yes you can. and yeah, smash1984, that's what I thought myself. but they didn't accept it. so... didn't want to start our glasto experience with a word fight :-)

They literally are useless this year. Anyone got twitter that can ask them what we do if they don't deliver the car park tickets in time? They seem to respond fastest that way

[beatlemania]

they'll tell you what I told you :-)

[Jules62]

@seetickets - they did tell someone yesterday that the WV tickets are being posted out today, although an hour before that tweet they were saying just check the tracker.. I'm not too sure what's happening this year.. It's dreadful! 

[beatlemania]

that's from the email last year:

 

Good morning,

At this stage you will need to repurchase another parking pass onsite when you arrive for £35 (cash only).
If you return the pass after the festival to the following address you will receive a £35 refund:

GLASTONBURY TICKETING
PO BOX 4288 
SHEPTON MALLET
BA4 9BB


Kind Regards

I definitely won't be paying on the day. If SEE don't deliver then they should accept the e-mail confirmation as that confirms car parking also

Ditto. I am NOT paying again, no way. WV did get back to me yesterday evening via Twitter and said "if you have no luck  [with See] come back to me at worthyview@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk and I'll do what I can to look at Plan B's for you".The only Plan B I'm accepting will involve the car park stewards accepting a copy of the confirmation email as proof of purchase. As no-one has yet received a car park pass, there's potential trouble brewing. Will give it until the end of the week then will be emailing the festival office too (I might pay them a visit on Northload Street....I don't live too far away and often go shopping in Street/Glasto....).

PS I got my festival ticket weeks ago, so really crossing my fingers that See sort that for you within the next day or so xx

See will. It's Worthy View's advice that I think we need. They're being a bit vague at the moment, but helpful and nice. Anyway, it's still likely that most people will receive their car park passes in time.

I'm sure there's discussions going on behind the scenes with the Festival Office ;-)

think so too, specially when you're living in england. I think I get them just the day after we left - so hopefully enough time for everyone!

See Tickets replied to my email this morning..

We're not able to confirm when individual items will be sent, but expect all parking passes to be posted over the next couple of days.  You'll receive an email once the order has been scanned for Royal Mail to let you know when it's been despatched.

[Tent Peg]

I only got the main tickets last Friday but they were posted guaranteed next day delivery before 1pm. If the parking tickets only go out on Friday we should still get them on Saturday.

[Jules62]

I've just asked See on twitter if they can be brought on the gate and they were very evasive, just said it would be better to buy before hand due to limited space... which I obviously have, they have said they would not start dispatching before all of the festival tickets have been sent out? Which is a bit worrying as they were only on 70 + % last night!  Our 'special delivery' took 2 days from receiving the email

very little use for us international customers travelling a day or 2 before the festival starts.

I don't really want to be annoying the volunteers on the gate, but we'll certainly be complaining if we have to shell out another £35 when we get there and then the hassle of posting the other pass internationally afterwards.

Think I must have just replied to your tweet! Asked the question of See/GlastoFest whether a copy of the confirmation email would be acceptable to stewards in the event the passes are not received in time. No reply...however, I think with enough of us being complete pests, we'll get an answer soon, if not the damn passes!

Ahhh yes I wondered if it was you!! I Really think something has gone wrong with ticket dispatch for the festival, this year.  I tweeted WV earlier but the accounts not been active today, hopefully you'll get a response regarding using confirmations although I think that might be difficult as people could pass the parking tickets on to someone and also use a confirmation so it'll be very difficult for them to police! Let's hope pester power works!

Not having the parking ticket isn't the only problem. We're leaving on Sunday and the booking confirmation said that travel instructions would also be included with the car pass.  A quick look on google street view shows quite a few ways you could get lost early on Wednesday morning, especially coming in from the west .

In all honesty the directions that have been sent out in previous years have not been any more than those on the information email that you will have received the other day.  The post code is a little earlier in this thread, so it may be best to use that  J

from the west, just get onto the A37 heading north and then take the left turn for WV.

Ta for info ghost dancer, I should have said north west, driving down from Scotland  so exiting m5 at j23 onto A39 through Glastonbury them the a361 towards festival. It's where to leave this road and find our way to WV that hopefully is signposted. Sat nav might help but not if certain routes are shut or made one way.

Totally agree. I got the best WV travel information (including the postcode) from this forum!

Hellooo :-)

BTW I got a PM from WV yesterday. They were very nice and said if passes don't arrive in time, to email them and they will sort out a Plan B - did not indicate what that might be. Still hoping they'll arrive by the end of this week, so I can hand them safely to my 2 friends who live in Gloucs and Worcs (will not be posting them, that's for sure!). I live on the Hants/Wilts border, so it's not as if we can just meet up on the way to Glasto next Wednesday. One week today.....can't flippin wait

It should be signposted for you from A361. But if it isn't....in in addition to having the postcode for your SatNav, I found this old traffic management plan map from 2010 http:///21lSflU  Following this, you'd take a right off the A361 into Newtown Lane, West Pennard, then bear right into Breech Lane, bear left into Bradley Way and keep going until you reach a left hand turn for Boxbush Hill which then joins Middleway Road. The Worthy View car park is the second left off Middleway Road.

Yay! I always find WV office great to deal with, at least I know if they're not received in time, they'll be willing to help! I don't blame you for not posting... It's everyone's worst nightmare that it all goes wrong and there's always a horror story every year! This is the point that I get really excited every year!

I'm travelling the same way and getting off at that junction too. I wouldn't go that route at all if I was you, you'll probably just get caught in the traffic through Glastonbury town.

here's the directions google maps give as the fastest route to WV from J23. It avoids Glastonbury town and all the area around the site where the carparks are.

On the A39 take a right turn for Berhill after Ashcott, follow the road down towards Lydford-on-Fosse, then up the A37 and take the left turn for WV:

SeeTickets have said that if the passes haven't been received two working days before travelling, to contact them at glastonbury@seetickets.com .

Maybe they can arrange collection at WV gate or something, will wait until Friday morning anyway.

[Tent Peg]

Can you get to the Worthy View car park from the A361 though? Or do you have to come in from south of the site? First year up there for us this year.
