  4. What would you change about the Glastonbury sales process?

    in Chat

    Posted

    Got on twice just after 9am & payment page timed out both times. Got back on again only to be told after I sent payment "tickets have sold out while inputting your details"

    I personally think that once you got to the booking page that the tickets should be reserved for a few mins to give you a chance to complete also find some way of securing the page so it doesn't time out before completion of payment transaction.

    Deposits should be scrapped & full payment taken at the time of booking would reduce the demand & give the festival more money in the bank earning interest which would also be more money available to the good causes.

    Sat outside CV late on Friday & heard a woman moaning to her fella about every being so expensive & not to mention the ticket price.

    Man "don't worry it'll be half price next year"

    woman "great, why's that" with excitement in her voice.

    Man "because I'm coming on my own"

  8. Last minute campervan/motorhome rental

    in Questions

    Posted

    I haven't got a clue about it but I presume that just insuring someone else to use your campervan on a commercial basis would be quite high. I've got a campervan and would love to rent it out to make an income off it (just enough to wash it's own face really). However, I just think the insurance would be mental, which you would have to factor into the price of hiring it out.

    I'd love to help out on this occasion for the sum of £500 but I live in Birmingham and not the south and couldn't be arsed dealing with the insurance aspect of it. On top of that I couldn't drive it down to the south on time because I'll be driving another vehicle down to Glastonbury. If you can see a way around those obstacles eg getting your own insurance and collecting and dropping it back to Birmingham then I may be interested. Not sure if that is of help or not. Oh, just to add, that it only sleeps two people as it has a fixed double bed in it - which is unusual I believe but beyond comfy. It's also got a wc, fridge and gas oven and hob.

    Anyway, I'm not trying to push it on you. In fact it hadn't occurred to me to rent it out until I saw your post.

    PS - The van is a long wheeled based transit which has rather an unusual wrap on it's bodywork - see photos on this thread below;

    We had a loan motorhome for the festival last year & got a weeks insurance from Day Insure who specialise in temp insurance for about £130 with 2 named drivers.

    yes no problem with awning or tent. We usually have two tents along side of our motorhome plus a wind out sun canopy. Many caravans also have full sized awning plus tents too.

    Very nice, but i don't spend much time sleeping or eating cake whilst at the festival plus the hospitality tickets are on top of the price. Sure showers & toilets are nice but so are the ones in motorhomes.

    Using my superfast BT Fibre Broadband and didn't get a sniff. Still can't see the holding page.

    If I use a proxy or 3G I get straight on. Very strange and suspicious.

    Luckily a friend managed to get tickets for us.

    My super fast fibre didn't get any further than the holding page, but luckily friend who lives out in the sticks with slow BB connection managed to get our tickets. Sure is luck of the draw!

    Gutted for anyone that missed out, roll on April.

  19. IS IT JUST ME OR WAS THIS YEAR A DISAPPOINTMENT?

    in Chat

    Posted

    Hi All,

    I don't know if its just me or was this year a disappointment?

    1. Way to BUSY!, I went to Glastonbury in 2010 and 2011 and both times it was busy don't get me wrong, but this year just seemed like a joke! I went to see the arctic monkeys and it was so rammed everyone in the crowed was basicly pressed up against each other!

    2. Queing for a life time!, Every Stall I went to I had to que for a lifetime and half the time I would give my order and they would forget what i had ordered?? WTF?

    3. Arcadia!, Right this one really gets on my tits - Every year I have been I have put off going to see Fat Boy Slim, So I rushed over there on the Saturday night to go and see him, Get there im like this is quiet? let move closer... I get to the metal arm leg of the spider and I still couldn't hear anything? --Massive disappointment.

    4. The Line up!, Now im putting half the reason it was so busy this year was due to the management of the line up. So for example arctic monkeys are playing - what other big bands are playing - err no one? Back in 2010 and 2011 when Beyonce was on you had chase and status, the streets, queen of the stone age all on etc..

    5.The People! So im at the nacho stand and my brother collapse on the floor out cold, Not one fucker rushed to help him apart the people behind the stand who had to come all the way round the site to help. And at this point I dropped aload of cash and my sunglasses that all got stolen.

    I really felt this year was a complete fuck up by management and it seems to me the more that Emily gets involved the worse it is getting. They basicly spent all there money on the rolling stones who are greedy enough as it is and did get any other decent acts in.

    If security made more of an effort on hedge pissers instead of hassling people smoking week there wouldn't be much of a problem. Saw two security men walked straight past two hedge pissers up on the railway line & didn't say a word. W@nkers!

    Worst security team I have ever seen at glasto & have emailed the festival office saying so, as well as congratulating them on probably the best festival that I have ever attended.

    Fish Finger Sarnie from the stall near Gate C £3.50 for 3 scabby tasteless fish fingers on very dry (verging on stale) roll. Told numerous others queuing at the stall whenever I passed over the weekend, not to bother.

    As always the Goan Fish Curry was about the best thing I had eaten until I had the Chicken Saag Wrap on Sunday evening from the Chapatti man on Left Field. Wish i had tried one earlier in the week.

    Whilst in West Holts guy comes up & asks "where's the nearest toilet? I can smell one but don't see it" the nearest was 100 yards away in the Cabaret Field.

    Outside Circus Stage, a guy looking like Jesus walked right through the middle carrying a 5ft hola hoop & the guy on stage stops his act & says "fuck me mate I bet you wish you had that 2000 years ago, they couldn't of nailed you to that c**t"
