libertine187 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi, Does anyone know the best way to go about obtaining hospitality tickets for this years event? The company I used to work for had a deal with Glastonbury so I could get them there however I can't get them now as I don't work there! I've seen a few external companies offering pckages but I don't know any are legit and also they charge wayyyyyy above last years £430 face value. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Called Matt Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 All tickets have to be sold on at face value (though some add VAT) any companies selling at a higher rate should be reported to GF who, so they say, will then take action. A place I know you can get them is Fly Glastonbury but I think you have to stay at their site which then incurs additional fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasto-worker Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Have no clue which year this was - sometime in the 90's I was working in the guest bar and there was two guys chatting to each other when a third walked up ' I met such and such - she does not have a pass to get her friends in ' - one of the guys produced a ' clear document wallet ' and there must have been at least 40 guest wrist bands ' and he handed it to his mate and he dug in. have no clue who he was or why he had so many some sites where they can be bought { with conditions } http://www.landnsky.co.uk/index.php?p=glastonbury&s=vip_access http://manorfarmglastonbury.co.uk/wp/accom2/ http://www.pennardhillfarm.co.uk/glastonbury.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year I was "that man" with everyones tickets for a day or so. Not dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libertine187 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks guys, so far I'm getting nothing from any of these resellers, they are all either sold out, or want in the regions of anything from £2,000 - £10,000 for accommodation, and THEN they will allow me to buy a hospitality ticket at face value... If anyone else knows any other official resellers or any other way to obtain them I'd massively appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexj Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Or you could join the resale in April for a fraction of the cost and fewer w@nkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone else knows any other official resellers or any other way to obtain them I'd massively appreciate it! I think this is the point. You wont be able to just buy a hospitality ticket unless you happen to be connected to, or doing business with, a company that has some available to sell. The alternate accommodation sellers get an allocation to sell, but it's on the basis they are sold to their guests only and at face value.

You also, I think, have to be signed up for a yearly fee using their "concierge services" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I tried to get a couple of hospitality tickets last year from the guy who runs Glastonbury's ticketing - someone who I know fairly well from my contact with Glasto over the years.He wouldn't even say 'no' to me about it; he didn't even acknowledge that I'd asked.Good luck with trying to get hospitality tickets if you're not one of those who might legitimately 'quality' for them.

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I was offered hospitality tickets many moons ago by someoen who worked for a record lable, she basically said that 6 tickets hadn't been taken up by senior managers and offered them to the next level of staff down to purchase - me and a mate waited a day before deciding to do it but by then they had been sold on.

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 A mate of mine got two free hospitality tickets one year from someone who had a contract with GFL. He tried again the next year but the bloke said he couldn't provide them anymore. I think that translates as ' I now realise the value of these tickets and no I'm not giving you another two free ones'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libertine187 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Guys I'm going to bump this again! Has anyone found any luck with hospitality tickets this year outside of ridiculously expensive accommodation packages yet? What's even more gutting is the fact that I applied directly through the website for tickets and got rejected, only for a handful of my friends to be accepted! I'd be happy to pay over the odds for a ticket or a small amount for some sort of accommodation but these £4k upwards packages are just insane! If anyone knows any possible way or place please do get in touch, even PM me if you would like to. I'm completely at a loss here! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I was hoping to blag some hospitality passes this year, I know someone who is on the Foo Fighters' staff and was hopeful to get a pass from him. Sadly the Foos aren't taking their crew as they're helicoptering in, playing, then straight back out so even he can't get a pass, yet alone me. Pleb class is better anyway.

random_man Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 With Hospitality tickets do you have to buy a campervan ticket or is there a separate campvervan section/option for Hospitality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexydexy Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 why not try for tickets in the resale? registration is still open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayoung77 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I am desperate for just one hospitality ticket if anyone has any going spare - I got allocated two this year but applied for many more than that as I am genuine industry (I'm a festival organiser and we all use Glasto to network with agents). As it stands one member of our team can't get in at all (some of us were lucky enough to get standard tickets). The future of another festival depends on it!! Thanks.
