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 out

Yes....the catchment was reduced I think around 2007 partly due to the reconsideration that many original areas were not as impacted as others closer, and also in some part due to the abuse of the pri

They don’t reopen the registration until November though so surely can’t be abused as people will have postcode on their existing registrations......

I know several people personally who have second registrations against addresses within the catchment to use a backup if they fail in main sale.

the more people talk about it, the more people will take the piss and try and abuse the local ticket system. There was a local last time who was initially refused tickets, various chancers had registered at his address without his knowledge.

 

Can we please stop talking about it. Locals know where to get the information, people casually asking probably aren't local and are depriving someone who is genuinely local.

Many tickets are sold to the wrong sort of people - the many thousands who leave their tents behind.  A £500 or £1000 bond/deposit per tent, refundable when it's scanned on the way out, would sort that out, lol.  Probably have to be  £1000 to make it work, because with several people in some tents,  they'd probably be OK with losing e.g. £100 each.  As for the mega amounts of rubbish left behind in the camping and other  areas - what to do!?

Think assuming everyone who goes has £1000 spare to throw down as a deposit is dangerously pushing the festival into being a painfully middle class, privileged culture that people attack it for??

it is.  As is keeping this thread alive.  Every year people innocently raise a thread on local tickets when they have not scored, the majority (not accusing you of anything by the way) are not local and are arseholes who think they have the right to abuse local sales. This is why genuine locals don't get tickets, the same happens for Pilton Party although that takes a bit more effort.

People registering at someone elses address usually get found out and their registrations cancelled. Electoral registers are a good resource.

 

Can we please drop this thread before more Londoners volunteer to help when it is feck all to do with them.

What do you mean? I’m just helping him and his local friends get tix, I’m not local so wouldn’t qualify anyway?
