Tickets Despatched!!!!! glast-GOOOOO!

[Hugh Jass]

I still have nothing at all next to my tickets in the See Tracker. Not even a "we're awaiting delivery..." just blank. Emailed See about it a couple of weeks ago and they didn't seem too concerned by it.

I have a bad feeling...

[MetaKate]

Hopefully this isn't the big surprise. 

I'm a bit nervous because I'm international (Canada) but I leave here in 2 weeks.

Ive been wondering when tickets would be being dispatched......then I remember im on a coach package so wont get them till the day itself.......hmm that kind of takes the gloss off, love the holding the tickets in hand feeling

Stone Roses tickets for Saturday before were dispatched by See and I got them a month ago.

But conversely nobody on here has confirmed receiving theirs yet, and we all know over the past few years plenty already had.

Yeah - you can totally guarantee that people will post when they get their ticket (including me!) 

The ticket information on the Glasto website says that tickets will be received at least 14 days before the event. Howeverrrrrr.....I saw a tweet from See on Monday which said they expect everyone to have received them 7 days before. Something's up.

Didn't they start delivering them a bit later than usual last year? (I can't remember exactly, but I seem to remember getting mine much later than usual, which was annoying as I had to meet up with a friend in Manchester to give him his ticket, and was rapidly running out of days when I could do that).

Just posted over on the resale thread. Might explain why tickets haven't been sent out yet.

I've got the "Tickets are in stock and will be dispatched shortly to the address provided" message

 

Exciting!!

I hadn't my ticket last year about a week ago, so certainly not later than this year.

Ha, you're right- I only just realised this thread was started 18th May 2016!

At resale I bought friends a campervan ticket - they managed to get through and get one for themselves too.  They rang SEE, and said which one they want to keep - then SEE refunded both campervan ticket prices (minus 2 x £10).  Checking the order online they still have the one that they want showing as confirmed, but not a brilliant performance from the retailers

Certainly does - thanks for posting. Still not (yet) as late as the early 2000s....I got my 2004 ticket the Saturday before :-/

Same for me in 2015 (11th May) & 2016 (18th May). Unlike some on here, mine aren't even showing as in stock yet on the See order tracker. They're late this year....but trying not to panic yet.

Mind you, noticed their dispatch feed for Bearded Theory said 0% dispatched yesterday, but the festival is this week! As no-one seems to be complaining on social media, I assume it's their online tracker that's wrong 

It certainly is, I received my Bearded Theory tickets around 2 weeks ago

Thanks for confirming  I knew it couldn't be right!

PS - Hope all well in your world, will you be at the meet this year? I didn't make it last year due to the weather

Thanks you! Yes, I won't be missing the efest meet, make sure we meet up! I'll be preparing properly for the meet up with an extended session at Brother's Bar no doubt...

Excellent news. Look forward to catching up on your Everest adventure 

EDIT: with the proviso we get our tickets from See in time.....

I would seriously consider asking SEE to make your tickets - 'collect on site'. i believe they can easily do this, i would be very doubtful about them reaching you in the post within the next 2 weeks

The thought of collecting them on site gives me so much anxiety!

I can fully appreciate that, we thought we might have to do that for some our ours last year, and we were dreading having to do that but in the end they posted them (collected from the PO on the Wednesday of the festival).

I can't remember what information SEE gave us about the collection point, they weren't very helpful to be honest! But in your situation it might be worth doing. Or do you have someone you can send the tickets too in the UK, that might be the answer, i'm sure there is still time to change the delivery address

You have to go to the ticket office at Gate A. Friend had to do that in 2008 (she bought her ticket just before the festival - they didn't sell out that year until the day before). Fine if you're parked in the West car parks and camping on the west of the site, but if you're parked and camping in East or Worthy View it could be a nightmare. How would you even get to Gate A? So....there must be special parking arrangements for people just collecting tickets, perhaps someone on here can advise?

[discopete]

I emailed see tickets and they said "your tickets have been printed and once despatched we will email you" however on the live tracker update it says "we are awaiting stock of your tickets"...

something fishy going on here

Glastonbury is still 4 weeks away, no need to worry. Look at it this way, there is less time to misplace and lose the ticket.

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

I'm definitely not worried, it's just curious that tickets are going out much later than the past few years (as well as the the fact if there is to be a secret sale, that is by now already much later too)

[JoeyT]

Pretty sure one of the largest ticket retailers in the industry know what they're doing in regards to the printing and distribution of tickets folks.

Enjoy the build up don't fret about it!
