Had they stopped it ? 

they were offering 2 crates as a substitute prize .... so anyone with codes make sure they are inputted or given to someone that needs the tickets remembering that the prizes cant be given away ... so its the person that they ring plus one other I believe

Am I correct, you can only get the prize cider from Tesco?

Pretty much yes ... needs to have the codes for 2020 on them

The Mallets thing is a bit hilarious for those who don't like cider or Mallets but got some anyway. I'm desperate for them to win now and get those crates. I know that's a good bit of bastardry on my part, but it would be funny. Come on...it would, right?

My friends have been drinking it on my behalf ... I got them bus tickets so they are desperate to get me tickets ... I’ve purchased one 12 pack myself and have 4 cans left ... can’t say it’s particularly nice ... and I like cider

Arguably if you like cider, you don't like Mallets.

I’m afraid Tauntons sold out ... anywhere else you would consider ? 

[Crazyfool01]

So who’s gonna be checking just in case then ? 

[vintagelaureate]

I thought I'd give it a go...

After about 40 seconds I got a holding page on an incognito tab, just the white page - you are held in a queue, 20 second etc.... - I manually refreshed and the page was gone. 

Never got it back. 

Odd.

Who’s up at 9am on Sunday then ? 

Always on the off chance. 

I tried again earlier and got a version of the holding screen. Really odd. I managed to screenshot it - I've sent it over to @crazyfool1!

Very strange ... anyone got any explanations ?

not sure , but i do wonder if you got through what would you have to pay , technically it should be the whole amount for 2020 , but . of course that is now rolled over to 21 and the £50 deposit stands  , they have not said how much it will be for next year ( i suspect £10 more as that seams to be the norm ).

that said , i will still be trying on sunday 🙂

 

£280 is a lot of money. I've been exploring cheaper festivals on the internet all year. Those that are cheaper, seem to be cheaper all round. The travel seems cheaper; there's less trouble getting there, than some of the larger festivals and so on. You can go to Bluedot and one of the Rewind festivals for £150 each.

So I considered just trying to get a volunteer place for Glastonbury 2021. Saying that, I still would have bought a coach ticket, if there was a sale last night. Although I am beginning to wonder about the practicality of such a large festival. It's a bit eccentric. I miss the old ways. 😀

Did you hit the refresh limit? That might still give the holding screen.

No, it was a different screen to that - I tested it as a theory! 😆

After reading your post earlier. I did the f5 thing rapidly and got a white screen holding page. That's the one you normally get by refreshing too much. It's some sort of detour thing. I'd got that last year, messing about on the ticket page, without a sale. It sounds like you got a different one, maybe, or maybe they're all different nowadays.

When I refreshed my white screen, it just refreshed. It wasn't like yours; it didn't disappear. I tried the ticket page at 6pm and 6.30pm and got nothing. I don't understand why they'd pay so much for all that flashy lettering and stuff and not use that sort of ticket page. You'd expect flashy secret sales and stuff. Seems a waste. Especially as no-one has anything better to do.🙂

It’s like a lot of things , it’s dependent on how you look at it.

its a lot of money for a gig. But ...... I look at it this way , 

1:- if there are three or four acts that you would pay to go and see , then the average act is £80 ish plus travel, hotel and paying over the odds for drinks , then Glasto is a winner.

🙂

I generally agree but not all of those gigs are in a field, you are indoors as well for gigs. Many people just travel and from, there is no hotel used necessarily.

I do think as much as there is value there, if you have seen the vast majority of things over a number of years at Glastonbury then paying £280 for what you could do for £180 essentially is a big increase. £50 likely by next year is a lot for car parking too. 

I will add though, as much as Oxfam working provided good campsites, access to hot water for noodles etc, better toilets, laughs between workers and close to car camping which ultimately meant a lot of stages were far away, I would not swap it for a ticket itself. Luckily for me it worked out not so bad act wise for me, bar one act maybe I got to see who I wanted to but I can imagine it being a nightmare if not.

I applied for WaterAid and Poo Crew last year. I got on the waiting list for Poo Crew. I seem to remember their website said something about them being sympathetic if there's a particular show you want to see. That doesn't sound too bad. 

I tend to hang around the fringes of the festival too much. The thing with a volunteer job, is that it would give me a method of getting up and out more. That's why I've started to like the idea of volunteering.🙂

I didn't request to see to an act or put my details down to be contacted as the shift change board was crazy. I got to see baggy mondays and rhythm of the 90s albeit i was up for work with not much sleep the next day. Had worthy view gate entrance twice which is a trek but then had the 1st vehicle gate 5 mins away from camp which was easy on the last and Sunday after some sleep from early afternoon to night.

The only act I'd have probably made effort to ask to see was The Killers and naturally if they make allowance for that you will need to cover a time when you might not have seen the acts before at all. I saw Ezra, Janelle Monae, Kylie, Miley, Liam, The Lumineers and i was shattered before Charlatans came om but that's late night Thursday and cider catching up. Rodney Branigan which was better on a smaller stage, Johnny Marr and Carl Cox. I missed Anne Marie....but that was more do me not realising she was of interest to me for a couple of songs, and Hozier but that was a Carl Cox clash so chose someone I'd not really seen previous. Bananarama and Years and Years...chose against the time before so a box tick and Elvana. Didnt get to pangea. I don't think there was anything else bar Anne Marie which I should have looked into more but I done my 2nd shift after a late Thursday so part of me wasn't even awake lol.
