Lawks! It's only the 2019 Next Announcement Thread!

[Gnomicide]

I think we might get Shangri-la.

Stand by our beds?

[Ayrshire Chris]

Trust me to look at this thread first thing in the morning. That’s the day now going to be dominated by constantly checking for announcements. 

[Quark]

I blame Neil

And, obviously @Gnomicide (AHTT)

What would you expect to be in the next announcement, Neil? Lots of names like the first poster or specific areas?

I've got no expectations. Glastonbury like to mix it up so it could be anything.

if there's going to be one I'll be surprised if it's later than 10am. 

The point behind it will be for the word to go round today (to prompt balance payments) - because word doesn't travel as well at weekends.

What’s the logic of prompting balance payments @eFestivals? If people don’t pay their balance GFLtd make £20(?) per non refundable plus whole new ticket price.

Avoiding having to deal with 3 months of anguished pleading and complaints from people who forget to settle up.

because the £20 is probably about worthless - there's work related to that - and I'm thinking that Glastonbury won't want the percentage of people paying their balances to drop lower than it's been in other years if they can help it.

I'm thinking that they'll be thinking that sometimes they have to nudge their popularity along else they risk their popularity dipping permanently

And i'm basing that on the idea that less people will be paying their balances because there's something a bit less special (with big names) about this year's line-up compared to the norm.

Ok thanks, yeah makes sense if it’s about rep and targets and stuff

But Twitter users are so reasonable about stuff like that

The annual, astonishing tirade of vitriol from people who are, in essence, complaining that they went to the toilet, and are now furious as they were given completely inadequate, multi-platform, repeated reminders to wipe their own ars......

I see.

Seems to be a few Rabbit Hole confirmations. Perhaps something from the Park today? 

[Divein]

It's also better for Glastonbury to have more people with tickets than going back on the pot and then have to put up for sale again. We probably know it's going to sell out again in the resale but you want to keep the percentage chance of that not happening as low as possible.

Plus it probably costs them a bit more to shift more tickets.

there's also been a first for acoustic stage.

Tho it might just be because they were told it'd be announced after 1st April and they've got impatient so done it themselves.

The words "Really soon" are EXACTLY what I want to be seeing on this thread. Very good.

And also because they're really just super lovely and would hate to think of anyone being shunned by friends and family for forgetting to settle up before the deadline and ruining everyones festival

[crocodiles]

Really how can people forget to pay surely someone in a group would be on the case of others saying we have to pay .

It's like people who turn up at airports without passports ?

Or the people who are 10 minutes late back to the coach at a service station

[John the Moth]

20,000 tickets back in the pot = $400,000 cash out now vs $4,000,000 cash in now.

Of course they want people to pay balances ASAP

Bring on an announcement

I used to wonder this about passports....and yet this guy I was seeing was an absolute nightmare for it. He'd not only forgotten his passport on two occasions when he was going on holiday, but another time in Italy he left his passport in Napoli and only realised when we were in Milan, from where we were flying out two days later. 

Fortunately he will never be in charge of paying for my Glastonbury ticket

Somethings are to important to leave the disorganised in charge of ?

Maybe DAngelo is going to get added and removed again ... what a strange episode that was
