JoeyT Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 It was 12pm on a Thursday last time. My guess is Thurs 25th October based on the last sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I've never had to rely on the local sales previously how easy is it to get through? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 General registration reopens November 1st so I’d guess both local and campervan/Worthy View sales will happen before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splatt Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Sell out quickly - think it was about 15-20 mins last time. When it used to be via phone could take couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymooz Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) How local do you have to be to qualify for local tickets? I imagine my grandparents live a tad to far away to qualify but I may as well check Edited October 7, 2018 by Mattymooz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloe12 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Was going to ask the same question, my dad has recently moved to Somerset but i dont know if he would qualify for the tickets, does anyone know how i can find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsonjack Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Its down to postcode....if you're not within a rough 10 mile radius then you won't be in the catchment. Can I also just ask that if you don't have a qualifying address (I'm only about 2 miles outside it myself...) that you don't use any address of relatives etc who may be within the catchment? Its a concession for local people who are inconvenienced by the festival in many ways...and abuse of the system is only likely to a. deny a real local of a ticket, and b. threaten the concession from existing in the future. Thanks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymooz Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Goddamit, a reverse image search finds this, with Chewton Mendip being just outside the range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilem Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 They do shift around a little, but I imagine that's pretty accurate... grandparents probably have friends though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLOVERMX Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I was lucky to get tickets this year for myself and 6 friends for the first time after trying for 5 years!! Interested to know though, can someone living in the catchment area purchase tickets for people outside of the area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 In a word, no. During local sales all registrations must be from within the local catchment area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainer93 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hi all, New to this site. I am registered local and just wanted to know how we find out when the local tickets go on sale ? I’ve been told it’s in the local newspaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IIRC you can just register with the postcode of the house of the person who does live within the catchment and it's fine right? Just the ticket get's delivered to their house and they have to forward it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
