I know there hasn’t been any for a couple of years now though, just asking out of curiosity (just in case - ha!) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netspy Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 13 hours ago, nusha said: Also....I've jut done the first of my daily checks on the See tickets page and got to a booking page asking for up to 4 registrations for deposit payments. Of course I tried and got a message says admission tickets currently unavailable!! Bit strange though - why has it changed from 6 to 4 tickets and why for deposits only?? I know the April resale will be for 4 tickets only but payment in full will be due straight away - no deposits. Is something going to happen between now and then?? https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/event/glastonbury-2020-deposits/worthy-farm/1450000 The page resurfaced as the winners of the ballot were announced. I guess the winners were allowed to use their registration numbers in this sale and thus bypass the "Admission tickets are currently unavailable" message.

I may be completely wide of the mark with this but if they’re actually going to the lengths of putting something in to mess up page checkers could that mean they’re going to do secret sales again this year? Just not sure why they would bother otherwise? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I guess checkpage would stand out, as i strongly suspect it's the most-regular visitor to that particular page. Alternatively (tho less likely, I think), is that the guy from glasto that runs the ticketing might have told see to crack down on it, as he's aware of checkpage's existence (cos I asked him how he'd feel if people were using it [not particularly happy was the short answer, tho that was several years ago]). Which ever it is, it's annoying that it's been blocked, but I'm not really annoyed at them for blocking it. It's something they're entitled to do and there'll be fair reasoning behind it. Anyway, I think I can fix it. Will hopefully get that done soon. Edited November 6, 2019 by eFestivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking they won't really know how it's being used, only that it's hitting their page a lot - which is suspicious in itself, if you don't want people 'cheating' the system.

Quite likely, they do that from time to time, I was on a limited page last March when as a guest of FMS it would accept my registration number but wouldn't of course allow anything that wasn't registered with them. It's a lovely experience to go through the usual ticket buying system with no time pressure at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
