Buying Glasto tickets when on holiday

Hi, I will be on holiday in France (uk resident)  when tickets go on sale. Does anyone know if it’s possible that IF I get through I can still purchase tickets normally as my id and billing will be UK-based?

Theres info on the official site but it’s about permanent overseas residents 

 

thanks

tom

Thanks was just checking. I thought maybe the website would know I’m going through a non-uk server so the see tickets website will be in French I assume.

im not technical so probably stupid question but wanted to check 

 

You'll be fine, there are often folks who post after T day that the members of their group who attempted from overseas were the successful ones, so fingers crossed for you.

I've purchased tickets while in France previously. I used my normal reg and UK credit card. Everything was identical to purchasing when in the UK.

I was surprised I succeeded though, given that I was sailing in rough seas in the Bay of Biscay at the time!!

Give it 2 hours and all ferries and Eurotunnel will be fully booked by ‘savvy’ efesters ?

Imagine the trick being the people with the remotest access to internet get through first. Carnage in the Arctic circle.

We're away this Tday on (late) Honeymoon. Told the Mrs (well, gently informed, if I told I'd be a deep trouble!) that come what may I will be up at 9am on Sunday morning. 

(oo-er)
