2017 Ticket Sale

[Lucy92]

Oh god the nerves have really set in. I feel so terrified already!!!

[mjsell]

I was feeling so optimistic this year. But yesterday has ruined that optimism. I'm not playing football sunday morning now so that I dont have to just rely on others. Think I might try and rope in my sisters to help out as well maybe. All hands on deck now - this is some serious shit!

[Pear_Cider]

The unthinkable thing for me about not getting tickets on Sunday is the CV ticket scenario. Yes, if you're unlucky in the ticket sale there is always the resale. Problem is, CV tix go on sale later this month and you can't get one without a GA ticket. By the time the resale comes around in April they will be all gone so the only way to secure one is to get someone else who has a GA ticket to get it for you. Then there is still the chance that you might not score a ticket in the resale anyway!!

Failure on Sunday is not an option!!

The big worry for me isn't so much not getting a ticket, because you can get them in the resale. It's just knowing that if none in our group get a ticket, then we won't have the same numbers try in the resale and it will most likely be a lone effort as momentum is lost. I'd just love the opportunity to see the Roses once, in my favourite place, with all of my mates. The line-up rumours are definitely adding to nerves this year.

Yeah this is it for me too. I think my almost all my group would lose momentum by April. Wouldn't stop me trying the resale though. And yeah, the rumours have definitely upped the stakes.

Not attempting to piss on anyone's parade here, and make the nerves even worse (had my first failure nightmare on Wednesday night, so I'm already bad) - but this year was the first time in many years our group failed to get the resale peeps any tickets at all.  And we had a lot of people trying for them...

exactly the same here. I've never failed to get tickets, either for myself or for anyone else. This was the very first time I failed. 5 friends were left at home for the first time ever. Too many people on the secret sale now to make that the surefire back up it always was. I think thats why I'm feeling so worried about Sunday.

it is just luck though isn't it. In recent years we've had -

2014 festival - 16 tickets in coach sale, failed for those needed in general sale, failed in resale

2015 festival - failed to get any in coach sale, got 18 in general sale, got 2 in resale

2016 festival - failed to get any in coach sale, got 19 in general sale, got 0 in resale

we all stand as much chance each time, roll on Sunday, it'll be fine

So I finally today got the elusive 6th member of our groups reg details from them after much nagging from all involved, then the person they had replaced in the 6 sent a casual wassap asking if we were trying for tickets (he'd told as at the end of this festival he'd have to sit it out next year due to having just had a baby) I thought to myself, here we go... it led to a conversation we all knew was coming (I'm just amazed it was this late) I've changed my mind, can I come too! So we've currently got 7, the most awkward number possible.

Do we reckon this is the best page to try and load first?

There is a way round that: If you have a friend with a ticket and you're unsuccessful on Sunday, buy the CV ticket in their name, which is a gamble that you'll get a ticket in the resale of course, I did this and it worked for me (You may have to travel in with them, but I don't think they were checking properly this year).

In my opinion it's his fault for leaving it this late to let you know. Tell him sorry but as you knew they weren't going there's six trying and once you're all sorted you'll all do your damnedest to get him one too. 

Definitely...don't jeopardise the 6 for one person!

[Slugworth]

Guys, forgive me if already been asked but is there a link for the reg page to pre fill my details?

ive been away in Devon with GPRS as the best signal i could find so ahvent been able to keep up with the chat on here

 

Cheers

Have just read this thread. Well done to all who got the coach tickets they wanted  & good luck to everyone who will be trying on Sunday. We've been going for years.  I used to wander into local record shop around Easter time and buy the tickets ... but it's much edgier pressing F5    Good luck all.  Hoping my luck will hold too !

Yep, I know that that is a way round it...it's still a hassle and you still run the risk of not getting a GA ticket in the resale. I think the only reason the stewards weren't checking properly this year is because of the nightmare that was getting people on site due to the conditions. I suspect that they were briefed to check properly, but events kind of changed priorities!

Nope, I'm keeping everything crossed for ticket success on Sunday...don't want to think about the alternatives!

Best of luck fellow coach-ers. See you all in the pit screaming out the final lyrics to Karma Police.

[nikkic]

So our group of six have collated our reg numbers, one of our group has a reg number that is two digits shorter than the rest of us. Is this normal?!

Is it a really old one? Try checking the registration at https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/registration/lookup

My mate has been talking about "what will do if we fail?"

That isnt the attitude Im looking for

That's work done. Going to try and keep my mind occupied during the build up for Sunday even though this is the first weekend in months where I have no plans... poor timing

Yes, quite normal. In our group we have a couple that have 8 digits and a couple that have 10 digits. I'm pretty sure there have been other differences in previous years too.

I'm so nervous!!!! 

[brendan84]

does it matter now how you input the postcodes of the ticket holders for the system to recognise it is a valid registered one?

as my reminder email has postcode states as N*9 7*T (space)

whilst my friends email is showing as  H*40*P  (no space)

havent tried for tickets for a few years and think one year the postcode fro one of us came up invalid when it wasnt, then had to go back out and eventually got through again.

 

crucial to input correctly when fastest finger first!!!
