I'll get back in touch closer to the re-sale dates. I'll work out the logistics of it before then and let you know how to play it. Thanks once again.

moheetoes Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks to everyone offering to help us ticketless out, it is very much appreciated, it's the first year ever I've not been able to help others in the April resale as always had my own ticket at this point, so I'm quietly confident that we WILL get there, all of us - having previously been successful for others in the April and not so secret resales over the past 3 years or so. I managed to get 2 camper van tickets today for friends who have already got their GA tickets, it's a sign for April..... Keep the faith.

Familiar2billions Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Does anybody have a link to any of the info and advice on how to set up text alerts to your phone if there are changes on the ticket booking page i.e. secret resales? 3 out of 4 of our groups were lucky this year so im making it my mission to ensure the 4th group get over the line! Any help would be most appreciated guys. Edited October 27, 2016 by Familiar2billions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjamest Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 "if you want to monitor the ticket page and get a text alert as well as an email when the page changes, you can use http://www.checkpage.co.uk There's a charge because the texts aren't free, and any profits are used to help fund efestivals." Neil has just posted this on 'Worthy View' - I think some people had success with it in the 'secrets' last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 If I'm available on resale day I'll be more than happy to help. Add me to the list of potential helpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than happy to help out with the resale for you both. You're one of the poster's I've always enjoyed reading on here, so would be rude of me not to offer. If you need someone to vouch for me, although Neil and I have never met, we have a mutual friend, who could confirm my trustworthiness.

No need for any vouching as I can see that you've been around these parts for quite some time, and I also recognise your name. I'll get in touch closer to the resale dates. Oh, and I'm glad that some of my posts have made for entertaining reading for you. That's cheered me up no end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 We're on the road to being lucky as I think I've now got a CV East ticket thanks to the magnificent Mooro. However we will still need four main festival tickets, so any help in the resales will be appreciated. If you are also going to be in CV East you will be welcome to join us for Drewstrat's famous Tuesday night veggie curry that will guarantee to keep you regular for the rest of the festival.

Mardy Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 So. This thread. I veer between extremes. I really tried hard to stay off efests, cos i haven't got a ticket, so i really can't/shouldn't get excited, but it's not so easy. I keep popping my head into the site, and then.. wallop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Yog. definitely count me in to give you a hand on the day, particularly after your very kind offer of help at the last minute on T day. @mardy Also happy to add you to my group, been reading your posts since I joined for Glastonbury 2015.

grumpyhack Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 If I get to Glastonbury this year (I know it's next year but you know what I mean) it will be very special for me because I appreciate that it wouldn't be possible but for all the kind help of so many generous EFesters. They say that Glastonbury restores you faith in human nature. Certainly Efests does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think between us there is no way you won't be going. There does indeed seem to be quite the army of F5'ers. I found out at the weekend that one of my wife's brothers may want help for him and his son for next year. If so, I could tie it up in one package = if people were willing to go along this road. If he decides not to bother then it means that potentially there are two spaces left if somebody gets through for me and my wife. As it would be criminal to get through to the booking page and only book me and my wife's ticket when there's many an efester needs help, then it's going to take some logistical sorting out as to how to go about it. Fortunately carlosj off efests has said that he will assist with this should the occassion arise (I'm not sure that my head could cope with the logistics).

Unfortunately the Take That sale this morning has sent the system alert crazy, so i've turned it off while I write a trap for the error the page is giving at time today.
