Essentially it's it's down to luck on whether you get thru to the buying page or not. The only way to find out is to try and keep on trying until the tickets are sold out.

Rumoured album out early 2019 and theyve never played glasto before so fit into this not played before category Strokes would be a sub at best these days.

I know tickets are hard to get but how hard? Like, if i was on the website ready, do you think its easy enough to get one? Any tips? Thank You I've managed to get tickets each time I've tried. There's no real trick to it, just persistence and luck. Just make sure you're on the ball and ready to go come 9am. I tend to try for coach tickets in the first instance so you essentially have an extra swing. And the coach is ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You It's much easier when less people do it, so make sure you spread loads of lies that it's rubbish so there's less competition. Incidentally, I wouldn't bother if I were you, it's rubbish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Really beginning to hit me there's no festival this year. Usually i'm gearing myself up for some line up news and preparing to put myself through watching the Brit awards with the faintest hope someone reveals they're playing the festival. Oh it hurts.

I’m sure they’d get better paying headline slots elsewhere though. If you take out Glastonbury, I don’t think very many festivals would be turning their nose up by the looks of the headliners around the place. Besides, 2000’s are pretty en vogue right now and I can see Stroke and the lads being bigger than they’ve been for over a decade when they eventually come back.

They’d need to make a pretty triumphant comeback to end up headlining any time soon/ever. Completely forgot that this happened! Wasn’t able to attend the Sunday of last years festival so it kind of escaped my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Strokes returning again and getting a Pyramid headline slot; me getting so excited and forgetting how shite they were at Leeds 2011; me watching them and it being awful and ruining my night. Lovely stuff. Get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see them ever being given that opportunity, just that other festivals will have them headline so they won’t have to take the William’s Green slot they’re tipped for around here.

Yep but I wasn't really excited for it and knew it'd be no better than what I'd seen a few months earlier (was seeing Sigur Rós 3 weeks later and didn't care about any of the other alternatives, anyway). And yeah they're not gonna struggle for headline slots elsewhere so I agree they won't show up at Glasto. R&L, BST and IOW would all take them in a heartbeat for starters, I'm sure.

I've heard they're much better in smaller, indoor venues but they were so ridiculously dull and lifeless when I saw them at Leeds Festival. Only band that's come close is Kings of Leon (also at a festival). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid a bit more for it but still was very happy with the performance. Wasn’t mind blowing, just good songs performed well in front of a receptive crowd. They don’t do a lot on stage so I can see how people tune out which might affect areas of festival crowds, but at the same time it’d be really at odds with their style of music if Jules was jogging about the stage and climbing up shit.

dentalplan Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I've only just seen this brief interview with Emily Eavis on NME and I haven't seen it mentioned on here yet. Re: headliners, there's one booked for 2019 (which voids what Michael said a few days prior ) and it isn't Theresa May. Furthermore they have more in place for 2020. It's more interesting for the talk of site changes tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
