Ebay Tickets


Guest barkley87

Recommended Posts

Me and a friend have managed to get our tickets for this year's Glastonbury, however my boyfriend hasn't (despite us both desperately trying all this morning). It would have been his first glastonbury so he's still quite keen to go, and i suppose i'd prefer to have him there too.

However, as he didn't manage to get a ticket in the resale he's now talking about getting a ticket off ebay. Does anyone have any experience of this? I remember being sat on the coach down last year next to a girl who had a ticket obviously bought from ebay (the picture only looked slightly like her - same hair colour i think), who was trying to memorise her "name" and "address". I don't know if she got in or got turned away though.

Even though i want my boyfriend there, i think i'd be more comfortable with him saving the money and definately being able to go next year (just in case it ends up being a fake ticket, he gets turned away at the gate etc). Though, like i said, he's quite adamant to go.

Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

I wouldn't risk an ebay ticket myself. You're at the mercy of how thorough the staff are being on the particular gate you pick.

There will be 'some' more tickets on sale - people can still cancel up until May. Many people on here have got tickets late before just through perserverance. Keep calling See, keep an eye on the See Glasto tickets page, you never know he might get lucky.....

I did see some people being turned away at gate. Were sent to a portacabin because they didn't look like the photo. Don't know what happened from there.

Could be very expensive. Also he may not be your boyfriend anymore if you go in and he has to sit in the car for 5 days :P

a few of my mates have got in on ebay tickets ,they looked nothing like like the pictures , all you've got to do is be chatty to the person looking at your ticket and they will leave you through , they are mostly students who couldnt give a shit who goes through the gate , at least 3 of my mates will be buying tickets from ebay this year and i guarantee they'll get through the gates

Not sure about this 'students couldn't give a shit who goes in' statement. I have had a couple of young people checking mine and they were quite thourough. Pretty much depends on who you get.

I think there are a lot of people minding the gate who find it rather arousing to have power over people.

:P

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
