Resale 2017 - How many going back in

[Upside down frowner]

14 reserved 10 paid 2 back in. Want one more

[Guest]

Oh I need one for a pal now. Probably won't get it, used up all my turbo luck on October. A lot of it on wasters who've not come. Bloody lightweights

[Joshuwarr]

Got bored after 3 pages but it was around 8% which is roughly about where we would expect it to be. I think you're looking at a minimum of 10,000 tickets going back in. The average efester is probably a bit keener than most punters so I think it might be a tad higher. My guess would be somewhere between the 12,000-14,000 mark. 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

I've always assumed it would be about the 10% mark, which I guess would make it 13500 general release tickets, assuming everyone tries for 4 (they won't of course, some will only be trying for one or two but...) that's 3375 individual opportunities of 4 tickets.

17 paid for. None back in. 3 needed.

2 reserved - 0 going back- 1 needed 

We've got friends that "think we might like to go" but haven't been arsed to even register, I'm very cut throat about the whole ticket getting business: I'll help anyone if they at least put the same amount of effort in.  If you can't be arsed to register then I can't be arsed to type your number, pay your deposit then chase you for cash when balance is due.

On the otherhand we've got another friend who after emigrating decided he must fly back for Glasto, yay! Anyway he'll be glued to his devices for both coach & gen reseales til he gets one, and I will be too - same amount of effort, see!

 

Send me @sloseph details and I'll help in the coach and resale. I'm trying for 3 of my friends in the resale so I'll add him to make 4. I'll need to know if he's willing to travel Wednesday as well as Thursday, and where from (coach sale)

As long as there's two with mine and my boyfriends name on it (and everyone else here who's after more!)

I don't have his details yet...

Will get on it next week though, think you can only get 2 for coaches though...I need to check everything with him early next week.  He's got a whole host of friends trying for just him so may be unfair if he goes in a group and it then gets messed up for them.   Let me check it out with him and I'll get back to you, thanks for the offer

 

I'm not trying for friends in the coach sale so it won't mess it up. Ok let me know x

Roughly 10% at the moment, still a lot more than I thought it would be actually.

Indeed !

[bellboy]

We can contribute 1 to the pot (out of 16 booked).  Everyone from our group seems really up for it this year (more so than usual).

Love that song respect

6 reserved, 1 back in - trying for multiple friends who missed out in the original sale

[st dan]

You really should be able to use the tickets that you're putting back into the pot, for other friends / family that need them.

The concept of 2 tickets going back in .. only for you then to then have to try again for two more is a bit silly!

Although I am aware this wouldn't really be possible.

Why should your friends have a better chance of those tickets than someone else?

Because your friends were already successful back in October in the original sale? (albeit a different set of friends).

So it wouldn't be them having a better chance as such. Because this wouldn't be a possibility if the original tickets were all purchased. 

Im only saying this as I'm in this boat myself right now. Out of my group of 10 - 8 got tickets in the main sale and 2 of us missed out (unfortunately me!). Now 2 of the 8 can't go .. and I just wish we could have their tickets!

Not this time mate, couldn't justify £100 or so for a ticket. Saw him last time at Manchester Apollo, one of my top 3 gigs of all time I'd have to say!! Met him briefly afterwards too, I may have turned into a little girl slightly! Did you manage to get one?

Opens it up to touting tho, ye? Create a load of fake names at addresses all over under various emails, with no intention of tickets ever going to them, get tickets for those accounts in October, then let the ticket go in April but have people pay you to have the tix reallocated to them. We've discussed all sort of things on here about the ticketing system, and some times we all get the short end of it, but the current system really does work.
