Breaking news...

Woman on plane says 'No Secret Sale'

Airplane.. My fave film!!

 

one thing that worries me (apart from my fridge being devoid of beer currently) is the fact I have had no pings from Neil's pagechecker. I've checked to make sure it works and it does. Small worry....

Stay away from wenceslas square unless you want hookers or blow, stick to where the locals drink. Cheaper and better beer. Dlouha street is quite good with a few decent bars.

I was being positive!  

Yeah, you were! I just caught myself using the words 'giving up', which shouldn't be used in this thread at all!

[MilkyJoe]

Anyhoo, something to think about while we're waiting...

Who picks up Guide Dog's poo?

That's because the text hasn't changed on the tickets page. Neil has set it up so it only pings when something of use changes which hasn't happened (in terms of GA tickets). There have been pings a while back for campervans etc.

I've searched and searched this and I can't find anything unfortunately. There are some apps but definitely not suitable.

Well won't I look insane tethering my laptop on the bus, through the street and in the waiting room...

Why is it a worry? the page hasn't changed hence no alerts.

Cheers gibble. I'll get back in my box!

I have such a Glastonbury sob story.

Last year my friends who usually gig at it said they weren't able to go so I never got a ticket. Then late May (past all hope of resale) they got a gig and went without me. I knew I would be super depressed about this so my boyfriend arranged to come and visit and we planned a really fun weekend to take my mind off no Glastonbury.

When he should have left for the airport, he text saying "I'm sorry, but this just isn't going to work" and never arrived. We'd been together around 18 months and I haven't heard from him since. And all the people who would usually console me were at Glastonbury.

So this year, I was on it, I got my ticket. My friends were going to be gigging, they had a stage confirmation. Then on Monday they found out the stage had overbooked and they're not playing and don't have tickets. So I'm the only one with a ticket.

Guys, I really need this resale.

I heard the ping word mentioned and assumed I'd set it up incorrectly

But you DO have a ticket, that's the main thing surely? Might seem a bit daunting, but there's absolutely no chance that you won't make amazing friends there if you go on your own.

Wow thats a bad story!

You will be ok though even if it doesnt work out, I've done Glastonbury on my own before and it was amazing, you will have the time of your life either way!

Who picks up Guide Dog's poo?

People that qualify for a guide dog are exempt from the law regarding picking up dog poo. However, guide dogs are also trained to wee/poo on command and do it in such a way that it is possible for the owner to be aware if they want to pick it up (they arch their back differently depending on what business they are doing)

Just came back from something similar, we got a guide from chillisauce.co.uk and she basically got us in loads of good places, free booze, queue jump etc. Would recommend. If you like a smoke, jump in an uber (not taxi, you'll get ripped off) to shotgun bar.... u can buy beer for £1 and weed for about £8/g - great place.

have fun!

So how does this work with bands getting tickets to sell? Do they just ask for more than they need for friends?

Now that's the coolest thing I've read on this forum in ages! Thanks.

Ok so who will end up going on their own if they don't get tickets?  I have friends going in other groups but only me out of my main group has a ticket (first time in years), hence being on here.

Nothing to do with the imminent resale, but I really like the new Blondie single. Album is a bit meh though.

Me. My friends always go for GA and have no interest in the coach sale. i got my coach ticket and we had a tota washout on ticket day. On the resale i got through to the reg page but there was a probem with two of the regs which sady cost me the time to process the transaction. Got through to the payment page for the person I am trying for now (her reg is fine!) but only car parking was available! So we missed out.

Such a shame as the Foo Fighters are my friend's favourite band and had ticket sot see them at Wembley and Glastonbury in 2015 and was denied both gigs. After the muddy trauma of last year she is desperate to go, I'll be gutted if I cannot get her in.
