"Don't want to profit too much".

WTF ?

"Twice face value is more than enough and not too greedy"

Are they actually being serious?!

Scumbags. Would be nice if the fest found out who the tickets belonged to and never issued them to them again in future.

So what, they have something to sell that someone wants, dont why people get so up their arses about it

[AiiShotTheDJ]

Do they have to pay for locals tickets? The twice the face value thing and not profiteering too much is slightly annoying and greedy.

[sinhala]

Well I read it that it's £400 for 2 tickets - that's reasonable and fair.

They are perks of living near the site - sweeteners if you like.

So if they don't want to attend why should they not cash them in (for face value of course).

[Glastonlocal]

they'll have been given them for free. They really shouldn't be selling them. There used to be the option of taking cash instead of a ticket, but I don't think they offer that any longer.

Off to collect mine this afternoon.

[dub-tech]

Total attention whores. Whatever happened to discretion?

[Thearg]

Some of the villagers see the festival as a pain,the noise, traffic etc so if they can sell them on and spend the money on a week away than fair play to them.

Its not everyones cup of tea.

they have made a right fist of this

I am sure they could have done it by word of mouth and not attracted so much attention

As Pilton residents we have 3 options:

1) have the free ticket

2) take £200

3) give the ticket to someone we nominate

I'm toddling off to get mine now

I can see it both ways, its wrong they are selling it on for profit, but at the same time the festival probably throws up a lot of issues that impact on their daily lives.

£50 grand ?? Them PayPal fees are going to hurt :-) why didn't he put it on a buy it now to stop the spoof bids ?

[deebeedoobee]

Are the tickets for the whole weekend?

[deebeedoobee]

So they could have had the money to start with :S

[monkey1989]

I don't think it's that big a deal certainly calling them scumbags is ridiculous
