No reselling is not a factor for this since you can get a refund up until May 6th minus the same admin fee you lose when you don’t pay the balance.

Like everyone else, I'm hoping the poster is this week, but I'm also considering the possibility that even though the payment dates were pulled up a month, nothing else about how they operate is being pulled up a month. And I bet there are reasons that do not allow for a first poster even if many of the acts have been getting rolled over for 2 years running. If that's all true, then we shouldn't expect a first poster significantly any earlier than the earliest it has ever been in the past, which according to the Thingy was March 12 way back in... 2020. I would add what's reassuring to me about this is if the poster doesn't come this week, that doesn't mean anything is wrong or headliners or acts in doubt, it just means they are operating on their normal schedule, just with an earlier balance payment and resale for the already listed reasons.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that when and how we pay off our balance won't affect this. It honestly won't be the worst thing for us if we get the afternoon coach, as we went in for a tipi, so no need to rush for a camping spot. I just like the early morning rising idea of an early coach (and reminds me of childhood trips) versus buzzing around post-breakfast with nothing to for a few hours. 2.5 years after putting in the deposits this is a pretty great day. Seemed like we would never get here some days. Fun!

Thanks! That's reassuring! Yes, we all booked Bath one way in one ticket deposit purchase in 2019. My understanding from searching the forums is there will be an early morning Bath departure and one later, like mid-afternoon. My hope would be for our group to get on the earlier one. I mean my biggest concern is just that we don't get placed on different buses, but getting the earlier bus would also be nice.

Just paid off my balance. First time going. Exciting! So 6 of us bought a coach+ticket package but it's now down to 4, who are all paying off our tickets separately. Does this potentially mean we are split up on the coach? Or is it only the deposit grouping that matters? Same question but for coach departure times. Does how early we pay our balance affect which coach time we are assigned? Or do people think this is determined by when we got in on the ticket deposit sale? Thanks in advance! 🙂

4/6 - the 2 that are out were also likely out in 2020. Trying for 1 in the resale.

Heh, good point. The act name is "EARTHGANG" who were on the 2020 poster. I saw the date the USA tour ended and posted before realizing the Europe dates pick up many months later.

Whoops read tour dates wrong.

Our lead booker got the same terrifying email about us all (maybe) being refunded that others got. I also share in common that one of our group asked for a refund last year. When I look up the lead bookers ticket booking, i get a page showing us 5, and the person that asked for refund separate from us below - nothing about a refund for any of us, though - just that weird separation. I’m hoping this was just a terribly worded email, and it just means the one refund is being imminently processed. But i may not be able to help myself and be on the phone with SeeTickets England tomorrow just to be sure. (Also will keep looking at this thread - everyone else who got this email please do update!)

I think Skunk Anansie would be quite surprised to be dropped based on their tour dates (or lack of dates during Glasto weekend). Happy Mondays are also around and active (though without such an obvious hole so far).

It’s an ironic bit of shade to throw considering the forum creator/owner literally posted 2 above this comment. The idea that those against lockdowns and restrictions are “dicks” or “unkind” that @blutarsky puts forward is a bit infuriating considering the damage of said restrictions/lockdowns are all taken out on the lower classes, while not protecting those classes as they are deemed “essential workers,” taking the brunt of the sickness while also suffering the economic costs of the restrictions that only protect wealthier communities. I would dare say those *for* lockdowns and restrictions are indeed the cruel ones, ignoring this reality, often because they are upper class themselves with work from home jobs. Also, it’s all a bit hypocritical because those the most in favor of lockdowns and restrictions would never allow mass gatherings, so those insulting us are doing so on the side of people that would likely never want Glastonbury to happen again, certainly not this year.

To be fair, I also saw your post calling it “zero” costs and got a bit upset, though I tend to not like getting into arguments, or even posting, on here. Though I appreciated you putting quotation marks around “zero,” it still felt you were inferring masks were worth it as an intervention if stopping 10% of cases and the zero you typed felt like you were minimizing their costs. I change my behaviors dramatically to avoid places that require masks, it’s a big deal to me. It’s possible this is an age issue and younger people have less issues with them? But @jannybruck has already written it better than I could in terms of the cumulative impact of people like me avoiding most activities that require masking. Where I am, NYC/USA, there is also a real problem with “experts” claiming masking has zero impact on children and schools with lots of gain. This is slowly (too slowly) being proven wrong with study after study, but another reason the word “zero” gets under my skin, because I see it written all the time by “experts” on Twitter defending things like school and child masking as well.

Yes, coming to the site for the first time every day there is a considerable timeout for me. First request and sometimes multiple pages after (timeout, then error 500). It eventually behaves normally. Until the next day.

It’s funny someone came here to complain about this thread today. I came here just now to *thank* everyone for this thread as we hit a new year. I don’t post here, but I read daily, and seeing others who have a cynical view of the lockdown and restriction obsessed keeps me optimistic as this roller coaster trudges on. So, thank you! I pray for the day this thread is no longer needed, but sadly I don’t see a future yet where all restrictions are gone, or where there aren’t people demanding more, that then leads me to come here to agree with the other, shall we say, restriction-cynical posting here. So thank you! Keep it up, and happy new year! (And hopefully I’ll see some of you at Glastonbury? If some of you even have tickets? Or go to music festivals? Haha.)

500 error still happening, which I presume is what they are very nicely offering you to troubleshoot and fix.

I'm down to 70% but I'm not sure no announcement this week would affect my confidence one way or another. Even if they had an announcement planned and were 100% going ahead they still may delay the announcement until England is at least past the peak of this new wave.

Pressure created by media only demanding restrictions.

95% - The side that is pushing for restrictions now in the UK, they won’t stop once they get some. They will keep pushing, and that side does not want festivals happening, even in summer. When have the people that have demanded more restrictions ever been OK with loosening restrictions? This idea of some on here that thinks, “restrictions now will mean we can have festivals later” are not looking at what’s happening. You don’t get an eventual treat if you stay at home and wear a mask today, you will just embolden the people that want restrictions to push for more. Covid is endemic, it’s never leaving, everyone is getting it. This discussion now is how we end up living for the next 10 years. If “plan b” happens I will go lower still. 😕

This confirms London Grammar and Anna Calvi both back at Glastonbury from the 2020 poster which is good news for me.

Yeah it won't be Kendrick that will cause a reaction it will be the realization that Billie Eilish is the replacement for Taylor Swift.

100% that email felt good to receive

This brings back imelda may from the 2020 poster.
