We do ours on a Google spreadsheet by invitation only. The best advice I can give is to ensure you group people into 4's to maximise your chances in the resale and have a "tickets got" value cell to change it to yes so helpers can quickly see who needs help. Our group of 193 managed 97 yesterday and Thursday combined. The biggest problem with the resale is everyone having 4 x full payment in your bank account! Good luck and shout out if I can help you in any way. How do you add new people to the list? I’d be interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretFish Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Sounds like a similar level of organisation required for 2020! Lot of trust and communication involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, think about this would work if you were in Michael's position. You wouldn't be sat there reading thru long begging letters day after day, you'd give them a quick glance at most, and then read a bit longer for anything that managed to grab your attention with that first glance.

Me, i'd say the more you say &/or send the less likely it is to be read. Michael isn't just sat there doing nothing, waiting for your letter to fill his time. Keep this at the top of your mind!

eFestivals Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) PS: if you really want to send a long letter with attachments, then do a short one too, and then you're (in theory) doubling your chances. Just don't send both on the same day, or make both look the same by (for example) doing them in the same pen.

BOBBY_FIRMINO Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Been moping around since Sunday. Was adamant I wasn't going to bother trying in the resale due to the fear of being hurt again but I've finally pulled myself together & that Diana Ross announcement has helped me refocus my eyes right back on the prize 6 months to build my index muscles up for the big one in April - let's fucking have it!

I always said I would never try in the resales but the moment I failed I knew I had to have a go. Will make other plans and book a couple of small festivals just in case the worst happens but feeling really positive, we can do this, wishing you lots of luck.

Charm x Same, most of my mates are already sorted so I'd rather fail with the peace of mind knowing that I did everything I could to be there, because I know if I passed up on the chance to bag another ticket I'd feel sick by the time the festival comes round! Very best of luck to yourself too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charm x Think money / planning has a lot to do with it too. A lot of people will weigh up if it's worth keeping a few hundred quid aside til the middle of April when it could all essentially be for nothing. People also like to get their summer plans sorted fairly early & might have to pass up on other opportunities because they're holding out for the possibility of a Glasto ticket, which I imagine is a pretty stressful decision to make too Edited October 10, 2019 by BOBBY_FIRMINO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
