F the second fucking year in a row I got to the payment page only to be greeted by the sold out screen when I proceeded. Even ticketmaster holds the tickets for a few minutes until you have chance to I put your details. Not happy at all after missing last year.

got mine, but what is shit is that we were repeatedly entering people who were registered, and it wouldn't let us continue with the ones that weren't. had 2 people through at 20 past but because of this a couple of our group have missed out

25 minutes is nuts. Its starting to feel a lot like a raffle.

Managed to get my tickets on Wednesday, so I shouldn't complain - but couldn't get through at all this morning for two groups of mates (and neither could they), so a bit sad at that. But what can you do...

Not if the driver crashes due to no adequate rest break.

Then employ a driver that hasn't been working since the very very early hours? This was a bus that left London at 6am. I'd hate to think what his previous journey. Not to mention that if you advertise a journey as taking 3hrs 30, adding an extra hour to that purely because you can't manage staff properly is a bit poor.

Turns out more of my friends got tickets than I thought this morning, which has made me a little less sad about those that have to rely on the resale or working in some capacity (again!) - but still it is sad - and I'm still not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be doing with the rest of my Sunday morning.

Tis the standard of journalism.

"Viagogo, the world's largest ticket marketplace, reported that the limited resale has put many fans off, with 50 per cent of 18-24-year-olds not prepared to take the risk on this year's festival."

Firstly, fuck you Viagogo. Secondly, 'tickets sold out in record time. Fans were put off so didn't take the risk', eh? Can someone work that one out?

Bloody hell. I thought you were one of the cursed. :-)

How about you chief?

Yep :) We had all sorts of luck this morning. Crazy stuff. 30 tickets in all in the bag. Last group sorted at 9.25! Squeezed in..............

Fair play to ya this year, as I say what ya went through last year sucked a lot for a long time....

Great work! I'll see you for a beer in June so!

Such tosh

"There has been some controversy over restrictions on ticket resales, meaning that if fans aren't enamoured by the headliner or can't make the event, even giving their ticket away is not an option."

But returning your ticket for an almost complete refund is an option not worth mentioning eh?

This a hundred times. If some are already booked it should let you continue with the people who aren't, but it makes you go back and remove those people manually which is how I missed out.

Some of these articles today have seemed very angled to imply glasto tickets should be freely trade-able on site such as.... say Viagogo

*spits*

it's bollocks. fed into the system by their press officers to try and swell public enthusiasm for the idea and pressurise glasto/etc.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
