Resale, how many going back

Not sure how right I'll be on this but we also need to consider that we're a self-selecting group of people replying to this thread. Therefore we're more likely to be the keener types who try to make it at all costs. I imagine there will be a proportion of people who buy and just forget as well as those who buy simply because they can afford it and let the final balance drop. That may only account for a couple of thousand people but it's still something to bear in mind :)

Might be a strange question but why would anyone even think of sending one back?......it's the ticket of the summer.

Possibly because they can no longer make it? I.e they may have died. Or got a wedding to go to. Or lost their job and are skint

So it looks like it might be somewhere between 10-15,000. If these figures are anywhere near right then it looks like for every person returning a ticket there is just under 1.5 people trying for one...so maybe around the 20,000 mark. However, I think there may be more than that...

I'd be interested to know how many will be opting for the coach resale and main resale...

I can't believe there will be as many tickets available for the resale as that (But I wish there was!). I reckon this thread will distort the numbers upwards. I think I'm right in saying the festival has never made public the numbers on sale before or after each resale? So admittedly it's all guesswork.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
