Would like to add myself, just in case. #strawclutcher someone called chris is admin for it and only he can add people to the one i'm in. I would say use the check page that Neil set up as a preference (was the quickest off the mark last year!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sazindie Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I have a habit of avoiding the forums and anything glastonbury related until I have tickets...because I'm weird like that, but now we missed out on the resale too I've decided to stop being so silly! I've signed up for Neil's page checker, entered competitions and fired off emails to various volunteering outfits on the off chance. Good luck all, it's not over until it really is over!

Lycra Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I don't want to deter folks or give false hope but it's damn hard to get tickets in the secret resale as I know from past experiences. Missed out by seconds last year. My tips are to keep up to date with resale forum news, have a reliable webchecker that provides live immediate reports and make yourself available when a resale appears imminent. You literally need to sit with your laptop/computer/tablet/phone at the ready. Last year news of an imminent resale was fever pitch for a week before it actually happened one midweek afternoon. Then wham bam....all over in less than 10 minutes. Good luck to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have a kinder disposition than myself, as I'm not sure I could go through that stress again on somebody else's behalf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joy of watching them lose their shit if I secretly get them a ticket far outweighs the stress,although saying that I'd have easily punched someone out this morning when the sold out sign went up lol. Keeping everything crossed still and have a granny I'd willingly sell if could get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 That feeling when you get the tickets is indescribable. When I missed out last year I didn't actually feel gutted, it was a feeling of sheer disbelief. I just couldn't believe it was over so quickly. It must be another leisurely 10+ minutes this year - we're due one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somecoolusername Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I got my dad a ticket in the secret resale in 2013, having promised to get him a ticket in the resale and failing miserably. So he got to make his return to Glastonbury to see his favourite band (The Stones). Nothing beats making that phone call to say "you're going to Glastonbury". I think the wait, although excruciating, does make it feel all the more special. Just as you've all but given up hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycra Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Make sure your notifications using webcheckers are set to report as soon as the see page changes guys. Some report only every 5, 10, 15 mins etc. and you will probably find out too late and miss the boat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipmatt Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I've secured tickets in the secret re-sales - best way for me was to install the Google Chrome page monitor, then set it to check ever second. It will make a loud 'cuckoo' when the booking page changes Just leave your laptop on - easier if your someone who works at a laptop. Good luck lovely people x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having used both last year I can confirm Neil's one is noticibly quicker. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
