Yeah, I really hope I don't have to resort to the "sneak in". I think I was jammy getting away with it twice. Plus I'm older now and not as care free. However, if there is a need to do this, all you need is a good friend to fake an asthma attack and "accidentally" become in the possession of two pass outs.. plus a wrist band they had wriggled off someones wrist and a ticket with a ladies face on. Bingo

That's nearly a great plan. Close but no twix.

 

Probably wouldn't have posted it on here though.

Yeah - why would that many people cancel? If they knew they weren't going prior to the balance deadline they just wouldn't have paid their balance, and it would have gone into the main resale. It can only be people who in the meantime have had some issue arise such as a problem with their time off work, illness etc, which can't apply to that many people?

That is what I thought. What they did yesterday was similar to what happened before it last year. Perhaps they were getting it ready so they can push that big red button 

I would love it if they actually had a big red button!

[abiwish]

It's also people who bought one in the resale who refund them isn't it? There'd definitely be a few who bought one just giving it a shot and then couldn't get time off etc.

They stand around it in a dark room and say "it's time..." 

[Michaelgball]

I might apply for a job at seetickets just to see what actually goes on behind the scenes. I have this mad imagination but its probably very anti-climatic.

Plus anyone who bought some for friends in the mad rush of resale only to find out that the friends can't make it anymore.

I thought that, I tried in both the resale for coach and GA, if i'd got one in the coach sale i probably would have still gone for GA (with my 2nd reg number).Then cancelled my coach ticket (as i basically would have gone anywhere to get a ticket) and it would be cheaper to cancel my ticket and travel with friends if i got the GA.

Plus maybe also probably people who bought in the resale and who's transactions didn't go through...(is that still possible these days?)?

Definitely do! Please! I would if I wasn't in the family business. We need a mole

I tried to add some humour to this thread earlier as it is stressful waiting and someone gave me two downvotes (I had upvotes too). I have no idea why the person called sime did this but if I annoyed them I am sorry.

Just trying to relax the tension.

Have an upvote

The head office is (or is listed as) being in Nottingham-it's on the way o the city if you're walking from the university. Endlessly tempted to knock on the door and ask, politely, when they'll put us out of our misery.

It could well be an sql update.  It'd make sense with the weird "on sale 22nd June" messages etc.

[Anderson19]

I'd be very surprised if it reached the thousands id think closer to 500-600 back in the pot.

[Abijones]

I have just realised someone gave me 2 downvotes too in this thread yesterday, just for asking politely for a link? Made me a bit sad tbh as I'm new here and now my rep is horrible

Its going to be at 1pm I just know it!

[Peroni]

I think it's great there are newbies on the forum.  I think the unpredictabilty of the sale means that it will continue to be less of a rush than T-day or R-day  making it appear easier to get a ticket, no holding page hell etc.

 

What I don't like though is the lack of interaction beyond trying to get a ticket in the value this forum provides...but maybe that's the last thing on the mind for the ticket less...so hope people stick around!

I'm surprised at that to be honest as it is nice around here, but these things happen. Don't stress too much about rep   I would upvote you but I am all out today - hopefully someone else will do you the favour!

On a side note, I hope this resale business gets underway soon!

The hours are passing by quickly today

Lack of interaction seems like a bit of a piss take imo. Fair play to those who have got involved.

 

Interesting to see who is around post festival. Guess that will depend who gets tickets or not.

looks like your rep has shot up now :-)

[Michaelgball]

There is usually activity on my glastonbury homepage alert in the final hour before they make an announcement.. There hasnt been anything since the Block9 reveal so I dont think it will be 1oclock sadly.

Neither downvoters are regular posters on the forum, Abi. 

Even if they were, try not to worry about it. Some people are just mean or, at best, thoughtless. I often find myself poised to respond to what seem like ludicrous downvotes to posts, and then realise that there's really no point in fuelling these people's behaviour.

Anyway, you've been upvoted to a good rep by like-minded people on here - a.k.a. most of us!
