2 downvotes too in this thread yesterday, just for asking politely for a link? Made me a bit sad tbh as I'm new here and now my rep is horrible

This thread is titled 'Secret Resales'. That was the whole point. However it now seems to have been high-jacked by people advocating getting in illegally. Hardly the spirit of Glastonbury. We all know

There is an email from the festival stating explicitly that it's not happening. They've never done that before.

While I agree it probably will happen, there absolutely is something to suggest it won't.

No one really has any right to be angry with them if it doesn't.

The denial is usually a lot more vague though. I hope everyone gets tickets, but management of expectations is no bad thing.

If they say 'there won't be a resale' then I think  that's legit.  For me, a resale is an organised, advanced and scheduled thing.  If they say 'there won't be a secret resale, we know we've had them before but this year we're not, such and such is happening instead', they maybe...  So we're all good, keep vigilant!

edit - haha, must have missed that screenshot below.  Bless them for keeping the secret this year :P

They have said exactly that though.

I am still hopeful, but also being realistic, it's not right to flat out deny things that have been said.

Oh okay. This does seem like a genuine sounding e-mail from Glastonbury. I remember when I e-mailed them last year they did actually say there is no 'official' resale however keep your eyes peeled. That's a shame, I'm sorry to everyone who has missed out. I'll try and post competitions if I find any.

I'm of the belief that they're not quite ready to do a resale yet, if they're going to do one.

And that's because I was sold a punter's ticket this morning, after getting the relevant punter's details onto a list (after much grovelling, a personal favour to me was done, in sorting my kid a ticket) - but it needed the reg number, it wasn't a staff ticket.

Just because of the timings around the contacts made about that, I'd say it's unlikely to be before Thursday, at earliest.

I also know that the press office is doing the final checks on its tickets at the moment, with some urgency - which might well be tied into the same process, because if the festival needs any extras (or has spares), they'll need to come out of (or be put into) the public pot of tickets.

Lets look at the more positive stuff from yesterday.

Here is what the boss man said which gives some hope.

Them denying its a 'secret' resale is right though. It's not secret, it's available to everyone just usually not publicised. 

But even if you ask them about any other form of resale, they'll deny that too. It's always the same message. There might not be one, but could be. 

Not sure what people expect when asking them. 'Yeah, secret resale is lined up mate. 3:45pm today, just keep it to yourself though yeah?'
