Ozanne Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I’m still very keen, getting more nervous as the weeks pass. Especially seeing The Killers go to odds on favourites to headlong. It’s my dream to see them headline the Pyramid Stage! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madyaker Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Anyone who’s really committed should consider volunteering as well. Not everyone will be successful in resale so it’s good to have a plan b (or c I suppose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffmiffy Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Feeling a bit deflated, especially as the rumours and announcements are slowly starting to gather pace. Our group has had a good run though and been successful in a number of resales before so we can't complain....but I'm sure I will if nothing comes off!!

I don't really want to use up my holiday volunteering at fests I don't care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who did Glastonbury last time out have priority but in my experience there were plenty of places. I worked for them in 2017 and they’d actually had to get some agency bar staff and pay them because they didn’t get enough volunteers. With Oxfam, those who did 2 festivals the previous year get priority, but there are spaces for people who just want to sign up for Glastonbury. Competition is almost ticket day level of fierce if you are non-priority, but you either get in or you don’t - you don’t have to do another one. Both offer staff camping with a free meal for every shift you do, better loos, showers, somewhere to charge your phone, early access to the site and access to crew bars that aren’t open to the public. Overall, it’s a different festival when you volunteer, because you can’t spend the whole time hammered, but it has its compensations. I think it’s actually only Festaff who insist on you doing another festival. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously understand the priorities on previous volunteers, completely fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I had a dream last night that I got to Glastonbury before the rest of my group so set up my tent and waited whilst having a few beers. When I woke up my girlfriend turned to me and said “I had a really weird dream we were at Glastonbury...” If that isn’t a sign we’re getting tickets in the resale I don’t know what is!

Abbathehorse Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 So the last time I got tickets in the resale was many years ago now, due to either a) getting lucky in the initial sale, or b) not bothering at all. However, I am pretty sure all resale tickets were only available over the phone then, rather than online. So, was this actually the case, or am I remembering wrongly? Also if this was the case, I assume the resale tickets are now booked online through SeeTickets as per the main sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the same as the main sale, tho I think with a limit of 4 tickets in one transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernintendo Chalmers Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Has there been any indication of when the resale date would be? Any educated guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 difficult to say, as Easter gets in the way this year - last time it was Sunday 23rd. The likely dates are Sunday 14th or Sunday 28th April, I think. Take your pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to see them in Swansea June 2018 as a result of their Glasto gig, fantastic. I hadn't seen that their odds of headlining had been shortened. Makes it a more bitter blow if we fail to get tickets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 If it is the 14th then I'm at a stag in Europe that weekend - That's gonna be a hell of a hungover morning if I don't get tickets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perks Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Well nervous for this - been a hard slog since October - its normally 4 in main and 2 in coach isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I saw them in 2017 at the JP, I waited up there for about 4 hours on my own on the chance it was them. Paid off though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as coach sale would only be 4 days after the ticket return deadline, I can't see that being enough time for the people at see tickets to get things in order. The resale date in 2017 was announced 10 days before, so looks like we will find out last week of March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think the coach default is 2, but is also limited by the number on the particular place / time coach you're booking for (how many seats on that coach/coaches have been freed up - may only be 1).

DareToDibble Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Just had a look at that and set up a reminder. 3 x 8 hour shifts between Wednesday and Sunday. Absolutely worth doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
