Today's feels quieter doesn't it - although at the same time yesterday we hadn't had much happenings.

Was that that was the year it didn't sell out so they sold some physical ones in shops?  I remember getting my friend to pick ours up from Wales where he was working

I think so.  I cant remember if mine had a photo on it.

People blame JayZ but i think it was the floods of previous years that did it.  We know now that people will go no matter what the lineup

Make the most of it, I'm actually getting work done and even enjoyed a cup of coffee AND a wee break!

Tipis and Campers where quite early yesterday, but yes this does seem a lot calmer..  dunno what to read into that!

Yesterday they were adding all the extras for sale (tipis, worthy view, caravans etc.), whereas now I guess they're just waiting for them to all sell out. Probably expecting a less noise on the site today (but they might just start messing with it anyway, who knows)

this time 20 years ago, I just sauntered down to HMV and bought my tix in a record shop

Liar.

There was no festival in 1996.

Our first year was 2011 and the same year we got to see our favourite band the gaslight anthem on the pyramid stage! Managed to get tickets in the normal sale every year since - this year not even a sniff so far. 

Not having a ticket is the worst feeling.

1996 was Knebworth instead.

God I feel old.

Yeah i'm wondering if theyre waiting for all the other stuff to sell out first

That's what I was thinking, as it presumably means less fuss for them. Hope not though, want it over and done with

That would be super annoying as I would love to surprise my boyfriend with a worthy view booking as well as tickets but if they're waiting for that then I've got no chance!

well, maybe the third worst feeling after stepping on a lego or an upturned plug

JUST SELL ME A TICKET ALREADY. I'm starting to feel mega stressed.

If I'm lucky enough to bag myself an elusive ticket, I suspect I'll be whooping with joy in my office.  I'm going to whip of my shoes and run barefoot through our grass (we don't have carpet - it's a faux grass floor) in preparation!

altho as someone else said yesterday it doesn't seem logical cos people who buy tickets on SR might want campers or WV

would happily step on both if it guaranteed me tickets

I doubt that's something they're waiting for, as such. Although it probably will, Worthy View might not even sell out, so we'd be waiting until next year's festival!

I think the more likely scenario is dotting the i's and crossing the t's on all refunds and then they'll go live. They clearly checked that the website structure was all good to go for coach and GA yesterday, so are likely tying up loose ends before pushing the button.

Of course, that takes us no closeer to knowing when said button will be pushed!

Is it worth sharing the links for worthy view/camper van on social media etc to encourage people to buy them and hurry it up? haha

I dont think that affects the actual festival ticket resale at all

They will want the resale done as quick as possible too.

Agreed.  Their concerns will be

• Are they ready, is it working
• is it calm enough out there to do it without causing mayhem
• Is it a good, fair time (i.e. not 3 in the morning)

I dont think they care what other tickets are on sale at that time

[gherring8]

All that is remaining on WV is the below. So hopefully not too much longer now.

wasn't sure (as people said above) if they may be waiting for those to sell out before releasing the tickets.
