My fiancé and I have been unsuccessful in all four sales this year, we’ve been to the last five festivals, and around the time that would have been Glastonbury last year got engaged on a sunny Saturday afternoon in front of the Pyramid stage (she said yes)! The place is obviously so special to us as it is to so many people and we’re both absolutely gutted, I just thought I’d ask if there’s anyone who might be able to help us in the secret resales? I haven’t needed to get one for either of us in the secret sales previously, but I was successful for a friend a couple years ago, so we have some hope. We've entered every competition going so far, we haven’t quite come to terms with not being at the festival yet and not being at the farm next month. Please do let me know if anyone can help us? Any help will obviously be thanked with copious levels of a tipple of your choice! Thanks. There was no secret resale in 2017 I'm afraid, judging by the speed of the resale this year I doubt there will be one this year, but you never know. Your best bet is to sign up for checkpage or something similar just in case, it was so fast last time that trying for 3 tickets rather than 1 could mean the difference between someone (if they were trying for you) getting a ticket or not.

I too believe prospects for a secret resale this year are extremely low....but never say never. There are so many here wanting tickets that self help is always going to be your first and best policy. So get a page checker and follow it avidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complementorylex Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I’ve signed up for paid up webpage checker things and have now just realised that they didn’t even do a sale last year ??♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Avalo-adofthat! Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'd be interested in getting involved in the competition spreadsheet too - I have tickets - was lucky enough to get through in the general sale and again for a friend in the resale... After years of not getting past the holding page (always friends who got through) I feel I have a lucky streak going on atm! I've actually had an account on here (but always lurked) since 2007! No idea of my log in details though so will set up another account and keep an eye on this thread and how to get involved. Share the love!

moheetoes Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I’ve ruled myself out for any potential secret resale this year, so I’ve deleted myself from spreadsheet too, and the only one of my family who got a ticket in October (who was in a separate buying group) has now put his ticket back. i’m happy to help out others if it happens though, crossing everything for all of you keeping the faith.

Ozanne Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 The spreadsheet idea is to buddy up with someone that doesn’t have a ticket and to enter competitions on their behalf, with a new email address but their name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcrawler Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 My barcode wouldn't scan either so I just handed over the phone and said there was instructions at the bottom, that seemed to do the trick but there was still a bit of a queue building behind me.

DareToDibble Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I don’t know why but I feel like this Guardian one might be the most successful for someone on here. I can’t imagine many “casuals” buying the paper every day for 2 weeks. Especially not at £3.20!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
