For some reason I have no edit button. I was wrong and you were right it was 4 and 2.

I got them through radio 1 in 2016. Definitely recommend entering as many as you can if you aren’t successful in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyb66 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Well. Missed out yet again. Not entirely sure I can go through with the April resale only to miss out again , then do what I did last time around and mope about for several days like a kid who only has one football and has just kicked it over the fence of a neighbour who is a complete bastard and refuses to give it back. I actually sat there yesterday morning and prayed that virgin and sky broadband would both crash at 8.59am.. just for a couple of minutes... I know two things. 1. I’m going to hell 2. I’m currently not going to Glastonbury Bolox!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme2 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Only a group of 2 needed for the resale so if anyone else has a group of 2 we can team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophiejmitch Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Me and my group of 10 unfortunately managed no tickets between us this yr, hoping and praying for luck in the resale! One thing that strikes me as unfair is after November 1st people can register for the first time and apply in the resale. Surely it would be a fairer system for only existing registrations to be eligible in the resale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I have won tickets through western daily press before ..and a chance to buy themas 1 of a pair of 1000 through that before ... will keep an eye out .... and ee do competitions too ... all is very definitely not lost ... lets hope for the secret resale being reinstated too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a die-hard core of us here till virtually the start of the Festival. Amazingly a good proportion of us did manage to find a route in in the end. it was great meeting the fellow secret resalers at the cider bus.

Trying to look into all options possible at the moment- still waking up with that gutted feeling At this point you've got a lot of options available to you. Fortunately there are plenty of volunteering opportunities (WaterAid, Oxfam, Festaff, DC site services, Shelter, Workers Beer Company and quite a few more) that tend to start opening up applications from February. Then there's usually quite a few competitions running from April, the april resale and secret resales which may or may not happen. Don't do what I did last year and leave it to May to start begging around for Voluntary work. By that point, there's only really stand by places available and that is no guarantee. That said, DC site services is the best bet for that. They go through a lot of volunteers as they are very strict (the amount of people I saw getting their wristbands removed was ridiculous. They had a security guard posted at the exit of the crew camp to make sure that people leaving weren't escaping into the festival. If they felt that someone was doing a runner, they would remove their wristband). There is always a way in and I'm sure over the coming months, you will discover many other ways 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkyJoe Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Hi all, some familiar faces on here again from 2017? I was lucky this year but I remember the feeling all too well. Stay strong and at least you have the genuine resale to look forward to but in light of the non existent secret sale last time round for the people that genuinely need to be there it may be worth looking into volunteering options early. Good luck to all of you. Shaun. Edited October 10, 2018 by MilkyJoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
