Bad Feeling

[CATKIN]

I hope i'm wrong, but all accomodation in Glastonbury is fully booked for the 22nd June, managed to book one hotel in Street, got confirmation, then got e-mail saying it was cancelled cos the BBC have booked the whole hotel

Managed to get another room eventually, but no choice in the whole area.

Booked 2 rooms at Glastonbury Travelodge last year after buying tickets..............

Hope this is not a bad omen for Sunday.... please tell me it will be fine

Sunday will be a piece of piss and if it isn't you can have my ticket

[CATKIN]

In previous years these boards have been rammed before t-day. This year there's hardly anyone around. I reckon that a sure sign that the tickets will still be shifting after Christmas.

Well over 400,000 people have registered (although that includes people who registered last year and ticked the box to continue their registration to this year). There's also loads of duplicate registrations. Still reckon it might be busy on Sunday

You have to remember the whole area is a holiday/tourist hot with Cheddar, Bath, The Tor, Wookie hole (aah family holiday memories) all nearby, and not just used for a festival every year, and hotels and guest houses do sell out rooms quickly. However I have seen a few rooms still available on various hotelfinder type websites. luckily I have a friend in Yeovil who can put me up for the night.

You might try looking further afield, Chippenham, Swindon, Marlborough etc.

Or a bit more leftfield, why dont you just ask if anyone can put you up for the night through Facebook etc, nothing ventured as they say.

Also the dup registration thing, I have 3 on the go so far.

I know people who have registered and have no intention of buying a ticket tmw.

In fact I doubt they will even get round to getting one.

Then in April some excuse will come up , but they def want to come next year.

But then the reply they got when they asked me about B & B ' ing it for 5 nights at Glasto prob put em off !!!

Well if the way the reg has gone this year then i can't see getting tickets being any fun.

Camp at old oaks instead. Well as long as your whisper isn't too loud that it annoys the absolute cranks that run the place.

This year will be one of the easiest for getting tickets, the lack of publicity surrounding ticket day this year is astounding.

Usually people at work are coming up to me and telling me its ticket day, yet this year not one person has said anything, I work for a large employer with over 1500 employees. When I have mentioned it to people the response has been really!!!! so early???

I think the organisers are keeping it low key this year to avoid any bad publicity with regards to low ticket sales & will be pushing the Feb 28th as the major ticket sale day. The cost is certainly a major factor this year. I was hoping to go campervan but having to pay for 2 tickets up front to get a camper ticket has put paid to that little exercise so my other half will not be going....

Very faulty logic there. If they were worried about slow ticket sales, the last thing they would do is set about a plan to minimise promoting the festival.

Feb 28th is the settlement day by the way - a subsequent sale day hasn't been announced yet (unless I'm a bit behind - which is always possible )

[paulo999]

I'm half with you.

I don't think there'll be any doubt about a sell out this year. We're now on the back of two acclaimed years, and this is the 40th

But I do agree about the possible lower PR about the sale day. If anything, that's a sign of confidence I'd say.

Really hope they don't sell out too early, got a lot of mates who are planning on getting some within the next month or two, reckon they'll be alright?
