jonboy22 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 An old couple were sat in church when the little old lady leans over to her husband and says "i've very very quietly farted and i'm worried it might smell, what do you think i should do ?". Well he says, the first thing you should do is change the batteries in your hearing aid. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some back and forth about how tickets get allocated, areas have a set amount, they can request more but have to justify it. Someone once got fired (as an area booker) for knowingly recruiting acts that they knew they didn't have enough 'area allocation' for. Nobody knows if that's relevant, but interesting all the same. Also talk of more tickets being available for the organisation of the festival, but Neil reckons they were already going over their allocation, so no extra breathing room really. Koala needs a pot of tea today. And no official showing of the rugby this year. Edit: Also, Neil still seems hopeful, but obviously doesn't know - but if it's not happened by Tuesday then that is probably when we should scale down...

That reminds me of how we got tickets years ago when the registration thing was in early days . A mate had been successful but myself and a mate had not so we resigned ourselves to not going. Then it turns out a mate had been billed for 4 tickets when he only wanted one. He rang See or whoever to complain about the overcharging and they replied " We can refund you the three extra payments but to make things easier for us and to help you do you want us to allocate the tickets to other persons that are registered " I was then called by a very giddy mate "drop everything what's your registration number and post code ?" A few minutes later their system was updated and I was rung again to be told I would be going to Glasto after all ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefykoala Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I remember the old days of calling in and hearing the bad tone for 30 mins, and then that one time you'd hear silence... and then...

ivan Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I remember the old days of holding on to your ticket with dear life walkng through the car parks when there were lots of dodgy vans and geezers hanging around the car parks. Was it just rumours or did people actually have their tickets stolen from them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second time I went I didn't even buy a ticket, just turned up at the gate, paid and went in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
