Even though it could be I'm still trying for them! 

Cheers @DareToDibble, I know you where in this situation last year so you know our pain. 😀

 

Yeah that’s definitely best... Secure tickets first, sort the work issue out second  

Yeah I know all of your pain. It’s not a nice place to be! Keep spirits up though as it sounds like there will be a small army trying for you all... volunteering (if an option) doesn’t seem to have carried over so that’s a fresh chance, plus competitions!

Will be trying for coach pretty much anywhere handy to an airport that I can fly over from!

Hi all! How is everyone?

Just wanted to pop in to suggest trying for coach as well as GA. It gives you 4 chances rather than 2 and getting a coach has to be better than not going at all!

We had a group of 12. Only 1 got through in coach sale and only 1 in GA. If we hadn’t tried for both then only 6 of us would have secured tickets. Give it a go  

As before I’m around to help in all 4 sales!

I propose anyone who already has tickets and secures them for someone in Resale Club gets a Bonnie Tyler T-shirt to wear to the efests meet.

If I get tickets I'll get the wig and an inflatable motorcycle. Never mind a t shirt if someone gets mine. 😀

I'd cough up for actual Bonnie Tyler to kiss-a-gram the ticket buyer.

Damn out of upvotes  

[Crazyfool01]

I wouldn’t dare promise things to whoever gets mine ... might put them off trying

According to this report 40% of people who had coachella tickets have requested a refund, whilst the whilst this might be different for Glastonbury as it's only a deposit but it might give a bit more hope.

Yea the amount that would be tied up in Coachella tickets will be massive compared to the Glastonbury deposit, but it gives hope.

Tell you what @Big durbs, @blutarsky, @crazyfool1, myself and all the resale club are holding on for a hero on ticket day. We don't want a total eclipse of the heart! It's a heartache and we just might to have to get lost in France if we fail! 

Few obscure Bonnie references there for you!

Perfect glasto weather here , thunder and lightening

[semmtexx]

Caning it down here too. Few strikes of lightening too. If I was off to Pilton next week I'd be proper worried!

Or telling myself it'll just keep the dust down!

Hope you're Thatchers is a true delight.

I understand exactly how you feel. Still crazy busy at work and the sense of just how much I wish I was going to the farm is overwhelming. Maybe it's just me or do you think it's even worse for us resalers because we know there's a chance we won't be there next year as well. Think this weekend I'll start reliving some of my favourite memories to keep me going. 

Keep on keeping on for now and next year (fingers crossed) we'll all be there and we'll enjoy it all the more.

Hiyah all.

hope you’re all doing well and sorry I’ve not been in here much this year but I wanted to wish you all a happy Glastonbury week (even though we didn’t get tickets).

I hope you’ve all managed to stay safe and sane so far through the pandemic.

My dad ended up in hospital on oxygen whilst we were on holiday just before Xmas (which was terrifying enough even without the virus) and with him currently being on the ‘shielded’ list I’ve been busy through the pandemic trying to ensure my parents are ok, fed and kept indoors.

my thoughts are now turning to Glasto and all of us here who didn’t get tickets and those who did but still can’t be there - there’ll be mixed emotions for sure for everyone, so I’m spending the next week catching up in here and doing minor planning for next weekends events.

 

 

[vintagelaureate]

@moheetoes I wish your Dad, your family and yourself all the best. 

My daughter is on the highly vulnerable list so my time has been spent containing her which is is difficult as she has little understanding of the situation! 

It will definitely be a week of mixed emotions; I'm not doing any special preparation for next week. I will enjoy some of the sets etc., enjoy watching what others are doing on here and then thoughts turn towards a hopeful success in the resale. 

Take care.

 

[moheetoes]

Thanks @vintagelaureate I hope your daughter manages to get through this, it’s difficult when loved ones don’t fully understand and thanks @Big durbs, dad is doing ok and my mother hasn’t killed him yet - it’ll be strange and interesting for them when they’re eventually allowed out having only seen distancing and shopping queues on the TV.

Facebook memories are great at this time of year, however I haven’t been to glasto since 2017, I haven’t been that lucky with tickets  in recent years but hoping to secure some for next year at some point.

stay safe everyone and have a great week, weather is going to be good for glasthomebury.
