uscore Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I don't reckon they'll all be disqualified, it's just that each registration will only be entered once. Subsequent attempts to enter a registration will be discarded, regardless of whether lead entrant or guest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or they're using it to get a more accurate count of the number of registrations that are still active. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly. Glastonbury tend not to do anything just 'once'. Not sure I like the sound of it, but I suppose 50 pairs won't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukemack Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 So if you enter the ballot and put someone else Reg as the guest, csn they enter the ballot and put yours as there guest? Or will that make it invalid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 emily did talk of a ballot last year at her talk in Taunton .... hopefully this is as far as it goes .... does seem odd that they had decided that early for only 50 tickets ... so yes maybe an ongoing plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C's say the entrant is the 1st named registration on the entry. It is not really clear but the way I read that is two registrations could enter as alternatively lead and guest on two ballot entries. May be wrong though! EDIT - seems I am wrong as the comments on that tweet seem to have people that have tried that and had the second entry rejected!!

All they will do is make a great big list of each registration number entered, then Remove Duplicates = leave one instance of each registration number but delete any subsequent entries of the same reg number. Then they'll remove any reg numbers that appear in their list of coach or general sale bookings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hez Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Would've been clearer if they had set it up like the ticket buying process. i.e. if you try and enter the ballot with a registration that has already been entered it stops the entry with the message "this registration number has already been entered into the ballot".

I think it confirms when you've entered which registration numbers you've used so I don't think it really matters who is 1st and who is 2nd. I my be wrong but I think it'll be 1 entry per person regardless of whether you are first or second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's the impression I got when I saw the confirmation of the two registration numbers I entered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I like the sound of it, but I suppose 50 pairs won't hurt. For all of the reasons echoed elsewhere, a full ballot feels like it would be a worse option than the current system, but perhaps they will now hold a certain number of tickets back each year for a small ballot? While my experiences of ticket buying success and failure over the years strongly lead me to believe it's mostly a question of luck currently anyway, a small sub-ballot would at least allow them to say that there is a pool of tickets for which all applicants have a completely equal chance (providing you can get round the multiple registrations issue somehow).

squirrelarmy Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 For all those quoting me above I’ll make an easy reply instead if a monster multi-quote. If they are using this as a test run for next year I’m hoping they are looking at ways of limiting or tracking multiple registrations. If a ballot system is going to happen in the future, being able to limit people to a single entry is key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettredmayne Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Entered , doubt this is the future and maybe used as some sort of incentive after tickets are sold out don’t fancy my chances but at least you can’t enter multiple times which is fair it’s easy for glastonbury to do a check for multiple records by post code, think maybe it’s time to have a purge on registrations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiveruk Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I was fortunate enough to get a ticket - but one of my friends just tried with 2 registration numbers and it's coming up that they're both already registered.. anyone else having this issue?

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’ve bought the book, no email about entering any draw. I’ve also booked tickets to see ME talk at the Yeovil literary festival at the end of this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example by next October I can guarantee I'll have a second registration against my parents address, probably a 3rd against my sisters address, and maybe a few beyond that. And for the large syndicates that some people have been moaning about recently, imagine 100 people each with 100 registrations against 100 different postcodes.
