Just dropped the phone call to my fiancé that our wedding is officially cancelled/postponed/fallow
We were getting registered in quiet at home, in just our normal clothes on the Monday.
Then we were having the ceremony at Glasto on the Saturday, she was vowing to wear her dress in as much mud as possible 😆
Shes upset , it’s not the end of the world, will be fine but what a grim phone call to have to make telling a girl her wedding is off

Let’s not. This year will be difficult enough financially for the Eavises and everyone else who relies on the fest financially, they don’t need their day-to-day livelihoods being ruined on top.
Ok let’s hope it doesn’t rain all year , either way

Let’s pray for torrential rain on what would have been the 2020 dates

Rollover was always the fairest thing

There is absolutely no way in a billion years that a festival well known for its difficulty to get tickets for , is going to tell 150,000 people “tough luck, try again”
They would get absolutely canes in the media, it’s against Glastonbury spirit and 9/10 ticketless people that are vying for it won’t get tickets for 2021 regardless of what happens. It makes zero sense for them to do it, they gain nothing from it, it’s cold and its pointless.

This does feel like people saying liverpool shouldnt win the league. The fair thing to do is obvious
Best idea is that 2020 ticket holders get 2021 tickets and the league is voided

Agreed. Absolutely baffling
To be fair , most people I have spoken to that don’t have a horse in the race , fundamentally and 100% agree that it’s a baffling idea.
I just think a few people online are really desperate to be able to go even if that means at others expenses , so want as much as chance as possible.

Yeah I've booked stewarding at Download. At least didn't want them not to have a quota of volunteers.
Download is right at the start of June, I don’t see Download happening if Glasto doesn’t (I have tickets for both)

Blue Dot is an un-sold out festival that is depending on the return of people for the next festival. Glastonbury has no such problem, and everybody’s 2020 tickets are now invalid as they are for a nonexistent festival. I know it sucks for people to think that their October ticket success was for nothing, but thats unfortunately just how it’s fallen this year. I’d be shocked if tickets were carried over.
There are people that would be astonished if ticket holders didn’t get first choice on 2021 too, it’s been done to death. Nobody knows, the voices are louder for them to not carry over because more people don’t have tickets than do -

Sounds pretty spot on with what they can do.
Emily had the best intention of giving everyone something good within all of this chaos when the poster came out. I would believe she isn’t going to take everyone’s ticket now to break spirits even more. If they did, October would either be the most difficult onsale theyve ever had or the easiest because nobody has trust any event will carry on in the future.
It would just seem to be the most un-Glasto thing ever to take people’s tickets. -

I may be biased but I’d like to think I’d say this if I didn’t have tickets. Every other festival seems to be carrying tickets over, even the ones that aren’t postponing but are outright cancelling.
There are arguments for both sides but I think they’ll come down on the side of carrying them over. Maybe via a priority window a week before general sale in October.
I would say the main hope is because they’ve announced the lineup, that this “festival” will be postponed until next year,
They will want to avoid completely wiping the lineup and starting again I would imagine.

Another one that I have no idea about,
I have a very excited 11 year old that was coming to Glastonbury , next year he will be 12, so he’ll need a ticket - but obviously didn’t get him one.
It’s small in the grand scheme of things but what a mess

I was having my wedding ceremony at Glasto this year , my fiancé is crying. Fml

I know why a lot of people want their tix to carry over, but why is it morally right?
Because it’s so hard to get tickets , it would be very harsh on people that did manage to get tickets after years, to then not be able to go.
It’s in the spirit of Glastonbury that’s 100% sure

They didn’t go to Glastonbury in 2020 so they missed out. As did those with tickets.
Sometimes shit things happen.
Yeah they do, and I would imagine that the people that missed out on tickets will understand that and look forward to attempting again when they’re next eligible

Well said that man.
Much more eloquent than I was trying to manage yesterday.
Disagree
The people that “missed out” for 2020 won’t have missed out on anything, nothing will have happened.

I am not looking for an argument here, but if anyone could please explain so I am on the same page as other people.
How is it, honestly - that people can consider of these 2 possibilities
“People that didn’t get a ticket for 2020, wouldn’t be able to go to a postponed 2021 because 2020 got cancelled”
”People that got a ticket to the cancelled 2020 lose their rights and have to re apply with the rest”
That the first one is genuinely more unfair than the second one? Like seriously. I absolutely cannot fathom it

It's not the 50th Glastonbury - it's the 50th anniversary of Glastonbury. If it next takes place in 2021 then it will be the 51st anniversary of Glastonbury. We haven't bought a ticket to Glastonbury 2021.
The point still stands, it’s genuinely concerning that people are rabidly saying that’s gonna be the outcome.

I love the idea that people think
Liverpool will be given a league title they didn’t win
The 50th Glastonbury is going to be full of people that initially didn’t get a ticket, whilst those that did end up not being able to go
Neither will happen; both are bizzare outcomes almost solely perpetuated by Liverpool fans and ticketless people, both clinging onto theories for their own gain when neither make sense at all.

But they know those people will have been making plans, in many cases spending money, on the basis that they’ll be attending. That inconvenience/expense is what, I think, gives rise to a moral obligation to give those people an option for the following year.
I find the general idea that the festival should be more (or equally) worried about upsetting people who don’t have tickets than those who do a very odd one.
It is of course absolutely absurd. They’ve even released the lineup.
There is no possible way this will result in people that got tickets for the 50th Glastonbury not being able to attend, and those who didn’t get tickets attending.

just find it crazy that there seems to be a prevailing opinion that its more unfair to compensate people who've made financial and personal commitments to a festival, when ticketless people would still be missing one festival. bonkers.
It’s just people being selfish because they didn’t get tickets, it’s literally nothing but that.

I don’t see any chain of events happening where people that successfully got tickets for the 50th Glastonbury won’t be able to go to the 50th Glastonbury if they wish.

I would imagine a few thousand tickets are going to be taken up by people taking their kids who will cross the threshold , now they’re being allowed to jump the queue for a real ticket.
