Rose-Colored Boy Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Or maybe they're just releasing extra tickets over time? Particularly with the promises of an announcement of some form at some point in the very near future, it'd be no surprise if they were being careful to make sure there are tickets on sale when that announcement happens.

Andy0808 v3.0 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 From the years 2008-2011, i'm pretty sure once tickets sold out (within hours) they only went back on sale once in May. If you're festival is selling tickets you don't hold them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5co77ie Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Ahh right, was that on all sites or just a couple? Edited May 15, 2013 by 5co77ie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5co77ie Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 True, maybe they just did that to get sales but it didn't work. How long before they say sold out then have a 'limited resale' of tickets to increase sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.k Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 they released a statement hours after they had gone on sale to say they had sold out - they hadn't In 2012 they said they had sold out hours after going on sale, I emailed them to say they were still on sale at See - and within hours they had sold out, only to go back on sale in April. In 2011 they sold out in 3 hours, V said it was almost straight away, so they were close. In 2010 they put them on sale, said they had sold out, and then 5 days later put them on sale again and they sold out in a few days after that There were all after early bird ticket sales made in the preceding year.

sisco Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Com Truise The reason I said it is much like Andys comment explained. You stated about people's music tastes being narrow minded and then pointed out u would prefer to go to Reading with more acts u like (which is completly fair enough, rather than a place like Glastonbury with a lot more variety on offer. Just personally thought it was contradictory that's all. Nothing wrong with it at all by the way, if somewhere suits ur tastes better then obv go there.

5co77ie Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks for that, when do you think they will actually sell out. And is there any way of V stopping tickets being used if they are bought on eBay? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Truise Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I don't know possibly after this next announcement tomorrow - although I'm not sure it has an act heavy enough to do that. As for eBay or viagogo I don't know they'll try anything to stop the secondary market anytime soon - damn tout scum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel.k Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 What time is the announcement due tomorrow? Any other names that are highly likely? I saw on V site or Facebook site they would reject or cancel tickets sold on eBay or other secondary sites. I don't know how they would do that unless it was coach tickets where proof needs to be shown to get the tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Truise Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 The last announcement said they were going to announce early this week when they were rescheduling the actual announcement for...... Vception Anyway they haven't even made an announcement about the announcement this week, it's all turning into one massive cock up isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisco Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah I get what you mean, of course Glasto has a much wider variety because it has more stages, but bar the top 5 or so stages, I doubt I'll have listened to any of the other acts, it's not that I don't like them, it's just I don't know them, and at the moment I just want to go to a fest with my mates where there's music we love. When/if I do ever decide to go to Glasto, I'd go for everything else and not just the music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose-Colored Boy Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I think it's fairly obvious that the original plan was to announce the rest of the bulk of the line-up on the '100 Days To Go' day. It's hard to know what the next milestone to look out for would be if they're going down that route? The site opens for campers three months from tomorrow, maybe.
