Me. I only returned to Glastonbury this year for the first time since having kids. I've just been accepted to do PGCE starting September, so if I dont get resale tickets, I may well have seen my last Glastonbury. Sob

I did my PGCE about 12 years ago.  Best two years of my life and a third career (of sorts) as a result.  But mine is in Adult and Community Ed, not school teaching, so everyone who employs me knows not to even think about offering me work in the last week of June.  And, luckily, as quite a lot of my employers are also Glasto-goers they understand.

That's a great system you have there! Luckily I don't work in the education system so don't have to worry

I'm going to be offline for the remainder of the year so I'd like to wish everyone a happy Xmas and a very merry new year! Massive massive thanks to whoever (my memory is appalling so I apologies in advance) set up the resale spreadsheet and a massive thanks , even if tickets don't come my way,  to those of you who have volunteered to help in the resale. You are all stars!

Just remember over the Xmas period to be safe and to drink in moderation! to be honest if it wasn't for predictive typing I couldn't actually spell moderation!

love to all xx

Is the resale dates the same each year like the main sale date? if so do we know which Sunday it will be?

I don't think they give the full SP until after the balance deadline has passed and people have/haven't paid the remainders of their tickets off. At least, thats how I remember it last year.

STAY STRONG FRED WE WILL SUCCEED

You need TheThingy. 

Check out April in the all new Calendar section for resale dates.

Not sure what to do. Hang on for Gladtonbury just on the offchance, or get tickets for Primavera. Got to be honest, moving towards the latter at the moment.

Although, if i get Primevera sorted, then get lucky in the resale, i suppose i theoretically could do G as well, although it's proper late to sort out stuff like travel, camping gear, all the practicalities.

Are you not back in Blighty then anyway? Tent, cash, a couple of pairs of clean boxers and you're away.

I'm the same.

What do you lot reckon is the best way to organise coach ticket buddies? i'm sorted with a group for the main resale but wouldn't mind trying with another person for the coach too.

Anyone else trying for the coach on their lonesome?

[mr gumby]

If anyone on this thread has volunteered to do litter picking through the Small Steps project before, and would be interested in doing so again next year, check your emails today. I got an email just now asking if I wanted a place, but I'm already sorted for a ticket. They're offering places to those who've volunteered (and completed all their shifts) in previous years, before opening it up to others.

I think you need some inspiration from perennial failures like @FloorFiller or @GETOFFAMYLAWN who still manage to get there in the end. 

 

And me. Tickets for 3 out of the last 4 festivals have been nabbed in the resale. 

[Lucy92]

And me - ultimate last minute ticket bag last year. Don't give up

[Gnomicide]

[Doug85]

Never managed to get them in the resale yet. Hopefully this time is different!

PS not the motivational speech I was expecting to lift our ticketless foreign brethren''s spirits. 

I've ordered a full gospel choir to back me up for the next one, just waiting for them to arrive.

There's a joke brewing somewhere around this, but I'm going to be better than that. 

Oh, go on, it's Christmas.

I've just booked my leave and have got the time off in June, more in hope than expectation. If unsuccessful I'm leaving the country or living in a wheelie bin for that week. 

[mungo57]

Glasto is always a pain annual leave wise for me. My holiday year starts 1st April and my boss steadfastly refuses to allow me to book leave until the 1st. I emailed him at 1 minute past midnight last year to make sure I got it as first come first serve (I am a subcontracted Building Manager working for an agency - lone worker so its in my interests to get hols requests in early) and he called me the next day having a go at him for waking him up! Not my fault he didn't switch his phone off
