I hope so!? of course everyone has a chance it might be small but it is a chance ... in my branch there were about 15 awaiting collection ... waterstones has 283 branches ... that makes 4245 copies for collection ... I collected early and was one of the first to get it .... so we just need to add the copies that were delivered now ... so 10,000 isn't so far off for waterstones I would say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if about 10000 entered the ballot then that's substantially better odds. Having said that, I'll still take them!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so only me and the Mrs. one entry per card so cardholder is one of the people the other needs to be declared within 24 hours if I remember rightly ... so thinking about it you could be the extra person if you brought more copies Edited November 3, 2019 by crazyfool1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Re the book Interesting the discussions on here that the price varies from retailer to retailer. To be honest reading all the comments on how absolutely enthralling it is I reckon it’s been underpriced, should be at least thirty quid. Maybe that would have helped the ticket lottery for the dedicated on here. Taking my tongue out of my cheek I will admit I got someone else to buy my copy for my Xmas! The only drawback being I won’t see it until then. Anyway help will be offered come ticket resale Edited November 3, 2019 by Ayrshire Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagelaureate Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 I still wonder the reasoning behind the ballot. Although it is a little ray of hope over the next few days. I'd love (us) to get sorted pre resale. That'd be magic going into the winter months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAlex Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Waterstones responded to somebody with the small print saying it will be within 6 working days of it closing, so could be waiting until the end of the week to find out. Quite nervous now, two of my potential routes into Glasto could be ruled out this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagelaureate Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm actually speculating when the emails will go out. Surely, it'll be computerised and could be done automatically? Any one seen any news on any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettredmayne Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I presume after its done Glastonbury will tweet saying congratulations to the winners I have had my ipad in front of me all morning with my email app, I know the chances are slim though so I am not building up my hopes.
