eFestivals Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I have a theory... Up until See showed it as SOLD OUT. the See site was under a lot of pressure. EVEN non Glastonbury booking pages could not be accessed (due to Glastonbury traffic). I think they would have to stop the traffic coming through the site after a reasonable time as all other ticket sales would be affected by the glastonbury traffic, which would be a huge loss of revenue for See. So taking this into account I reckon more tickets will go onsale once the media hype has died down a little.... soz to tell you that the info I'm getting from all directions is that 130,000+ tickets were definitely sold yesterday. I believe what I'm being told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 ii thought the it was nearer 150,000 to 175,00. ? The licenced number is 177,500. Of that number, around 135,000 tickets are made available for sale, with the rest taken by performers, staff, kids, etc. All of the tickets available for sale yesterday were sold - every last one of them is what I'm being told from various sources, and I believe those sources.

Moonlight Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm totally gutted that I forgot to register this year. I feel so stupid that I forgot about it (life has been a bit hectic lately), I know it's my own fault. But why have they closed registration again?! This is a nightmare!

samxpenguin Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Waking up at 9am yesterday to buy tickets, i put in my registration number and postcode about 100 times, it said they wern't recognised. Convinced it wouldn't sell out today i thought id leave it till monday, apply for a registration number again and see what happens. Bad calls, won't make ti for first time in 8 years it seems:(.

ianianian Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 At least in the good old days we only had from April to June to be sad at not having a ticket. Now there are eight months of being annoyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samxpenguin Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Has anyone got a phone number to ring up about registration numbers? Ie. to complain that mine didnt work, and to make sure it does next time a few tickets go on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdale Wolf Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 That could be true. I've wanted to go to Glasto for a few years now but nobody would go, and then there's a good weather year I have a few folk to go with. Also, looking at leeds. One year it was brilliant weather and we all were up for it the following year. 08 it was a total mudbath and did dampen the weekend quite a bit and we didn't want to go in 09.

sammysundae Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 hopefully me and 20 mates will be able to get tickets. but this is going to be a VERY stressful 8 months. i literally can't believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E. Spliff Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Looks like I was very wrong, I wish I wasn't due to people missing out, but wrong I was sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie's Cat Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I can't believe they sold out! I was also going to say something along the lines of "well, calm down everyone, there's no way over 100,000 people will buy tickets nearly nine months before the festival, it's just not realistic" But there was a teeny part of my brain that said "what if they do though?" and this was only strengthened by peeps on here that were raring to go. Thanks to them I got sorted really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Exorcist Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Didn't book my ticket for 2009 until 17th November so I was very lax about getting tickets yesterday. Really should have tried harder. My own fault and I have no one else to blame. No registration problems, nothing. Well, maybe my girlfriend for carting me off to her mother's house when I should have been getting tickets. Probably should have taken my laptop!

Josie's Cat Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Last year was my first year, and I didn't get tickets till January, and then they were on sale for ages after that, but like LW says, I think the weather makes a big difference.
