TheGoodWillOut Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Lady luck is shining on me , won the national lottery last night so I think i'll be giving this ballot a go too. I didn't actually win the £170 million I should add, just a lucky dip. Another "look what you could've won" moment after missing sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have the time it took for tickets to sell out for 2020 on it. Whilst I appreciate Mr @Gnomicide you have other things to do in your life, someone at work asked me how long it took to sell out. I confidently told them "check this website out, this tells you everything" & it wasn't there. I'd bigged the thingy up as well. Please can this be updated? Coach sale - 27 Mins General sale - 34 Mins Thanks. My laptop's playing up a bit and using the phone ap is a pain on the arse but I should be on it tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukethekid Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Changing to a ballot system just completely takes away from experience of T-day. The work and organisation that goes in to it and the determination and willing to secure a ticket. The only thing that I was missing was war paint on Sunday morning.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I’d be happy for there to be a ballot going forward but for no more than about 5k tickets. Anymore then it’s a victory for the lazy brainless entitled Idiots who think that switching on their computer automatically qualifies them for a ticket. They still won’t get a ticket and will in fact be even less likely to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaKate Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I think I've realized what their thought process is with this ballot. The issue is they have 2.4 million registrations, people with multiple connections, and actually have no way to calculate how much interest their is in the festival. Using this ballot you get people with active registrations who just failed entering for tickets. They'd be able to gauge how many people are actually trying this year based on how many people enter the ballot. Sure there will be some loss in numbers but I imagine every person who wants to be there is going to be entering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite that I dare say people will be delirious to be told they had to pay for them when picked out. Fair play, I'd still bite an Eavii hand off for a ticket. Anyway, I'm in the draw, roll on Nov. 4th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
