Zoo Music Girl Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 You guys all know he's a troll, right? He's been trying to get bites for days and it's been quite funny to see most attempts ignored/drowned out in the scrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCInferno Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I read your post out loud and fully burst out laughing for at least ten minutes and I swear I'm not exaggerating. The limits of condescending language that been pushed to a new level there. Thanks mate, I really need that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to discuss who exactly is hoovering up all these tickets. It annoys me to assume, but yet lets face it- rationally conclude, that those getting tickets are probably well off individuals with 12 devices all connected to the website, who get tickets every single year. Worse still, once they are there, probably only ever go to the big main stages to see all the pop music and post on Instagram. Whilst there is certainly room for everyone(although clearly not enough!) and all walks of life at Glastonbury, it is negatively affected by over representation of the above demographic. Many of them probably don't even take drugs, just sit at their campsite in wellies (despite there being no mud) drinking 4 cans of warm Strongbow per day, despite not actually liking it, just because 'that's what you drink at a festival'. It would be ideal if at least 50% of the tickets were somehow distributed to what i would call 'genuine' festival goers. As in, the types who go to 4 or 5 a year, now how to have the party until 6am. Not Jennifer who works in Canary Wharf in the finance department, only ever goes to Glastonbury and when she hears the words Shangri-La, thinks its the hotel at the top of the Shard. If Jennifer were to go to Boomtown, she's probably leave on account of being too scared of the music. If things continue the way they are going, Glastonbury will soon end up similar to Coachella. Something needs to be done, im not sure how, but it does. Nutty as a fruit cake old son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefykoala Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I think he raises a really excellent point actually. So good, in fact, that I created a Google Form so you can in fact verify if you're a Genuine Festival Goer and are therefore morally allowed to get tickets to this festival (or whatever it is). https://forms.gle/rcWR2KQ3kA1uxLey5 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 This may have been answered but what % of total tickets are coach tickets. I’m trying for tickets for the second time and like the naive newbie I appear to be was just aiming for Sunday.....on the plus side I did manage to register myself and my girlfriend in time this year so it is progress on last years attempt when I only registered myself ?
