For all those without tickets:

[MamaJojo]

Great work...however is the christian god is real you might have harmed your chances

[eFestivals]

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.

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.

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.

[spikytom]

so surely that's even more incentive for see to have an early resale - if the money's going to be sitting in their bank account for ages surely they want as many deposits sitting there earning interest as possible...? (the greedy f***ers that they are!)

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?

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.

Keep the faith MamaJojo... I believe most people who want to get to Glasto badly enough usually do in the end... it's just a long blimmin' wait!

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!

Saying thrice at 8.45am, cross everything, it WILL happen!!!
