    God I still get PTSD over those couple of months between resale to the start of the festival. Pretty sure the majority of us were still hoping in vain up until the day before the gates opened!

    Happy to help people in the resale for those who missed out on T-Day, let's get as many as the eFests crowd to the cider bus on the Wednesday!

    Until gates opened and beyond I remember for some.

    feels like I’ve been in this position for about 4 years now, there’s always someone in our group who ends up missing out as we have been unlucky in main sale for a few years now - last year it was Mr moheetoes who never made it to the farm - it was not a happy household for a few months before and after the festival I can tell you.

    Let me

    Newbie person in my group (who was a sister of a regular) was 1st to get through, but she wasn't on the whatsapp group so didn't know how she was progressing. Another person in our group 4 and group 1 got through put all details in and they bounced back as 1 person in group 4 and 2 people in group 1 had already paid..

    Turns out selfish newbie from my group bought her own ticket, her brothers and sister-in-laws only!!! which f**ked up two other groups.

    Such selfish behaviour in which whole group was not impressed!! 

    Holy shit - totally selfish and total lack of respect for the “rules” -  NEVER *cross the streams* 

    I’d be livid and planning my revenge at Glastonbury (as you’ll get sorted and will be on the farm too )

    I’m not a malicious person but i’d personally want to *mistakenly* put salt in their first morning’s coffee as a welcome to Glastonbury gesture.....

    Are secret resales actually a thing?

    They were, I’ve personally secured tickets in “secret resale’s” about 3 times so they did exist and usually after may refund deadline - requires dedication, patience and nerves of steel but if they happen , it is possible to get last chance saloon tickets.

    last year, the hardcore that were on the secret resale train waited (sat logged into here daily) for weeks only for it to never happen - which was brutal.

    we all won’t need the secret resales though as we will all get sorted in April *crosses fingers, toes and eyes*

    here's a bit of hope for you. 

    As it's not madge, there might be more tickets going back in the pot than there might otherwise be.

    :) 

    ? thanks neil, any glimmer of hope I’ll cling to

    Big fan of Muse. Saw them at V fest years ago and been a fan ever since. How 3 blokes make that sound is beyond belief!

    I’ve seen them twice at glasto, once at emirates stadium and managed to get standing tickets for the drones tour at MEN arena - awesome

    So I’ve been sat here feeling sorry for myself. Missed out on Glasto and I have a small self inflicted headache in the making.

    Just to add insult to injury someone just wandered past my desk and asked how I got on with Muse tickets.

    They went on sale at 9am.

    I completely forgot about it.

    Twat!!

    I had a presale access code for the wed sale this week, I couldn’t use it as I’ll be going away on holiday early in the morning after the gig.

    Shit, i could’ve offered it out if I’d have thought/had my head straight etc etc. Muse seem to get a bit of a slating on here at times 

    - I’ll admit it, I’m a massive muse fan, shoot me now 

  9. Morning all, the horrible feeling is still with me too. I try to put it all out of my mind but I keep hiding in here. Been in here so many times over the past few years and it doesn’t get any easier. Let’s hope these feelings dissipate more over the next week.

    I’m also trying to solve a particular issue for work and I’ve been going around in circles all week, can’t concentrate fully and it’s doing my nut in.

    Keep thinking about the resale club, the spreadsheet and how to sort payments etc. I’m sure I spent quite some time a few years ago on a similar thread mulling over these points with others and I don’t think we got a satisfactory conclusion back then to keep people’s card details safe/ensure people for their money back.

    Well its almost the weekend, and it’s due to be miserable weather, so I’m going to light the fire later, grab a bottle of wine and snuggle into the sofa with a film, although I’ll probably just drag the pooch and Mr moheetoes to the local pub.

    Having secured our groups tickets does anyone need assistance in April?

    Thanks @Penrhosany help would be massively appreciated for my now 2 groups, and with the worryingly growing numbers in here, I’m sure all offers of help for anyone in here will be gratefully received.

    I can’t remember a year when there has been so many regulars missing out and of course the people who have been in this situation for a couple of years.

    sorry to see you in here again @andyb66, missed your witty banter

    This thread is also cheering me up a lot, and I also don't dare venture off it! Will lurk here for the next few months, try not to get too emotionally invested, and avoid all line up rumours, until the resale is done! 

    ^^^this

    i feel safe in here *cradles knees and rocks gently back and forth*

    plus I love the others, they’re so helpful and i would love to join their club in April too.

    Am I allowed to join the club? Not trying for myself but for a few of my friends who missed out..and I feel bad.

    it does take the shine off quite a bit when you’re sorted and friends aren’t, don’t feel too bad though you will still go to the farm and have the best party ever, with resale tickets for your friends too.

  13. @pentura I also managed to get tix for a group in the 2016 nanosecond May resale (I got sorted in the April resale that year) that was brutal,  I remember feeling guilty at getting through in that one, at least we weren’t hanging for weeks like last year, for the secret resale that never happened.

  14. Keep the faith, it is possible.  I’ve bought in the resale(except for last year) and secret resale’s (except for last year) quite a few times before. I do think that my buying ticket luck has finally run out.

    You’re right @Milky Joeit is so disheartening to see so many familiar people in here this time around.

     I’m not looking forward to splitting down my group into 2 lots either, this happened last year our first group of 4 got resale tickets. second group didn’t  (Mr moheetoes wasn’t happy and best friend missed out too - we were in separate groups due to family member’s 30th for glasto weekend)  

    mid May to mid june last year was quite torturous in our household whilst camping in the secrets thread here.

    Those who didn’t get through yesterday, I’m with you - not even getting past the holding page myself I’m gutted to be here again (was hoping for a respite year from resale’s - not had a main sale ticket bought for me since Oct 2014) but for those who progressed further to no avail i really feel your pain and despondency, been there too.

    Come April, some may drop out as they won’t like the line up, some may drop out due to exams. People’s circumstances change (I had to give my ticket up in 2011 due to health issues) and some people just plain forget to pay their balances off in April.

    it’s not over until those gates open next year and then there’s always the twix.

  15. I’ve been succesful in resale’s and secret resale’s in the past 15 years but given the last 2 years failure in main sales, my hope is fading but I’m not giving up just yet.

    Strength in numbers with like minded people counts

    Thanks, congrats to you too! I ended up joining up with someone from this forum and their pal in a last minute bit of panic!

    Did you get tix John, Remember you from last year 

  17. Bring on the knob jokes, I need a bit of cheering up 

    shudders at the constant months spent in here last year waiting for the secret resale that never was

    Just about to start setting up, kettle is on, good luck all!

    Quick question. If I get through and try to buy 6 tickets but 2 of them have already been purchased in another group, will it abandon the whole transaction or just tell me I can’t buy those 2 and go ahead with the other 4?

    No it won’t let you proceed,f timing is right it’ll tell you ticket already purchased
