I know it seemed like we were so lucky with those three unexpectedly early announcements, but now this bit is dragging!!!!! There might be a chance we get something Wednesday when Emily picks up her award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 It is perfectly feasible we get absolutely nothing until balances have been paid now. they will probably make one more stand alone artist announcement of some type but there certainly won't be any grumbling from me until early April if we don't hear anything else before then. the time from now until the first poster does seem to drag on forever but its the same conversation every year. It will come at the end of March or the start of April like it always does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Bulb Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Don't they usually drop at least the poster before the balance due date? I'd assume that would make sense as some people might decide to return their tickets based on the line-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory Man Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) in a year where they've already confirmed 2 monster headliners and its the 50th anniversary there is absolutely no need for any further hype to get people to pay up. even if they had the worst take up of deposit balances the resale will see to any remaining tickets in 10 minutes. This is the most in demand glastonbury of all time. it may be the most in demand festival of all time, period.

Back in 2011 the resale was before the poster drop but every year since then it's been before. See the thingy for more info! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I either think we get 1 more artist in the next 2-3 weeks (Aerosmith) or we're waiting on the poster in mid March. Which I'm fine with.

Completely see your point, but if (at least part of) the line-up doesn't come before the resale, it seems like a bit of a waste of time having a resale at all. 36 minutes ago, Memory Man said: even if they had the worst take up of deposit balances the resale will see to any remaining tickets in 10 minutes. You could say this every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought that line up would keep you content for a few weeks at least! I don't think so... A couple of my friends are thinking about Houghton instead so I may do that with them, or just go all out on Glastonbury (and potentially given yesterday's announcement, the Sunday at Reading!!!)

jparx Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 This forum is buzzing with too much non-Glastonbury news.

Let the other festivals sell their tickets and then it’s time for the big G. It isn’t quiet enough yet for a Glasto announcement. I bet it’s coming in March.

I don't like seeing everyone else have fun with announcements though! So you're thinking it's silence from Glastonbury until the poster drop in March?

So you're thinking it's silence from Glastonbury until the poster drop in March? Yeah I think since we are now hurtling through February I reckon March is probably what’s going on. Kendrick still hasn’t sold out his BST dates and I think it’s clear that Glastonbury don’t want to confirm Aerosmith even though they have self confirmed. Usually before the poster drop it feels like the festival has been cancelled it’s that quiet. We haven’t reached that point yet. We need to be considering whether the festival is even happening before it all drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, and I'm not remotely suggesting I'd trade any of our headliners. They're fun headliners but our trio is a different level entirely. Even RATM. They will be great, but it'll be the same show I saw a decade ago. Edited February 11, 2020 by jparx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
