thewayiam Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Not that I was 100% free or even looked into but would anyone consider doing the Oxfam deal, then if they got lucky in the resale taking a big hit to attend completely to their own devices?

It wouldn't be that big of a hit. As long as you cancel at least 6 weeks out, it'd be a £20 admin fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incident Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 24 minutes ago, thewayiam said: I thought it was 6 weeks from being approved? Nope -- Quote Each Festival has a 'cancellation deadline' which is 6 weeks before you are expected on-site. If you cancel a Festival after its cancellation deadline, you may forfeit your deposit. If you do need to cancel your place, the below admin fees will apply: Cancelling any number of festivals within 7 days of applying: No admin fee Cancelling a place at a festival before the 6-week cancellation deadline is £20 per festival. I've cut out some of the more detailed stuff about exceptional circumstances, lost equipment, etc. But it's definitely "6 weeks before you're expected on site" - for Glastonbury I make that either May 11, 13, or 14 depending on which day they're using so hopefully the resale has happened by then and anyone who's signed up to volunteer as an insurance policy will be able to make an informed decision.

I have chosen go with Oxfam and to get a place was just as stressful as ticket day with the site crashing and all stewarding places gone in 20 mins, so not an option now unless you campaign I’m afraid. I’m going to stick with it weighing up all the pros and cons, ie go in early, we can take are motorhome, secure campsite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, if I'd have looked more I'd have secured a ticket...albeit I was at work that day so a toilet phone break would have been hard lol, and took the £20 hit if successful in the resale. 36 minutes ago, Watchy said: I have chosen go with Oxfam and to get a place was just as stressful as ticket day with the site crashing and all stewarding places gone in 20 mins, so not an option now unless you campaign I’m afraid.

DareToDibble Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just to echo what a few people have said: the wait is by far the worst part! I saw the Resale Club twitter posted that a Friday or last week of Feb seems to be the most popular time for an announcement - so here's hoping for an absolute dogturd announcement in the next week or 2 to get more tickets back in that pot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone believe that really happens? I can certainly envisage that there are headliners who prompt some people to desperately want a ticket where they may have been on the fence before, just find it hard to believe the opposite.

For die-hard Glasto fans I don't think annoucements matter too much. However for the non-committed and hangers on who got a ticket in the autumn, I believe they do. It helps shape the picture of what they want to do or can do this summer. Along with other issues such as mates dropping out, available holiday from work, clashing events (eg weddings), money needed elsewhere and.....no no no I really don't think I could cope with living in a tent and all that dust/dirt/mud ?

Yeah i agree, die hards who go every year doesn't matter who plays, but there are people, mainly who have never been before and don't realise what glastonbury really is, will defo look for headliners etc and change their minds - they have nothing to base it on, we all just have to hope there are loads of them types and they all put their tickets back for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinaw Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Morning re-salers. Tortured myself last night listening to Glasto 2019 playlist on Spotify then spent an hour looking through last years photos. Fingers crossed for that Westlife announcement....then I reckon we will al be in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozanne Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I probably shouldn’t admit this but I’d absolutely go and see Westlife if they played and sing my little heart out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCor Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Surely there’s gunna be an announcement soon. This weather is making me feel nostalgic for the fields, and excited at the prospect being there. I have a good feeling today, we got this!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh hello. I’m doing the same. Been entirely avoiding anything Glastonbury related for months and been utterly convinced I won’t get tickets. Now it’s the time of year where something ticks over in my head and I can’t help it, I’m thinking about Glastonbury and getting unjustifiably optimistic about tickets. Hopefully it’s not the hope that kills you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
