Balance - same card or not?

?????

they don't care as long as it gets paid somehow, is easy as.

Yup, when I've got through and paid for deposits, the balance has been paid by the ticket holders on their cards with no problem.

This! Also you can pay separately but obviously you will get charged separate postage doing it that way. Silly really as they go to so much effort with registrations etc but then when it comes to paying you can do it with anyone's cards :s

Friend of mine last year couldn't come in the end. I had paid the deposit but a different friend who used his ticket (and got in) paid using his card and got it delivered to his address.

We wasn't supposed to be able to pay with a credit card, I found out this after using my credit card to buy the coach package for this year, was worried I would get an email saying there had been a mistake but the money went out and I got the confirmation, do you think I will be able to pay the balance with the same card?

[frostypaw]

you could buy coach tickets with a credit card i think.

yes, i reckon so. pretty sure they accept credit cards for balance payments but can't find owt specific on it. i think the debit card thing is just because that system is way quicker

[stuwilky]

They publish that the balance must be paid by debit card - one or two people did say they managed to pay with a credit card last year but I dont have any specifics.

I don't think the festival has ever officially said why they only take debit card - Id imagine it is to do with processing charges - they are lots higher for credit cards!

I paid the desposit on 4 tickets in October. Two of us are based in Glasgow and two in Bournemouth but we are all leaving from Bournemouth so ideally we would like the tickets delivered there. However on the website it states:

If you ordered more than one ticket, your tickets will be dispatched to the address you provided for the first name on your booking. If you paid your balances separately, you will each receive your own ticket.

I assume this means that as I am the lead booker and my registered address is Glasgow then they will be delivered here regardless of who pays the balance. Has anyone been in a similar situation that confirm that this is the case?

Nope, they will be delivered to you only if you pay the balances. Get one of the Bournemouth two to pay the balances and they will then be delivered to them.

That's how I interpret it anyway.

The lead Booker is classed as the person who pays the balances and not the deposits, so yes, do as smash suggested. Alternatively do two transactions and get yours delivered to Glasgow and theirs to Bournemouth. Of course you pay for two lots of postage then.

Thanks, I'll get one of the Bournemouth two to pay the balance as it saves me having to take the ticket with me down there.

Thanks but ideally I want all 4 tickets to get delivered to Bournemouth as we are getting the bus from there.

[frostypaw]

Then get your friends to send whoever lives in Bournemouth the money and get them to pay it all in one go, one load of post and packing

[cammie81]

Yep, will do. Thanks.
