All Is Not Lost

[Neville Street]

You've reminded me about those bloody balloons, perhaps I will chuck my ticket back in the pot.

Or not!!!

[Rarity]

I love this post, it makes me feel emotional even though I got tickets.

Why? Because "There for the grace of God" and all that. I know how easy it could be for anyone of us to be in the position of missing out on Tday.

I really do feel for you and I hope that anyone on here who has missed out getting their ticket today is successful in the April resale.

Comrades, some of us have lost The Battle Of Ticket Day, but the war is not yet over.

Today we may be wounded, weary and woeful, but we still have much to fight on for. For now we must pick ourselves up and go about our daily lives as we have done before. The winter will bring with it the cold, and though this may be harder to bear in our current state, bear it we will, and break we will not. The months we must endure until our next opportunity will be long, but we will not squander this time, we will prepare ourselves, we will return with fire in our bellies.

Go back to your homes, go back to your jobs, for a while you must wait, but each day is another step along the road to our impending victory. The Somerset cider will taste twice as sweet the harder it is earned, and the hangovers that it brings will not phase us, for we will have known anguish, and we will have defeated anguish. We will see the sunrise over Worthy Farm once more, we will dine on the finest William's Green has to offer, we will dance in the Pyramid field, we will tut at children with those fucking balloons up the Stone Circle.

Our victory has not been today, brothers and sisters, but do not lose hope; our victory will be.

Thanks Getoffamylawn. I needed that. Like really needed it.

It does help to know other vets and efesters are in the same boat. I still feel sick whenever I think about it though.

But I am not giving up.

It's shit that you didn't get one, you've been on here all though the big long summer. I do genuinely believe we'll enjoy it more after getting tickets in the resale, having endured a few months of feeling a bit shit. It'll feel great when we have our patience and faith rewarded!

I know, I feel the same about you. I just really love the festival - it's genuinely one of the highlights of my year.

We will get there. And you're right - I'll appreciate it all the more.

Keep the faith. In a non Bon Jovi way.

No Fail in Re-sale No F***ing Compromise.

I like to think that for every one of us veterans who didn't get their annual ticket, someone else instead will be going for the first time, experiencing Glasto for themselves and calling themselves a Glasto-goer. There's something heartwarming about that. We're giving our lives so that they may live, so to speak.

Still trying in the resale though, obviously

Am I a bad person because this doesn't make me feel better?

I agree that new blood is needed, although I'm still newish myself at only five years down.

I hope a lot of the moaning minnies reconsider and give up their tickets because it's not as good as it used to be!

Edit to say: in their words, not mine!

This is the best post I have seen today, remain positive people and in the resale hit F5 for all it's worth and ignore the holding page. Your Glastonbury needs you!

I missed out and am genuinely gutted, but the headline post on this made me chuckle and feel a bit better.

I'm wondering about the 'hit the F5 button and ignore the holding page'

What does this mean - we were stuck on the holding page, how do you bypass it?

[mrtourette]

Also it'll be all over the fucking telly anyway.

The holding page refreshes every 20 seconds, by hitting F5 (assuming you are on a Windows based PC) you refresh your self when you see the page has loaded and you are not on the ticket screen. Increases your chances of getting through

Nah there to be the 9am Holding page coming up for a lot of people!

We must have bypassed that then

just thought i'd bump this for the opening post.

happy new year everyone and good luck with the re-sale.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yep, good luck everyone. Especially me!

Only three and a bit months until resale day now I guess... Must get my F5 finger in training.

Your first post on this thread still my all-time favourite, GETOFFAMYLAWN. Great work.

[Guest]

Well, one does one's best in service of a greater cause. NFiR NFC

[Guest]

OY!

I'm bumping this thread because I hereby ban all long faces this morning. I've missed out on the main sale again, like last year, and I'm going to Glastonbury again, like last year.

Enjoy your Sunday, everybody. We'll all be here again in April, then we'll all be on the farm in June.

[Spindles]

Best attitude

[GlastoAwe]

Great post! Missed out this year too but accept that it wasn't meant to be this time
