I’ve ventured into a few and had to back out as I started getting excited about how close the festival is getting then remembering I’m ticketless Resale Club, Competitions and General Chat only going forward I think!

Good call. Revolut replied with the following... I can say that if the merchant is accepting pre-paid cards and payments without 3D secure system, the payments should go through without any problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Are you well? I thought you were. The sun is out and I’m gonna have an afternoon of watching sport and drinking the Mallets cider I bought which gives you entry into a draw for Glasto tickets!

andyb66 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Huge respect for anyone who works for the NHS especially those on the frontline day in day out. On the subject of the other half leaving you odd jobs to do. A piece of advice. Do not own a toolkit and just be generally crap at DIY, as I am. That way you’ll rarely, if ever, get asked to do anything around the house ? You’re welcome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb66 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I still think it’s utter bollocks that people can still set up new registrations to have a go in the resale. Just my opinion. Edited April 13, 2019 by andyb66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyb66 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 The resale, in my opinion, should be open to all those who registered in time for the original sale. The majority of whom will inevitably miss out. if people are that set on going to the farm they will surely be keen to register in time for the initial sale knowing full well they’ll get another go 6 months later if they miss out first time of asking. Allowing those who aren’t really that keen ( clearly not that keen or they’d have registered in time for the main sale) to register at such a late stage gives the people who took the time to register in the first place less of a chance of nabbing a ticket. In short. The people who could be bothered to register initially get a fair(er) shot at the prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madyaker Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Id say the number of people who don't have a registration for the main sale and then set one up for the resale is absolutely tiny. If you have a valid reg you should be allowed to try in all sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm happy to try for anyone that needs help in either resale. Let me know. Someone from here got.me a ticket in the main sale and I hope to be able to pass the favour forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if people agreed with that (and I don't think many would when they don't have a vested interest), you'd create a situation that was either unfair to some of the people you're trying to benefit, or was a nightmare to administrate. People may have tried to register in October but had the photo rejected and no time to resubmit. People may have tried to update their photo but not realised that it didn't go through until sale day. People may have lost access to their E-Mail account and so need to create a new registration. People may been registered by their Ex, and have now split up and so need to create their own registration. None of those are theoretical by the way, I've seen all 4 this year alone and there would doubtless be other situations I've not thought of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, only the families of those working frontline in the NHS understand. Permanently understaffed and stressed. Mrs Lycra had 2 glasses of wine and no food. Now in bed. Only lost 1 patient today and he was old....so it's not been such a bad day. The worst is when it's young people who die....just like the kids who should be enjoying their first Glasto.........she had 3 die on her during one shift and she was in bits when she got home..... Why am I telling you this......Because it makes me so angry how bad the people who make a difference are so badly treated and paid...they're endeavours recognised in patronising condescending platitudes by politicians and near-do-wells.....and those who sit on their arses and just thinking they've done a hard day's work whilst earning mega bucks......It's also why I want to get tickets to take Mrs Lycra back to Glastonbury......The joy it gives to her when she's there is my reward.....Bring on the resale! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more. I don't work front line but support from a tech point of view in a much smaller, behind the scenes kind of way. Total and complete admiration for those who do.

The whole reason the re-sale is happening and you’re getting a second crack at buying a ticket, is because people changed their mind from when they initially bought a ticket last October and decided not to go. Surely it should be OK for people to change their mind the other way and decide that they do want to go? Or is it that not OK because it doesn’t favour you?

tinaw Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Thanks for all the NHS love, and great to hear of lovely men looking after their battle weary partners after a long shift. Mr W was equally kind to me after a gruelling day in a&e for me - big gin and tonic waiting for me on arrival home. Resales unite - we will be there, we have to be as we’ve arranged the Resalers meet up now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledwards Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Do any resalers have any ‘dumbed down’ instructions on how to get tickets? My dad has kindly offered to help, despite him being a ‘silver surfer’ he will still need guidance. If not - I will happily make some myself and share with the group!
