tickets are NOT currently available

[alframsey]

Im a bit worried bout getting a ticket but should have no problom cos live in the arena so local tickets aswell

[parsonjack]

Aren't local tickets just for the sunday though??? Thats what i always thought.

[Cornflake]

Well out of 8 people I know who put down a deposit, two aren't buying a ticket, so at that ratio there might be a fair few back on sale on 2nd Feb.

[alframsey]

I am amazed at the rate of sale! I was thinking people could still get theres, i even thought they might have extended the deadline for payment! I am very glad i got mine before now, in fact about 3 days ago! I hope they use this deposit scheme every year!

[paulo999]

Based on previous claimed sales figures, the run rate has been 1000 per day for the last two weeks. My guess on the number of lapsed-deposit tickets is 10 - 20k. The sales rate may however accelerate on Feb 2nd, either as a response to the sellout story, or with a possible announcement of acts.

All in all, I'm guessing there'll be between 5 and 10 days worth of tickets on Feb 2

clearly all this increased recent speculation has got people interested... hopefully they can pull off some headliners that people wont feel let down by now...

[Bradders]

It certainly seems to have worked out very well. I think it is definitely the fairest scheme for allocating tickets that's ever been available, certainly no one can complain about how tickets have been put on sale this year.

blur will be a big crowd puller

but neil and bruce although big in their own right arent going to get your young festival goer running for the phones....its not exciting

if they can get good mid level acts which they were lacking in last year it will help

eg interpol

im still confused over coach tickets

they didnt change the lincense after last year

so when do coach tickets come into it?

or are they just hoping x amount will travel by coach without forcing them to?

I really dont think the speed of this years ticket sales has much to do with the speculated headliners.

[Redcanadahat]

didn't i tell ya ;-)

i'm going to sound like a complete moron but couldnt people buy tix as early as october? don't moan about missing out..you've had over 3 months to buy one/put a deposit down.

I'll be extremely surprised if there's more than 2,500 tickets that don't have the deposit paid on them.

Don't forget that a big chunk of the tickets sold already were paid up in full when bought.

I've just amended the title of the thread, to make it more accurate for the situation.

You could well be right. 10-20k may well have been a massive overestimate on my part.

In which case the spares might only last a few days.

I'll be extremely surprised (providing they all get put on the system at the same time - they might not) if they last more than a couple of hours. I wouldn't be surprised to see them gone in minutes.

Don't care ordered mine, people have had several months to get them by now.

Have just spoken to a gentleman from Seetickets who told me that the tickets have been broken down into 3 sale batchs purposely . So the first being the depoist lot due to be paid 1st Feb, second lot from the 2nd Feb and I presume the 3rd lot is the April release.

Fingers crossed for all those who still want to pay on the 2nd Feb that there should be a decent amount

the ones available from 2nd Feb will be only the ones where the remaining amount wasn't settled - there's no others put by. There is no batch!!

There is a batch put by for the 5th April sale, but out of that batch will be taken tickets for locals. What's left over is what will go on sale on 5th.

(You don't want to go believing too much what the telephone staff tell you, they're not always properly in the loop)

i might see if i can get some money together in the next few weeks. Hopefully the ones onsale on monday will last for a few weeks and all will be ok

so all the local people who can applly for local tickets will get them.And the rest will be left for general public can u confirm this? and also what kind of date are we looking at for local ticket sales.

I can't confirm anything, I can only tell you what I've been told from various directions.

I've been told they'll be a public sale on 5th April. So there will be.

I have no info on locals tickets.
