Pretty sure I did when I worked Reading but that was years back. You pay the full fee as a deposit to volunteer. However if you cancel before the deadline you get all the money less the deadline.

Thankfully got them Happy to help come next April - having been in resale club numerous times Thanks! Friendly, cheering and helpful - and this is why this is a great forum.

Mackem Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Apologies if this has been addressed already here - I've not read the whole thread. When I was trying for coach tickets on Thursday (for friends) I kept finding Reading and London selling out as I chose them. When it comes to the resale my intention is to be as flexible as possible, so I'm prepared to get the coach - single or return - from anywhere. My question is do we have a feel for which departure points are the least popular/easiest to get a ticket. And are singles more popular? I have a friend lives in the West Country and found Truro sold out but Plymouth was an easier/less popular option, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you did incredibly well getting that far tbh, that's further than pretty much everyone I know who tried - although I'm sorry that's little consolation. Logically there would be more going from London, but then of course there would be more people either going from there or prepared to compromise and travel there if required.

Actually it's weirder than that. When I put my payment through and - eventually - I got a 'no way', I clicked back as is normal on the site. It was then I realised that my London-Weds choice had sold out and I chose Reading-Weds. Same process, then London-Thurs, nope.. When I clicked back again. I noticed that five of the 6 names had vanished from the registrations. There was no way back from that without refreshing and going back in the queue. I've never seen it malfunction like that. Or at least I can't imagine what I could have done to have caused those names to disappear, if it wasn't a malfunction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in one respect I am lucky that I’ve managed to go in previous years. Looking for tips! When it comes to the sale, does anyone start madly refreshing before 9am? I start bang on 9am and I dunno if that’s my problem as by that point I’m maybe already out the game. Sorry to hear this, don’t think you did anything wrong, I refresh before 9am and this method usually works for me too, just proves how random the whole process is. Really hope you get lucky in the resales. Charm x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wweerr208 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 It's taken me 2 to 3 days to fully realise i don't have a ticket - gutted did any one get a ticket in any ninja / secret sales AFTER the Resales last year - I'm assuming I'm not going to be successful in the resales :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say they are a thing of the past so certainly do not expect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there seemed to be a lot of people posting that they had odd failures at later levels, in some cases multiple attempts to put payments through. I'd guess these are a consequence of the massive levels of traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sheet once shared allows you to add your details and there was a tab for coach and a tab for GA. Once the resale was approaching, we asked people to re-verify if they were still interested - we filtered out a lot of people this way as some were no longer active on the forum. I think your idea to have a early cut off is a good one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanSmith9311 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 got mine in the resale in 2017 so holding out hope - despite it being the anniversary year. Out of curiosity, is there a list somewhere of how many resale tickets have been available each year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stt11 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi Guys!!! Returning to the resale club again. Some of you might remember me from last time!! I didn't do that badly. I got to the bit after the registration details. It said it had sold out of deposits on the bottom of the page. I too and frowed a bit, with the back button; then it just went straight back to the home screen and it was all over- no ticket!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloom92 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Unfortunately, if I do go, I think I’ll be going alone. Was planning to go with my so but he’s worried that glasto is becoming more and more mainstream esp in view of the rapid sell out of tickets. Has anyone been alone before? Not sure if it’d be much fun really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it’d be much fun really. I went alone in 2016 & 2017. I joined a group of other solo's and it turned out to be the greatest thing I ever did at a festival! Total freedom - go where you want, when you want, without having to care what anyone else things or what they want to do. Great bunch of new friends that I meet at almost every festival now. It was life-changing. It may not be that extreme for anyone else, but I totally recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
