I *have* cried. Repeatedly. We've entered every competition we can, to no avail. I've explored all other options (except the "pay £20k pp" ones!) and I'm now at a loss. Doubtless many will think us rather sad, but I can't imagine not being there. It would make up for so much other sh!t. I can't keep this up much longer

someone posted that there were some available with accomodation for £1,600-something, earlier if you were that desperate. but had to be for 2 people I think.

Fuck me, try and help folks out by trying to get news of if there will be a sale and get a down vote.

Bloody charming!

NOBODY down votes the cucumber. Kindly accept another up vote.

I don't think it was meant as a gloat..we're all waiting for news from SEE...it's all relevant!

......and what I posted was meant to lighten the mood not attract further tension.

Is there any way I can give this three upvotes?

[babyblade41]

I really hope it goes ahead for all of you but I think maybe if there is nothing by tomorrow evening then it is looking less likely 

How about a mass twitter bash to see tickets...harass until they release some

Tried that...(we need tickets for 2; the kids are free and can sleep in boxes (!)) Flyglastonbury said it was only a caravan with one ticket, and had already gone. But thank you anyway!

[moheetoes]

Right ok, signing off for the evening to make my way up to the lakes, let's hope patchy mobile reception and dodgy internet work when the sale goes ahead.

keep the faith

Ahh bummer! what's the point of a caravan for one!

Winding down for the day. See you all in the morning. 

[Ted Dansons Wig]

I'm staying on here irrespective. Nothing has changed.

 

In fact....I may stay on here forever as its more fun than working.  Still dreaming of a meet up with you all on Wednesday in one of the bars where we laugh about how we could ever have doubted we'd get tickets.

Hmm, the article the guy himself links to on EE's own site says they anticipate 40TB this year which will be a 33% increase, 33% less than 40 is 26.8 

[frizzydizzymizzy]

Pasties about to come out of the oven and the sun's still shining! Think happy thoughts peeps! see ya'll tomorrow!

I figured they were saying 'a third' and therefore made it 30Tb last year.

Ditto! I sincerely hope this happens!

It could just be the obvious 25Tb but I went with 26.8 anyway

I went in at 26.6666666666667 to cover the bases. 

[Redwinevino]

Just had a thought, I have a few friends who live close by the site and apparently due to the chaos of last year the festival had to make private assurances they would lower the number of people this year.

Maybe that's why the final returned tickets aren't being sold.

Didn't it say 33% more than last year equates to 40Tb this year? Rather than 33% less last year? Damn, I've never tried to do maths voluntarily before!

You'd assume if that was the case they would've just sold less in the main sale, but that wouldn't stop people asking for refunds however many tickets were originally sold so it shouldn't make a difference.

[Michaels denim shorts]

But 25Tb + 33% = 33.25 so they're all surely wrong too

That is a brilliant idea. I should go and pack for my trip to Kernow, given that I no longer have a debit card to pay with anyway (thieving cloners). But every now and then a little morsel of hope is dangled in here and I don't want to miss it...

True, but they would know from previous years the rough amount of tickets that end up being returned in the final window

NOW you tell us.

 

But - they didnt know how many returnees they'd get so trying to control the numbers in that way doesnt seem smart.

 

If there isnt a sale - its possibly because numbers returned were lower than normal. This could be for loads of reasons. Maybe the festival is going to full of Radiohead fans this year lord preserve us.

More likely - the fact there wont be another one for 2 years means people are sticking with it no matter what. selfish bastards.
