Won a ticket, please read.

[Becoming a veteran]

What a f%cking idiot,why did he go in the first place,to go camping for the weekend.

And yeah I would of taken the money off him.

[Thearg]

To be fair he was skint but didn't want to miss out and it would still be a good time even without seeing bands. It was also in the days of plastic wristbands which were quite easy to take on and off to get others into the arena.

I also think you should give the ticket for free, though (assuming this is all above board) it's up to the two of you in the end. I'd expect a pint or two on site, nothing else.

[StephenMinty]

Selling it cheap is a fine compromise between being generous and asking for what you deserve.

I'd entered a few competitions before getting through in the resale. If any of them turn out to be winners, I'd probably sell the ticket at full price, as I know that anyone on here who doesn't have a ticket would be chomping at the bit to get a face value ticket now (and probably was during the original sale). As Bathimp said, I'd give the money to Oxfam/WaterAid/Greenpeace. What could be more in the spirit of Glastonbury than that?

I don't understand how people can say it's ridiculous that he's asking for over £150 less than what the ticket is worth? I'd be charging a lot more if i had won it.

[bigbilly]

You should have doubled the face value :-)

[random_man]

I'd say sell it for 2x/3x the face value and put all the money you get for it behind the bar at the cider bus!

That'll make a lot of random people happy as they go to grab a drink, it will make you happy as you did a good thing, and it'll make some rich person without a ticket happy as they'll get to go to the festival

this is really nice offering a fellow efester the chance to go, and 50 quid is really generous. Good karma in the pot for you . Have a brilliant festival.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I have to agree. I think it's a really generous offer, especially as you could have recouped the cost of your ticket.

Nice thing to do

[formed a band]

Keep the free one and sell te one you bought for face value to a sanctimonious dick head

[Somersetsun]

thread of awesome.

[AiiShotTheDJ]

'cause it's a competition ticket that was free?

If both parties are happy with the agreement then that's all that matters in this situation. On the more general issue of selling tickets on at a profit, it's not something that I'm happy with or would participate in

[Guest]

Niall's doing a really nice thing, good on him, ignore the busybodies on their high horses.

[storm]

Very nice of you to do this.

I entered every competition going before I got my ticket and tbh I assumed that because names and postcodes were reference number linked if you bought a ticket and then won you wouldn't be eligible and they would draw again as it were.

Obviously it doesn't work that way, though how the system allows 2 tickets to be issued to one person I don't know.

This could mean good news for someone here though because if I win one (unlikely but you never know) I'll be doing something similar.

This is why i have told badger80 to not get his hopes up, because they could very well still reject the different emails.

[whatmidlifecrisis?]

What a decent and generous thing to do OP. The fact you have offered to an efester (who would love it) above mates (who are less bothered) speaks volumes of your character! I hope it all works out for you and Badger. Keep us informed....If they refuse - hey, they will just redraw and another lucky person gets a golden ticket.

[Trebor]

Ignore all the sanctimonious people, I'd be charging face value!

[whateverman]

Fair enough but i'm also being given advice from others (not on here) to do the exact opposite.

[giantkatestacks]

I thought most tickets won this way were handed out at the hospitality box and not sent out like normal ones to prevent this sort of thing happening. If they are sent out the you can obviously do what you like with them.

[HuggyHare]

That's a very Glasto thing to do mate. Good on you! One question, won't the ticket have your face on it?

[NiallP10]

No they you don't put the registration number, just ask for name and address.
