Unfortunately the number of our family and friends is not perfectly divisible by 6, so we played the odds and failed. Doh!

How could you have done this if the number of family and friends is not perfectly divisible by six? You said in the first post that every one got tickets except the bride to be. You ask us to believe that ALL your family and friends tried for tickets and not one of them noticed your failure to include yourself on any list? You also ask us to accept that All your family and friends got tickets? Unless you have a very small family and an even smaller circle of friends then that's wildly beyond any odds the lottery would give you for winning the jackpot. And I mean wildly beyond.

Which leaves me wondering why you haven't come on here and honestly asked for help? Low post count concerns? You could have overcome this by regularly posting from now until next April and then asking for help. I'm curious as to why you chose deceit as the road to go down?

Yog dude, why are you bothering to exert so much energy and time on a bullshit thread. Step away and go and have a cuppa of whatever makes you feel better.

Hello H.M.V. :)

A succession of people have come to our house over the last four days / nights so I've been on a little bit of a bender. Tonight there are more people downstairs partying. I came upstairs to go on efests because I'm a little people'd out now. Having little else to do I looked at this thread again and thought I'd just post on here for something to do, as it's currently better than being downstairs. Ideally I should go to bed but have taken a little something that will not allow sleep to happen for some time.

I am also genuinely curious why someone would chose to go to such lengths as the OP's first post in order to gain a benefit. I doubt if they'll respond to my request on this though, so maybe it was futile of me to bother posting further.

Trolls tend to be emotional vampires or just want to see things kick off. Feeding them is the worst thing you can do. Its a kick from either an emotional outpouring of support (in this instance but not very successful) or by watching a thread go up in flames.

It hadn't occurred to me that they were trolling. I had taken the stance that they posted in order to get a load of efesters to help them get the one ticket the person or group needs. To me it seems that the person(s) behind the OP decided to create a scenario in order to do this rather than just ask honestly. If this is the case, then I just think it would be interesting to know the driving force(s) behind it. I might be wrong though.

Glastonbury Festival, how great thou art.

I am writing to you in the faint hope you can offer a solution to my T-Rex size conundrum.

Jackie (my fiancé) and I are planning to have our honeymoon at Glastonbury 2015 with a group of our nearest and dearest family and friends that are gathering from across the seven seas; on Sunday bloody Sunday we all managed to get tickets except the bride to be! As you can imagine she had a primal scream and now she is simply red with disappointment, in a blur of sadness. It has made me feel like smashing pumpkins to a pulp.

Jackie has been the driving force behind this honeymoon oasis, the wonderful mother of my daughter, she is a Northern blondie who now lives in Australia with me. As a passionate lover of Glastonbury, the prodigy of festivals, she has arranged the wedding in Europe, in June, specifically to allow us to honeymoon at Glastonbury. In her typically kind hearted manner, always considering the group over herself, whilst organising the web of bookers she did not align herself to any specific group of six, and thus everyone got a ticket except for her. The irony stings like a massive attack from a band of gorillaz, as I’m sure U2 can imagine.

Jackie has often mused that Glastonbury is a test of one’s strength of will, from the scramble for tickets, through to the bus ride home, a myriad of challenges, with the madness of the weather report and the killer traffic; but the sheer unadulterated joy that the week brings is second to none. Cold play in the mud, listening to the finest tunes that make you dance like a little dragon with psychedelic fur at the apex of the pyramid of life, to the point where you feel like you have a radio head! Glastonbury 2015 is shaping to be the most trying yet, and thus (we pray) the best yet. I sense Glastonbury 2015 is forming as a metaphor of our future marriage, my ability to be the rock in the roll of that new order is being tested today.

I do hope that the wondrous rolling stone that is Glastonbury Festival can somehow swing the pendulum of life in the favour of the special kind hearted pixie that is my wonderful wife to be.

Please, please, please, help us rise from the ash, show me the cure and we can all have a happy Monday!

With great respect,

Josh

    • My wife works for a music company, they have an allocation already.  They run a ballot for it early next year. 
    • This is my guess too.    2028 festival breaks the £400 barrier. 
    • Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it. 
    • Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.
