basicminds Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Best of luck everyone tomorrow....trying to get 3 for the pot. Just had a thought though do we need to get parking permits at the same time or can you buy later? Trying to cut back any timings as much as poss!

I assume loads of people who tried first time will forget or not be bothered about resale There's been talks of 10+% in previous years which would be around 13,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verrymerry Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I couldn't help but bob in on this horrid evening to wish you all good luck tomorrow! It's our first time since going in 2007 that we're not trying for tickets, but I still feel a pang of anxiety!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkySandwedge Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Also down for helping my fellow sisters and brethren tomorrow as I'm going as a volunteer this year. So if any folk are needing or wanting help let me know! Good luck to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave RA Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Can I just ask how the spreadsheet is supposed to work? I put my name on it yesterday but it's still not "yellowed". Do I have to find three other people to make up a group of four? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymooz Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Maybe they are holding some back for a subsequent secret resale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billum Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Have we ever had a quote of how many tickets were available in previous resales so we can compare / use as a control (ie. to see if they underestimate by a factor of 2, or 5, or 10 as a matter of course) I suspect not, but if anyone's heard of one in previous years it'd be an interesting comparison with this year's seemingly-very-low claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't one last time out, I'd imagine they'd want to close it all out tomorrow. Then they can give me my Glade, Block 9 and Arcadia lineups...

The secret resale tickets (which never happened in 2017) were from any tickets cancelled between the resale and cancellation deadline.

I dunno, they could over quote by the same percentage and still sell out within half an hour. Can't see what they gain by doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagelaureate Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yeah, just to reiterate - I hope everyone gets sorted out. I've got a group and an individual from here to try for but I'll look into the thread should I be lucky for them. May your F5 fingers do you well.

Ged Devereux Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 5,000 does seem low but i was surprised by how few from my group are trying considering a lot of them didn’t get tickets in October! Always like to think the resales reward the diehards! Good luck to those trying tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thea! Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hi guys! Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone knows if we need to input the cardholder name? Or just numbers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmcga Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone - long-time Efester here (though not had much of a presence for a few years now due to work, family, etc, etc). Failed in October and trying again tomorrow. Haven't added our details to the spreadsheet as I'm not clear how it all works, but thought I'd log on to wish everyone luck anyway. I've gone every year since 2007, except 2017 when I skipped because I had a new baby. Really hoping to make a return this year!
