_tootle Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Morning folks, I'm desperately after a camper van ticket for my parents. They go every year and have festival tickets but unfortunately failed to get camper van tickets on Thursday. Does anyone know if there will be an official announced resale or is it a case of regularly checking the ticket page and keeping all fingers & toes crossed? Apologies if this question has been asked a million times by others, I'm new to the forum and still getting used to it. Thanks in advance!

An announced resale is far from guaranteed, would suggest as a few were available recently, keep a close watch on the early part of next week, as others who accidentally got more than one cancel them and I'd guess decent chance more get put up for sale.

Thanks in advance! you could do worse than monitoring the page for changes using http://www.checkpage.co.uk which will send you an email and a text when the page changes. There's a small change because the texts aren't free, and any profit helps fund efestivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 56 so camping in a tent is a bit of a struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slash's hat Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Just out of interest, with the addition of bath and west spaces were there more CV tickets available this year or have they reduced the amount of vehicles they are allowing on east and west?

Not sure we will know until we turn up and there are fewer fields to park on. How quickly they sold out would suggest that there's fewer tickets available but it could be there's more but demand was much higher.

April 4 2005. Same boat as you though. Need a East campervan field ticket and have me own caravan. This has also brought me out of my shell but I am not panicking yet though. Still lots of time to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we're just soft. We have done campervan and tents over the last 9 years at Glastonbury. This year we are going with the whole family, 3 generations and friends. We are celebrating my 60th and missed out on tipis. I too enjoy the 'luxury' of our T4 but am really looking forward to camping inside the fence again.

Michaels denim shorts Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I've got 3 of these so far, none of which were for me, but il happily lend a hand if anyone wants to PM me their registration number & which CV field they want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thearg Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 So what's the deal with the campervan tickets,was it like T day a lot of people not being able to get past the holding page etc until everything sold out or was there a lot of people who just got caught out,I would of thought with the extra space and no touts it would of been easier but it seems that this is not the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 The site didn't go down and I didn't ever see the white screen of death, but by the time you're in the queue you're still frantically F5-ing away like billy-o.

Michaels denim shorts Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I got my first at around 12.05, and another at 12.10 without any crashes or white screens, just a few f5's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkyfairy! Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I tried on Thursday along with 2 friends and none of us got anything other than the holding screen , and by the time we got through east had sold out. Thankfully a kind efester got ours for us. in contrast I got through twice for two different people during yesterday resale and got east both times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
