Our Eavii's who art in Pilton,

Hallowed be your festival.

Your music come,

...Your dance be done,

In fields, as it is in dance tents,

Give us today our glastonbury ticket,

Forgive us our internet connection,

As we forgive See Tickets who throttled our servers,

Lead us not into disappointment,

But deliver our confirmation email,

For the stella, the Brothers, and the good tunes are yours.

Today please if possible,

(B)A®men

:)

I guess this is only meant for fun? If so there is no need to talk about false Gods or idolatry, monotheism is the way.

We can let this one go.

How do you know which are the false gods and which are the real? Or even that there's any at all?

The chances are even on either of you being right, you both being right, or you both being wrong.

But do enjoy your delusion, I wouldn't want it any other way. :lol:

I'm still clinging to the theory that See Tickets would have agreed to sell X amount of ticket deposits by X date, thus generating X amount of revenue ( minus sees cut/taxes etc) that the festival requires to start covering costs- and that within this agreement X amount of money has to be paid by a certain date, therefore See would want to sell the duplicates/unpaid asap?

I'm no major businessperson but I would've thought that if I had an agreement in place to pay another person £4mill by the end of oct (figure just an example) but the product that I'd sold had only raised £3mill so far, that I'd want to sell any remainder of that product I had asap to generate revenue for the shortfall. It doesn't seem to benefit see or glasto to hold on til April for those duplicate/unpaid they have at the moment

While See might hand over some money to Glasto before the fest (I'm not sure what the actual situation is with this for Glasto), it's pretty unlikely that they'd hand over everything. The standard way that ticket agents work is that they hold all of the money from tickets they've sold until after the event has happened - because as the seller, it's their responsibility to give refunds in the case of the event not going ahead.

Yeah, I get that, but surely as a business it is more beneficial to them(ie interest etc) to sell the product that they have rather than having it 'sitting on a shelf' so to speak, plus in the event of cancellation surely they would have some kind of liability insurance structure in place?

Interest? :lol::lol:

I guess you've not noticed that banks are barely paying any right now. I've had £10k+ sat in the company bank account for the last 6 months, and not seen a single penny in interest.

BTW ... just cos it's not happened yet doesn't mean that there's not going to be a 'secret' resale shortly after the main sale this time around.

Hang in there, I remain confident that something is still likely to happen. :)

Clearly the sneaky re-sale is the only fair way to go.

Those who are desperate (i.e. me) are still checking the SeeTickets page a few times a day and hitting that refresh button. Mine and my mates registration numbers are still stuck to my work pc on a post-it.

It has to happen!

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
