clawing back tickets from touts
Michael Eavis spells it out

Wed 9th Apr 03



Glastonbury Festival Glastonbury Festival 2003

After Glastonbury Festival sold all 112,500 tickets in a record time of just 24 hours, many were immediately available for high prices on internet auction websites.

According to reports of an interview Michael Eavis has made with Virgin Radio (to be broadcast on Sunday) they have already reclaimed 500 tickets, and have someone working full-time tracking down and denying tickets (and making a refund) to those resellers. Even so, he admits that some resellers will still succeed.

The full interview can be heard this Sunday between 7 and 10pm, where Michael talks about his favourite music and this years Festival. Virgin Radio is available on 1215AM across the UK.

If you have tickets to sell - at about face value - or want to pick-up a ticket at a reasonable price, get yourself to www.ScarletMist.com - there's no better place to buy or sell a ticket.
