The "there is no secret sale" is evidently untrue from previous years, but I have to say I'm not reasonably concerned that there may not be one this year, probably for the reasons they have stated in that email.

But werent those comments on secret resale from SEE and not Glastonbury in previous years. Anyone know if they upped the capacity of paying festival goers this year? With the addition of new areas and talk or lots more tickets wanted for staff maybe it has effected the secret resale?

Poster said they contacted SEE but the message was signed from Glastonbury festival. General consensus was to not believe SEE but how do people feel about glastonbury stating no resale?

if any tickets have been returned then these will mainly be general admission tickets, which deserve to go to the public. crew etc are allocated tickets which they pick up on site and get different wristbands. i think there will be a secret sale. and i think before they announce the full line-up around 31st may. i can't handle sitting here for another couple of weeks. my sis may have to miss out this year if thats the case! (sorry sis)

Except they would not say that to someone asking - imagine the anger if they said sorry no resale cos we gave em all to our mates.

True, still if they are lying about that bit......?

Try and make them aware that, based on the secret resales that have happened without fail for years, there are hundreds of people witing at their laptops to try and get tickets. They need to release a full statement admitting the previous years of resales happened, but won't be this year and a reason. If they do that from an official sourse (website, twitter, fb) then that's me out.

I think this is a great idea!

The message is the same every year - I don't see the point is in continually asking them. There might or might not be one, but they'll always say there won't be. 

Agreed there really is no point into keep on asking them.

If they said yes they would need to make it public and we do not want that.

It's not just Glastonbury. Most venues release extra tickets closer to the date, it's always down to the production numbers, guest list etc.

They may not have tickets today but they may in an hour, tomorrow, 3 weeks or never so the official word has to be no.

The thing is, they've never called it a "secret" resale. I've seen it referred to as a "flash" resale officially, but never a "secret".

 

So maybe they're just fucking with us over semantics.

Its just an unadvertised sale due to there being so few tickets to re-sell

Guys.........

[svphie]

Even if they officially announce no further sales, we still won't know for sure... its a secret for a reason. i don't see the point in constantly trying to get information out of them

No normally they say there are no planned resales but keep an eye on the website. They aren't saying that this time...

i was getting at them denying it then a resale happening. i guess it just depends what person you get for the excuse they give

Ah ok, im not too familiar with the workings of festivals. My assumption was they could do what they wanted with a few hundred tickets. I hope youre right!

I bet some of those 'Production tickets' were on Get Me In (other ticket re-sellers are available) for double the price

I have run out of upvotes but I love this hahahahha

If it wasn't happening they would say so on twitter, website etc.

The fact that they're not, and just repeating the same old mantra to individual enquirers means it's definitely ON.

Mark my words!

[tabasco]

Never stop believing

 

Apart from June 20th. Maybe stop believing then.

[beefykoala]

Maybe someone needs to email See Tickets the photo of Ron, it might be like a secret handshake that unlocks the time and date of the resale.

Bizarre reasoning. The website clearly states the festival is sold out. They've never announced anything saying 'there'll be as couple of tickets on sale sometime after the refund date'.

There's no rhyme or reason here. There might be more tickets, but there might not be.

The festival is limited by the total number on site and can flex punters/crew as it wishes. See cannot however - it would be Glastonbury festival's call and that is where this email came from. The horror! the horror!

PS I am still hitting f5

Well, that's not ambiguous at all.

If I'm honest thats probably enough for me. Been taking over my life for way too long. They have pretty clearly stated that it is not happening so thats enough for me.

[smudger]

Have to admit if it looks like a horse, smells like a horse and craps like a horse, its probably See messing with us.

[ticketboy69]

Keep with it. It will happen.

got to at least see the little bit of time left today mate,but enjoy the fresh air when you leave

[Slix_Trix]

I don't think they would make a public announcement to put us out of our misery. In doing so we will only come to expect that every year thus killing the element of surprise that they love to keep. It'll either happen or it won't but dont expect an official announcement to st us free. I am still optimistic for the resale though  

[Breeze]

Maybe this will result in them hurrying the hell up if they are going to do a 'small resale' at all.
