Was a great gig Should have been at the SSE for the stone roses - the bars were that poorly organised you would have not bothered trying to get a pint (20 minutes plus queueing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realised though the peace sign attempt thing is on Thu midday so maybe 2pm at the Cider bus is a bit tight. I'll pop by if I can, only get my shifts on Monday though.

Nobody Interesting Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Re the meet. I really would love to say hi in person to you but time is tight. I have a meet up with people elsewhere at around 3.30 Thursday and on my to see list is Mik Artisitc and out of all his sets there is only one I can make!!! The Gateway Thursday at 2.30 - whether I actually get there is as always another matter!! If there is a meet and if I can pop in quickly how do we recognise each other?

Fair point either way I've no idea if fraudsters are operating more or less than other years, but I know they're at work this year, and some people who use efests have been had (tho i'm not sure if it was via here or not). ANYONE offering tickets doesn't have a legitimate ticket to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a conversation with a female telephone agent at See at the end of May. I got through OK [i.e. quickly, but the other day had to wait an hour, at 13p a minute from a landline] - and she went away and, after a while, came back to say there would be a resale a week before the festival starts. Tickets could be bought online or by phone, she added. Perhaps someone wants to ask See online what's happening. When i got thru after an hour a few days ago, the agent refused to go and ask what the ticket situation was; he just insisted said there would be no resale. Make of all this what you will - but when does the fest officially start? Edited June 14, 2017 by scorp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times like those that you should take as much info from the agent as possible, name or agent number, time of call, supervisor name etc. Otherwise trying to follow up that call is useless. Hopefully its true. Either way still lots of us waiting on one. Edited June 14, 2017 by lobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've come to terms with none of the family being able to get tickets. If it happens (and it almost certainly wont) then great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your support humour and kindness has brought many a smile. Still hoping we might see you there - but if not have a wonderful summer and good luck with tix in 2019 I will still lurk here and I do have my ticket sorted, I was trying to secure one for my partner, this would've been our 10th glasto together and due to group buying dynamics someone got a ticket for me but not him - our house has been a tense strange place over the past few months. So I will see some of you at the meet Wed, and keep fingers crossed for those final competitions and those risking much to get themselves there too.
