How Big Is Your Team?

[nikkic]

So how big is your ticket team? 

We’ve got 18 in total this time around.

All going for tickets on Sunday, nobody fancied the coach. 

 

[Kalopsia]

At the moment it is just 2 of us...We had 15 last year but this year only 2.

[Crazyfool01]

its currently 2 groups of 6 ... but with various helpers ... helping one group and some helping both groups ... its big enough and its growing as I manage to enlist others  

[Sasperella]

30. Too many!!! There will definitely be some men (and women) down... Hoping to cross off as many in the coaches as possible

[HeyPorter]

10 going for gold on Sunday. Couple of offshoot groups I’m keeping in touch with to help & vice versa if anything comes. 

[Slugworth]

6 for us, Sunday attempt. Bricking it!

[sophiemarie]

Seven groups, thirty-six punters... but am anticipating quite a few freeloaders come Thursday ?

[UEF]

An annoying 7 last year. Think we've got 10 this year.

 

A political question for you all. You get in - how do you select the 5 others that come with you if you might only get one bite of the cherry?

I put my best friend and every year glastonbury goer along with the people who have had past ticket buying sucess and have a passion for talking Glastonbury at non Glastonbury times of the year 

[brettredmayne]

Think we have 15, couple with very young kids so can't do the coach

The rest of us are going to try Thursday to just give ourselves another chance

Bit of an unspoken arrangement, but we split the groups before sale day according to who would logically have the most fun together.

I can't tell is that's genius or even more political

It adds a whole other scheming level, especially when you consider who is more likely to get tickets. There are multiple secret WhatsApp groups.

[T-Mouse]

After this year our groups expanded. We have 75 names in the spreadsheet so far

[AmazingAbby]

I think we have a group of 6 then some friends in a 4. I feel like 4 of the 6 might drop out though as they have a house move planned next year. So maybe we'll have a well rounded 6 for the first time ever.

4(+1) in one group... 2(+1) in the other... I'm floating in between... depending on who gets through first. 

[pahqman]

10, with 6 being the main goers but there's a couple making it 7...    :/

[The Clearest Blue]

36 at today’s count, all trying coach and then GA if unsuccessful, doesn’t get any easier organising everyone into groups!

[FuzzyDunlop]

12... too many

[thrillhouse188]

We have 10 this year, with one who has friends also trying now asking if we should team up with them, not sure if it's worth the extra aggro though!

dangerous , if both try, you could end up blocking the other group. Always stick to one group only

[northernringo]

5 in our group and hoping to get some family/friends to help out too!

I see your point, but we're all on WhatsApp writing back and forth, so for us it's not really a problem. I should clarify actually, that the fifth person in group 1 is a bit of a outlier (they only know one other person), so if either group got through, we'd put in the top six and then keep trying for the 7th. Seven it seems is a difficult number...

In the nicest possible way, don't do this to your friends.

A friend (more a friend of a friend) caused us all to lose out a few years ago by going with another group as well.  By the time we'd entered his number with the others and it said already purchased, worked it out, removed and tried again, it was all over.

I had this last year. Not for me, I was sorted in the Coach sale but my friend.

It was heartbreaking at the time luckily we got him sorted for the resale.
