Looking forward to that arriving anyhow (though ticket less status makes it a bit of a torture). On that note if anyone else has bought the book did you get some kind of email to say you'd been entered into the draw? I mean the Waterstones draw btw. Not that I'm clutching at straws.... oh no not at all. I didn't get an email about the draw, just an order confirmation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 What I can't wait for is all the people on twitter who are complaining it should be a ballot (I actually saw someone started a petition for it!! ) will need to find something new to moan about when they don't win tickets in this years.... ballot. With any lucky all the winners are from eFests. Good luck everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely ageist though (but one of my group falls into that category so could be a winning idea for her) how do they know they are 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukethekid Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 They should just do it Willy Wonka style and put them in chocolate bars, that or them blue packets you used to get in Walkers crisps, when 99.9% of the time you just won a...... free packet of crisps.

You have to be 18 to buy tickets though? So it would’ve been relevant to give a date of birth. Though can’t remember now if I gave mine.

uscore Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 If they are going to start doing ballots on a regular basis I'm going to create about 50 registrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogeggs Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 That explains why registration is still closed....so only those currently registered who missed out last weekend can apply in the ballot. I think it's a sweet idea for the anniversary - 50 winners, 100 tickets. Albeit the odds of getting lucky are horrible.....but they always are. I can't see it allowing multiple entries to apply. I can only imagine that you'll have to use your existing reg number to enter into the ballot, and then if you're one of the lucky 50 winners - you can add a second reg when you get the magic link. If you buddy up, then you get two shots - your reg and your +1's reg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we won’t know the details until they release them but what are people’s guesses? sorry if not already suggested - but did they not say there would be camping under the Glastonbury on sea pier next year - 50 pre-erected tents under the pier maybe anyone?

uscore Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 yup, I've already got multiple registrations. If I hadn't already got tickets on Sunday I'd be entering them all into the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsonjack Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 4 hours ago, Mr.Tease said: Yeah, the odds of winning are essentially zero. I still think it's odd to not only have such a low amount of tickets, but on top of that you still have to pay for them- just seems a bit tight! ...which is why i think there will be something 'special' about them....a long-drop named after you?....your own long-drop?...

I imagine there’s no way. They’ll probably have hoped that there would be no reason for people to have multiple registrations to get the normal sale tickets. Since the ballot is announced after theoretically no more registrations can be done until it’s over (hopefully anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a presumption, but I imagine the vast majority have just the one reg number. I guess it'll depend on whether Glastonbury consider the current multiple reg's enough of a problem to worry about. Also - they must've kept registration closed for the sole purpose of avoiding further duplicates being created. If they had a solution to avoid multiple reg ballot entries I would've thought registration might've re-opened by now - it normally does by now doesn't it? Maybe they'll let it slide - maybe they'll have a multiple reg cull over the next few days? Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
