greenee Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I realise i'm probably being really dim here,but i always thought Michael Eavis had a licence for 180,000 people so how come only 135,000 tickets were sold on sunday?Are the other 45,000 allocated to employees,acts and others or will there be another 45,000 on sale in the spring along with the returns?bit desperate here as,like many others,didn't manage to get tickets and this would fill me with some renewed hope!

possum Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Sorry to disappoint you, but the 177,500 total is made up of the others that you listed: staff on all the stalls, crew, volunteers, etc. There will be a chance to apply for return in the future, so keep an eye on the press.

GlastoEls Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Neil / eFestivals confirmed that on Sunday. Approximate figures, but the licence is for 177,000 on site, of which 137,000 are paying customers. All these sold on Sunday. The remainder are acts, staff, vendors, kids etc. Any balances which arent paid up in April - plus any failed or duplicates transactions - are resold in April / May.

incident Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 The other tickets are for performers / staff / traders / media / some others. Basically everything that doesn't go on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackmypie Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 No it's actually because there's a resale in april with 10,000 more tickets plus the refunded tickets. Plus all the staff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toooldtoknowbetter Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Don't forget the 150 drivers and 6000 maintenance staff who work on the monorail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G1T Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) As I understand it: There's a holdback for locals Sunday tickets, and locals full weekend tickets. The unsold ones then go back into the later resale. If it's those you're talking about, it's not quite the same as a holdback for general sale - i.e. the numbers that come into play are reduced. Probably massively. Possibly totally, at a stretch. Edited October 5, 2010 by G1T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo999 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Also don't forget the annual allocation of free 'hospitality passes' that help to keep the London based media w*nkers corralled 'backstage' for the weekend and away from regular festival goers. Seriously, for the sake of a thousand or so tickets, it makes the festival so much more pleasant for the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
