stardustjunkie Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 In response to the press comments (I work in marketing for a charity so write multiple press releases as week): I'd be very surprised if the press covered the story. Mainly because it's not uncommon for post to be lost so it's not really a shocking story with a hook to make people want to read it. This forum understands the awfulness of the situation but Joe Bloggs from a local village won't. Also worth noting that papers have a deadline. Our local papers come out every Friday and our deadline for press releases is end of play Tuesday. If I wanted to get something in this week's paper then I'd have no hope now. Even the paid ads are sold out a couple of weeks in advance. I'm not saying don't do it.. More advising that it may not be the best avenue to focus your energy and time on. Just my two cents for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Traveling Matt Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Been also following this thread. I really hope you get somewhere over the next few days. I personally would begin to ramp up the twitter campaign and extend it to Facebook etc and also begin to copy in all Glastonburys sponsors, like EE, BBC etc etc, you never know where this might get you. Also at this stage there might be a few hospitality tickets allocated to some of these sponsors that might find their way to you if you tug the right heart strings. Best of luck anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it takes someone with a bit of authority to make things happen (it shouldn't but that's life) And even if the tickets don't turn up with all this proof I think you stand a great chance at the gate. You must let us know how you get on, lots of people are rooting for you xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
