2017 Ticket Sale

[arcade fireman]

Definitely all about coach sale + Camplight for 2017. Worked a treat this time round. 

[kalifire]

A couple of weeks beforehand seems alright to me. Most people will know to look out around that time, and everyone gets an email, don't they? If it means some people don't notice, I guess that means more chance for the rest of us.

I think they'll probably announce towards the end of next week.

I'm clinging to the hope that it is never September so that hopefully it will be the week after... If it's this month they've got to tell us soon, surely?

In recent years, normally announced between 15th and 18th September.

I'm not bothered which Sunday they go on sale all I fear is not getting tickets . I was lucky 1st attempt this year and just got them couple of mins b4 they sold out . Desperate to go again but already convincing myself I won't get them 

[Gnomicide]

I keep thinking my luck will run out soon. Managed to get them for the last 6 festivals in General, Coach or resale. This year's secret resales were carnage.

Nerves are shot.

My Facebook Memories tells me there was an announcement this day in 2011. Stick that in yer Thingy and smoke it!

[Gnomicide]

2009 - 30/07/08

2011 - 01/09/10

2013 - 20/06/12

Thank God we don't get obsessive about this kind of thing

For the first time ever there is a sort of ballot in place for the charity I volunteer for. Normally it just rolls over from year to year if you are veterans and want a place.

This is exactly how I feel!

I've been lucky 8 Glastonburys in a row and I keep thinking my lucks gunna run out soon! I just really, really hope its not this year!

I am really, really hoping the 13 hour queues and getting stuck in the mud will put some people off! It wont, but I'm still hoping!

I've got the fear, but I've had it since I got back, it doesnt usually kick in until about now, not a good sign really is it?!

[arcade fireman]

If you're okay going by coach, remember you do get four bites at the cherry if you count the resale in April. Taking that into account, chances are pretty high. Especially if there's multiple people trying.

Doesn't bode especially well....

[DareToDibble]

There are 12 of us that go so we've split ourselves into 2 groups... Last year the group I wasn't in got theirs pretty much straight away. The following 20 minutes were horrendous.. just had images of them all living it up at Glasto which I sat at home. Luckily we managed to get our groups about 2 minutes before they sold out.

Nothing like T-Day nerves.

As a group of mostly veterans it might be an outlier as everyone is worried about a move/different form of festival etc and worries that there isn't many left. It might not translate to the general ticket buying public? <kids self>

[Zoo Music Girl]

It sounds pretty negative but I've kind of resigned myself to not getting lucky in the main sale any more. I'll give it a go, of course, on both occasions, but it will be only two of us trying this year. I'm just assuming it'll be resale or nothing

I have decided to hang up my Glastonbury spurs and not go to the 2017 festival. I've been to about 20 Glastonbury's and now want to go to smaller festivals. I have a few festivals already lined up for next year so will not be splitting the festival scene. I think the biggest that I will attend has a 10,000 people capacity and the smallest only 500.

I kind of don't blame you. I am planning to grab tickets for Victorious again for early bird prices if the 1st release is as good as this year was as realistically you only need to like the top 3 even to justify your £25 and the rest of the day can be spend on a pub crawl in town cheaper then just a couple inside. Also going to pay attention to 2000 Trees again. Part of me just wants a year free of mud, toilets and rough camping.

Also why I am planning to get Biffy tickets on this tour as if they do play Glasto on this tour I won't be pissed. Wish I went last time really as Opposites could have and should have been one album and the new album is pretty shocking!.

I've got sympathy with this too. Blue Dot and Supernormal were ace this year, and having a year off did underline that there is life beyond the big G.

But I do love it so. And I would love to go back. And Radiohead now seem a possibility to boot.

The hey is as I did with Leeds, don't watch any footage of the festival of that year and it won't feel too bad. I resisted back then and haven't looked back but Glasto isn't a case of I don't want to return, I have toured festivals every year for the last 11 years and this is the only year I have only done one actual weekend camp. 30 is 11 years with the majority being major is a lot!

[Badlands]

We’ve booked for Kendal next year, more for its close location and wanting to have the wean’s first festival close by. There’s a feeling of inevitability in our group that we’ll not get lucky this time. There’s too few trying for us down to holidays and stuff. I’m already scoping camping trips to France for when it’s on. 

[DropBeat]

We tried to get through twice for 2015 for a group of 9 and only got through one time, it was horrible. I was in the lucky half of the group, but felt awful. It's looking like there will be 5 or 6 of us this year so at least it removes that complication. I will be a nervous wreck by ticket day I think, after sitting 2016 out I am so desperate to be there next year.

There was a year where through no fault of his own, one guys reg number was incomplete so we had to take him off the purchase. It was described as leaving him on the ship as we all bolted on the escape pod

We sorted him at resale mind!

Talking of incomplete reg numbers Mrs P and myself recently re-registered (previous photos were almost 10 yrs old....) and although both applications were done same day my new reg number has 10 digits whereas Mrs P's has the usual 9 digits.

Done a reg check since and they are both valid but I though it a bit odd.....
