Worthy View, Tipis & CV Fields Sale

[briddj]

Looks like this is now reverted to the refreshing holding page? Wonder what is happening?

Maybe it is just due to the load of people trying to buy Adele tickets and it is affecting all See Tickets pages.

yep, it's probably that - the glasto pages go into overload-mode when there's other big sales happening on their system.

How does worthy view work? First time camping there this year. Do we get passes on entry for worthy view?? We have a spare bed so if one of our freinds gets tickets in resale can they just join us??

Yeah, you get a WV wristband when you enter the site from their entrance.

You have to email WV the names of the people who are in your group about a month or so before. So if you have a spare space, your friend can join you.

Where am I 

[Cbrinxy]

Lead booker of my WV tent is not coming to glastonbury anymore. Any idea whether its possible to transfer? Thanks

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm sure if you contact the festival they'll change the name of the lead booker for you, presuming he's not getting a refund.

Isn't it better to contact Seetickets and speak with a manager?  I'm looking into this because MrsCJ may have an op around June requiring time off, so I would be staying to look after her and not coming down. Thing is, the CV ticket is in my name and it's my van the rest of the group would be needing, so if you get a good response, please let me know as I may need to transfer the CV ticket somehow.

If you booked as a group you should be fine.  Have a read of this from GFL website ”Campervan/caravan tickets are personalised to the named campervan/caravan ticket booker, and are strictly non-transferable. If the person who books the campervan ticket subsequently cancels their ticket booking (prior to 5th May), the campervan ticket will also be cancelled. If someone else within the original booking would like to take over the campervan ticket, the booking can be rebooked with their registration as long as this is requested at the point of cancellation (£10 admin fee will apply) but the booking cannot be reassigned retrospectively or transferred to someone who wasn’t in the original booking."

Thanks for that, yes, one of them is in my group booking.  Just need to keep an eye out on the May date then.

Is there normally a resale for this after tickets have been handed in?

Not officially but it might be worth keeping an eye on the site next week. Anyone who doesn't pay their balance will surely cancel their WV booking too.

[idb]

I need to pay the balance on my festival ticket, but I am also interested in Worthy View (if there is a resale)  

Unsure what to do with regards to my parking ticket, as if I purchase a normal one when paying off my balance and then manage to get into Worthy View this will require a different parking ticket.

You can buy a (regular) parking ticket literally on the door at Glastonbury, so you have plenty of time to watch for a Worthy View sale.

Wondering if there is special route we should take to get to worth view? we are coming from the north and the entrance for WV appears to be on the south/south east side of the festival.

Anyone got any tips? We will be trying to get there as early as possible on the wednesday

"the north" is a bit vague! but your best bet is to come in from the A37 to the south as this avoids all the traffic for the general camping car parks. I don't know what it's like on the east side of Pilton, but to the west, there's very little/any traffic for most of the way, so I'd say if possible come down the M5, onto the A39, then before you get to Street, cut down to the A37. that's the way we went last year and didn't get stuck in any traffic.

From Liverpool sorry

The A37 is the east side of Pilton isnt it? haha I was initially thinking of going a39 down to glasto village and come in from below/west. But I have a feeling Glasto town/village will be rammed?

 

EDIT: Oh sorry I see where you mean now.... A39 past glasto then hit the A37 coming up from the south?

Yes, definitely this.  Avoid coming in to WV from the East A361/A37 as traffic can be hideous. I cross A37 going to WV, as I use the back routes through Bruton/Ditcheat. Very little traffic (comparatively) coming from the West on A37 in my experience, as it's all on the A361 heading towards the general camping West car parks.

[Mackem]

SIAD but ... does anyone know if you can change the name on a Worthy View booking? I have a friend who doesn't need his now, and a son who does. Are the wristbands different or is it easy for friend to pass over to son once inside?

[briddj]

You confirm the final names staying in the tent by email in June. Can change whoever you want to a new name.

[Mackem]

Thanks Briddj - really helpful

2 quick questions, would be great of anyone can answer. 

Are scout tents distributed on a first come first served basis once the site is open or is everyone allocated a tent at the time of booking. 

Is there definitely a bus that goes from the bus drop off point to WV. I've seen very little mention of it and am curious as to how convenient it is.

I've only stopped in the bell tents in recent years and those are allocated on arrival, I would think it's the same for scout tents.

Yes there is a frequent bus from WV to the bus drop off.

Have a Good One..
