This is getting ridiculous!

***Disclaimer- I am in no way saying this is true in anyway as i have no way of knowing how acurate this is****

I dont know if this is right or wrong but it gave my hope databank a extra lift.

Yesterday i was randomly reading through the facebook war that is going on & one of the comments jumped out at me.

It said "I have just had a contact from See tickets warning me that they they reserve the right to cancel ticket orders that exceeded the 8 ticket maximum order on any card that was placed on sunday 1st October 2010 "

The woman who posted this admitted she had made three seperate orders for 8x tickets & was paniking that she was about to loose the whole 24x Tickets placed.

I felt bad for her initially but also thought people may be interested to know.

"I have just had a contact from See tickets warning me that they they reserve the right to cancel ticket orders that exceeded the 8 ticket maximum order on any card that was placed on sunday 1st October 2010"

This could have ramifications for all of us - ticketed or ticketless this year - so is worth confirming somehow. What's your understanding Neil?

As far as I can see on the Glasto T&C's and SeeTickets T&C's, no where did it state 8 ticket maximum order on any card. All it stated was 8 tickets per transaction, and no mention of how many transactions limit there was.

*Edit*

Apparently it was 8 per card, any I booked for people were on different cards thankfully

My understanding is that there was no such condition of purchase. My guess is that the quote is bollox.

My guess is that the quote is bollox, by some saddo who is wanting to put the shits up buyers.

There's no need to have a condition like that, because everyone knows that the picture on a ticket has to match a face - so someone could (in theory, anyway) buy a million tickets but still not tout them. So it makes not a jot of difference whether those million tickets were bought on one card or a million different ones.

I think we are kidding ourselves if we think Seetickets are going to do anything about people exceeding the per household/card T&C. They reserve the right, not plan in all cases to execute the right to cancel orders. They have provisionally sold all the tickets, there is lots of money in the bank. That is what they are paid to do. Why on earth would they decide to cut their profit margin by cancelling orders and potentially having to redo work already done?

It doesn't matter what is fair and unfair in anyones opinion, what matters to a business is profit. Full Stop.

I won't be pinning any big hopes on cancelled tickets becoming available due to over ordering. I just hope a lot of folk will decide come payday they don't want to go, don't like the line up or can't really afford it and just put down the deposit safe in the knowledge they would only lose a tenner and suchlike.

The line up really doesnt matter to me.

Plus the date on the quote is wrong, which makes it even more likely to be bollox

Most likley is bollox but gave my hope account a little boost.....& i thought i'd pass it on.

Neil I am dreaming seeing this on the SeeTickets website then

"If a customer orders more tickets than the maximum allowed, as indicated during the booking process, we reserve the right to cancel the order. The maximum applies per person/card/household."

Do you have a working link for that?

General T&C's, not specific to Glastonbury.

It doesn't mention that you can or can't on the Glastonbury website so not part of their T&C's I'd assume.

Care to show me where it says what the maximum number of tickets allowed to be bought on one card is? There's nothing which sets a number.

That's a standard t&c I think, which applies to all of See's ticket sales, and is applied as necessary against touts. As it's not possible to tout Glasto tickets, they've no need to apply that condition to Glastonbury sales.

But, just to be sure, I'll fire off a mail in a sec to the bossman at See and see what he says.

I'm 99.999999999999999% sure it's not a condition that applies to Glasto.

No mate thats me being dumb when writing out the quote from memory.

OOps i feel like i've caused crap now....gulp.

It wa one of them bit's of info where you dont allow yourself to believe but you get a little excited about anyway.....if you know what i mean.

Part of me thinks if thats the rules then thats the rules but the other part of me is gutted for the people who would have ticket purchases cancelled because of a T & C.

double edge sword i suppose.

lol yeh in our livingroom you could have cut the atmosphere with a knife.

I admit i cried a bit ........ :angry:

[eFestivals]

heard back from See, and been referred to the man at Glasto. Am waiting to hear back from him (couldn't get thru on the phone)

However, if See were implementing that condition then I'm sure he'd have said they were - so I remain confident that it's not a condition that applies.

One year, despite being in the UK, I managed to book a ticket on the overseas booking line with a credit card.

It didn't get cancelled. It's not in their interests.

I think you'll be alright.

[eFestivals]

Like I said even if it did they wouldn't apply it. I didn't get a ticket but I'd be proper gutted if I'd booked and thought things were sorted then got done over by an obscure T&C which like you said wouldn't really be relevant to Glasto tickets due to the nature of the registration system etc.

it's a t&c that they can't apply even if they wanted to now as far as I can work out - after all, there was nothing which said "a person/card/address can only buy X number of tickets".

All that was stated was that purchasers were limited to 8 tickets per transaction. And given that it allowed a person to make a further transaction with a link at the bottom of the page, they were encouraging further transactions.

I just can't see how it could apply.

Anyway, will defo hear back from the man at Glasto at some point, tho it might well be a while before I do. As far as I'm aware he's not stuck in front of a computer most of the time as the man at See is.

So really the 8x Ticket thing is not enforcable in any way. I wonder why they say it when they cannot enforce it ?

By the way i am not trying to be argumentative i just dont understand
