Mrumpus Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 It seems like Local ticket sales are announced pretty secretly and last minute. How do we find out about them? Do we keep checking the website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheddar Valley Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 This should be announced in local papers tomorrow. The Somerset Guardian and Shepton Gazette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybird33 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Do you think they'll do it later this year because of the ballot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 are they just Sunday tickets available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheddar Valley Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Had an email from Glastonbury yesterday saying no concrete info on both local/sunday tickets. Keep an eye out in the next couple of weeks. It will be before reg reopens on the 1st November Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheddar Valley Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I suspect next Thursday in local papers and then following Thursday for local sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyT Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 My sister has recently sold her house in Street. I should have marketed it on here due to its unique selling point of being in the local ticket catchment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strummer77 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) More tickets than usual to meet demand and the very close villages essentially guaranteed them. Think that’s a good, cost effective way for them to please locals and means almost all should get sorted.

JoeyT Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 £95 for a Sunday ticket seems very pricey mind. Swear it was around the £50 mark when I went on the Sunday back in 05 & 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfAnIdiot Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 First time they have zoned the sales. I guess that's to address some of the complaints about availability. It's only in recent years that local tix have been selling out in the same way as main sale tix which has caused some upset locally. There is wide suspicion that many locals have friends and relatives from out of the area registered at their home address these days. Unsurprising, given the overall demand for tix and the increasing desperation to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprising, given the overall demand for tix and the increasing desperation to get them. Wide suspicion? It’s fact. Until recently, all who those who wanted one still got sorted and it allowed local residents to take some close friends and family who were often just outside the boundary. Indeed I’m 100% sure I remember that the festival had actually (several years back when demand was not as high) even advertised it in the paper as allowing friends and family to attend. You even could change your registration to a local one right up until the date. However now that demand is higher a few it makes sense that the really close villages are guaranteed ones and there will be more available for the ‘outer circle’. Considering there’s 7000 extra coach tickets this year I guess they’ve been able to add a reasonable to the locals pot without substantially reducing those available to the wider public.

It’s to do with how they are affected/ disrupted. Sharp ham are not on the main road whereas street, Walton and ashcott are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Slightly off topic but having the festival must surely be a boost to the local economy, especially from folk like me who organise a holiday in Glastonbury and street around the festival.

I wonder how many tickets are being held back for 10am...as surely there must some to give the other towns at least a chance otherwise there will be uproar.

Huge boost, I worked at a local supermarket for few years and it was noticeably busier from around May when the site starts getting built.

The festival has a policy of using local suppliers where it can. This, plus the spend in local businesses add hugely to the local economy. There is also the not inconsiderable donations made to local organisations (school PTA, carnival clubs ete etc) made in return for stuarding duties to add to that. The economic contribution to the area was material to the turnaround of the festival from pariah to hero - once the local authority realised how much of a good thing the locality was on to (took a while tho).

kalifire Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 How come Pilton is listed as an area in which residents can “book” tickets? I thought the home crowd got complimentary tickets automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that is very noticeable, the town is buzzing before the festival, same goes for Street. We now also visit the area outwith festival time .
