Question about when tickets will come?

[Jacklw25]

Ordered weekend and early entry tickets back in December. This is my first festival and I was just wondering when they would probably be delivered. I know the site says a week before the event, but I know some people online have already received there's...

Yup they all come around the same time, anything between 1-2 weeks before the festival. Saying that, one year I did get my Reading tickets on the tuesaday of the week of the festival.

They should come a week or so before the festival (unless you order from SeeTickets, in which case they might not come at all).

I got mine from SeeTickets last year and they came about a fortnight beforehand.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

I got mine from SeeTickets and they arrived on... Monday, I think. Panicked quite a lot but they arrived in time. Even if they don't, just take the receipt of your confirmation and they'll have your name down.

I've had them arrive on the Friday, as in the first day of the festival. That was a few years ago now though, but there's always that chance with how late they send them these days.

Ahh right thanks guys. It's just a few people on some forums have claimed to already have them.

I'd be surprised to be honest, but it's not totally out of the realm of possibility. Seeing as I ordered mine back in August, I still don't expect to have them until around a month before.

1-2 weeks before.

Never had a problem with see tickets personally, they were quite helpful with my inquirys last year infact.

If they've already got a ticket (and they dont just mean they've ordered them) then I imagine they've been scammed and have what is, to all intents and purposes, a piece of paper.

[bennyk]

as above, you won't get them until a few weeks before the fest. saying that, last year, i got mine from seetickets on the Wednesday, and went to the festival on the thursday morning!

All tickets are sent out 1-2 weeks before the event (apparently), if you ordered in either of the pre-sales you won't get it before those who buy them tonight. Last year see tickets were atrocious, mine got delivered on the Wednesday but there were people who were told that theirs wouldn't be delivered in time so they'd have to go and pick them up from the Hexagon, even after having to pay postage costs. Shocking.

[brain yolk!]

Yep ^

We'd all booked travel for around 10am on the Wednesday last year - I had to pick up my tickets (VERY) early Wednesday morning from the postage centre before they could attempt to deliver it...

For about a week beforehand Seetickets kept promising "they'll come tomorrow morning", obviously they never did.

If I hadn't gone to pick them up I definitely would've missed my coach.

All of this = Not using Seetickets this year

[Englishdragon]

Ive used seetickets every year and Ive not had a problem with them at all. Latest they have come was the Monday before the festival and the earliest was the last week in July

Also last year I got my ticket last 2 weeks in July and it came before most of my friends got theirs.
