Resale

Agree on the crap joke front. However, i think cancelling someones ticket over something posted on facebook is OTT and a tad harsh. Lesson learned i guess!

[kieran55555]

the worst thing is that it wasnt me that wrote the joke it was a friend/ex-friend that hasnt even got a ticket himself. he was contacting my friends on my facebook as they were trying to get tickets for each other.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

I know it's cruel and I shouldn't laugh.

At the end of the day it was on the "Official" Glastonbury Facebook I presume. Now if I was an organiser and I saw someone taking the piss because others ain't got tickets I think I would cancel their ticket.

It's hard to prove it was not you at the end of the day, but as you say you now have an ex friend.

[glasgowpete]

oh no, dont tell me you wrote that on the "official glastonbury" facebook page.

its hard to find any sympathy, threatening to tout on the official page of a festival that takes touting on ebay pretty seriously. even as a joke, what goes around comes around and all that.

ach look on the bright side, the line ups shit this year

In defence , you could argue that the puishment did not warrent the crime and you would have to

go through the small print

I forgot to mention

Glasto never had a problem with touts selling tickets in front of their noses for years , so to crack

down on you seems harsh.

Prob gonna get my ticket cacnelled if theyread this !

[kieran55555]

So let me get this straight - he logged onto facebook with your account and password, posted on the offical Glastonbury page that you had 26 tickets and was going to bung 6 of them on ebay, and then logged off again?

Hmmm

Something doesn't quite add up with what you are telling us

Ah well, perhaps you'll be able to get one if anymore go back onsale. At least your other friend got his ticket reinstated as I would have been majorly pissed off if I was him and had done nothing wrong

[Digi]

my friend doesnt have facebook, and he was on my account talking to my friends who were getting each other tickets

[kieran55555]

Well, if it happened exactly as you claim it happened, your friend is a knob, and I really hope you get your ticket reinstated

[kieran55555]

So your friend doesn't have Facebook, but still managed to navigate his way around Facebook - whilst talking to other friends via the extremely unreliable chat function - to find the official Glastonbury page and post a pretty feeble joke which means your ticket has been cancelled?

Chances are your Registration is probably now showing as "in use" therefore if you intend to try and buy another ticket then you will need to re-register, if you can.

I think you should make your friend cancel his ticket as well for being a dumb ass

Oooooooooooooooh! Cynical! Kids these days are born knowing how to use facebook dont ya know?!

(I thought I would be very kind of give him the benefit of the doubt - but yeah, I pretty much thought something very similar)

[Langdale Wolf]

That sounds just just like section 23 ( of the Terms and Conditions of the ticket sales. Titled "When we can cancel your ticket".

It's just after "we have the right to cancel your ticket if you are a Kasabian fan"

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Let me guess.... let me guess... and right before "we have the right to cancel your ticket if you are a Dr Who fan"?

[Detective McNulty]

Can't believe anyone is buying a word of what this kieran clown is saying. Not a word if it is true.

[Langdale Wolf]

Hey I'm trying top be nice to you, and I have provided constructive criticism in the Dr Who thread..

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Love you really. x

Apologies in advance but hahahaha, I think people need to be really careful on facebook, it is a seriously dangerous social networking site as anyone can see anyones comments/profile etc.

Even if you set it to private, i'm sure if you read into the small print of terms and conditions, there is somewhere where it advises that it can allow private profiles to be viewed by companies (this is a way of making money surely - with companies paying big bucks to be able to have open access to all profiles).

This is purely my opinion but I reckon it happens. One of my friends got rejected from a job application because their facebook profile and pictures did not fit in with the 'ethos' of the company they were applying for.
