Won a ticket, please read.

honestly if it were me i'd be asking for face value - you won a competition which should've allowed you to go to Glastonbury for free, but you've already paid for your ticket and so are left with a spare. asking for a measly £50 is incredibly generous of you (not trying to get you to up the price - just saying that charlotte is in the wrong saying you should give it away for free. that's ridiculous)

You didn't actually pay for this ticket though, you got it for free in a competition. I just think it's a bit cheeky asking money for it, you're just selling it for your own gain. If you don't need/want the ticket then tell the Guardian that you don't want it and they'll contact someone else who has entered the competition.

Can't believe anyone's criticising someone for asking £50 for a ticket. If he was saying 'I've got a ticket going for £1000' then fair enough, that would be taking the piss, but the idea of giving this ticket to someone who, by virtue of following this forum, is clearly interested in going, for a low price, has got to show some character?

edit - pressed 'send' before I meant to! just to add, if I was still after a ticket, I'd bite NiallP10's hand off! Fair play to you, mate!

True i could do that, but then one of my best friends wouldn't be getting a ticket would he. I'm not doing this to come across as generous. I want my friend to go, but i need another taker for it to be allowed. By offering out at a straight 50 to the first poster means i know the ticket won't be wasted and i wont be tempted into auctioning it off.

I won 2 tickets to Reading once and sold them to mates for face value or maybe a little less, although they were only about £80 then. I already had mine.

However also at Reading, a mate found a ticket and gave it to a ticketless mate who was camping with us, this mate then sold the ticket. The mate that gave him the ticket surprisingly didn't appear to mind, it would of pissed me off majorly.

    • Primavera refunding day tickets which are probably a negligible percentage of attendees yesterday.
    • Thursday day tickets being refunded. Fair play.
    • I’ve had a good sleep and I feel weirdly zen about the whole thing.   My first Primavera, so not the greatest first impression. I guess today couldn’t be any worse, right?   Thoroughly enjoyed Men I Trust and Geese. Cupra is a beautiful stage and the crowd seemed fun, friendly and engaged.   I think it probably could have gone even worse, considering how dangerous the crowding felt at times.   Anyway, we go again.
    • Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . . 
    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.
