Unfortunately didn't manage to get one in the sale, which seems to have been particularly challenging due to the day change. We had around 30 people trying to get through for us, but sadly all gone in a few mins. Oh well, into genpop we go!

Crikey that is a brutal outcome from so many trying.

Glad we managed to get other people's camper tickets and bell tents though. We had an offer to get a WV tent, but would prefer to be in the slums with our mates than have to deal with security every time we want to go back to the tent. Also - f that hill if it's a rainy one!

Having a lot of trouble understanding what someone would want with a giant tipi all to themselves at a festival like Glastonbury, especially at such an absurd cost

 

What are you gonna do in there, set up a racquetball court?

Surely what people spend their money on is of no concern to you? The poster has said earlier that it is something he has always wanted to try and decided this was the year and that he has been saving for such a case. I would love to stay in the Tipi village as it has to be the best location on site but have never had the funds nor the friends to make it a viable option. 

[FatAmmy]

Do what you want, I suppose. I reserve the right to not get it

Sorry is that aimed at me?

Anyone know when the car park opens for wv? Is it the same as other car parks that opens Tuesday evening.  We have a long drive and like to arrive early to miss traffic. The last time we were at the view was the year of the mud 2016 and the traffic as you all know was horrendous.

I imagine you'd be quite pissed off to know I usually take a 6-8man tent into gen pop for 1. Sorry I'm a big guy who likes some space

Plenty of space in gen pop for everyone. Are you 12 feet tall??

Nah just over half that though 6'5. I do like the extra space and separate bedroom and storage area although my feet still stick out into the porch/middle bit

yes, we have a caravan and 2 campers in CV East (quiet) along with a couple of tents for 12 of us.. Also got an extra camper for friends that will be trying for tickets in the resale.. Now all the stress is out of the way can just plan to enjoy...

In 2015 we managed to get a CV ticket through an informal redistribution that was organised on here. Is something similar likely to happen this year? We have festival tickets but failed in the CV sale earlier. Coming with kiddies this year so camper vans essential for us this time.. Any advice massively appreciated.

@Bonedaddy usually ran this, with the exception of 2014 when I did. Sadly this is no longer an option as passes are now linked to your ticket and it's against the terms and conditions to resell them.

However, don't despair as lots became available in both 2016 and 2017. Why not set up a WhatsApp group for eFesters who also need a pass to join? Then if someone sees they are back on sale they can alert the rest of the group.

Create the thread in the Questions page if you decide to go ahead. It will be a lot easier to manage than buying and selling like we did! Hope you decide to do this as it will help a lot of currently worried posters! ?

Doesn't open till Wednesday morning . 2016 we came down bit later but still got stuck in traffic for couple of hours.  Other than that driven in and out really easy

Well that’s screwed me up a bit. Staying in the local premier inn Sunday and Monday night for a wee extra holiday in the town and decided not to bother with the Tuesday as we thought the car park would open during Tuesday night. In the past have spent the Tuesday night in the car parks.

but you could put their registration into the same booking page too.

There is no reason for a single registration to have multiple campervan tickets.

Our friend couldn't use our registration details as we do not have tickets (yet).

So they needed to use their registration details, and all going well we will travel in together. 

If we don't get tickets, then the CV pass can be cancelled and all we loose is £10

Anyone fancy being part of a whatsApp group to alert each other when campervan tickets go back on sale? Apparently over the years they just become available now and then before the re sales.

I have 6 people in a group already, so send me your mobile if your interested, the only thing you have to do is keep your eyes peeled on here or social media and let the group know straight away

@Travis Tee is running a WhatsApp group for Campervan pass resales over in Questions - here's a link to it.

Still no joy getting in touch with See Tickets on the phone, seems they are just playing the "Experiencing a high number of calls" and then a hang up.  (Awful customer service!)

I still have a >8m bath and west camper ticket to sell/cancel.
