(they made it 4 per person for Pilton Party for instance) I reckon a few people panicked reading that! Don't think I've ever tried for 6, last few years has just been 2.

It would be a disadvantage to all of us who plan to maximise our chances of obtaining tickets by working together if they reduced to 4 per application. We had 6 groups of 6 last time, so if the numbers remain as is we would need 9 successes rather than the 6 last time. Considerably less likely to achieve 100% success!

Just did a quick google and it looks as though you could get 8 per transaction for the 2013 festival but this changed to 6 in 2014 by the looks of things and has remained so ever since. https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/2013-tickets-faq/ https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/2014-ticket-sale-faqs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastynh Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I have just booked the time off work for next year. Might be tempting fate but I will go away if I don't manage to get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneeye Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Paranoia starting to creep in.... Just checked my registration number, no idea why, but it was nice to receive an email list of registrations valid to buy tickets when they go on sale ? https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/registration/lookup Of course, it also allows you to edit if you need to.

eastynh Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Does anyone else fear their luck is going to run out when it comes to getting a ticket? After failing for years, I have struck lucky on the last 3 occasions. I feel more nervous this year than at any time previously. What's the most consecutive times peeps have gone without missing out?

I'm 6 for 6 so far, so I know it's coming. Dreading it as always, but having done BDs this year I do feel slightly more like I could cope by going to a couple of smaller fests. Ask me if I feel the same way when I've missed out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaels denim shorts Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Having endured the secret resale thread (there was no sale in the end) I feel I've paid my dues & the ticket gods owe me one. We still have the secret resales surviver whatsapp group open & we're going to team up this year. safety in numbers & all that ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made it to every Glastonbury I've wanted to go to, but I've not personally got my own ticket since the 2011 festival. I did get through for someone else in the coach resales a couple of years ago, but that's it. I reckon I'm owed getting through many times for many people this year!

vintagelaureate Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Touchwood I've managed to get tickets every time I've tried (although as told before not made it to the farm every time I've got tickets). Last year was the first I'd tried in a while. If I don't get them for next year, I'll be beyond words! I have a few people trying for me who aren't even going!
