There'll be a load of coverage and probably way *less* chance than an April resale surely? I mean you will have less chance than a normal October sale I guess but I wouldn't mind betting more tickets go back into the pot than people expect. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was somewhere around 40-50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a decent chance, particularly if they tell the acts now that they have an option for next year (that they have to take up by a particular date, perhaps?). I think there's going to be a lot of goodwill from acts to fulfil this summer's dates next summer - tho that's not going to be universal for all sorts of different reasons.

Penrhos Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'll be making a bigger donation to Water aid and Oxfam than I usually do for the next few months - every little helps when a revenue stream like Glasto disappears. So far I've got 3 Gigs cancelled, another 3 pending cancellation and 4 fate TBC All bought on credit cards so I'll get refunded no problem. It's not as if I'll be able to spend the money on going out to any other entertainment and I'm not giving Sky any more cash..... Then hope for a 2021 ticket whenever they go on sale (Assuming we're over this by then) - if not them a big Glasto push for my 60th in 2022.

Wales is closing schools as well as Scotland. So England is a question of time. The school that I went to when I did my GCSE exams has told year 8/9 students not to come in due to a lot of staff self-isolating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our groups looking at booking another festival to compensate for Glasto but now its got us thinking that they may go the same way.... I’d hang on.

She has work confirmed for this week but no future bookings (same with any substitute over here that wasn't on long term cover). She is potentially looking at no income now until September.

jparx Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 27 minutes ago, FuzzyDunlop said: I haven't been on here much recently. There have been a variety of personal reasons, but 1 of them has been - I couldn't see the festival being on. Glastonbury is a massive part of lots of people's lives (myself included) but I didn't even check the line up out last week. It's been today that I have fully gone through it. The cancellation was inevitable. I am not sad today, if anything it was a bit of closure on it all. My mates were adamant, even up until today "it'll be on". I was a "pessimistic bastard" - but it was pretty obvious for the last fortnight really. The economic landscape of the world could be incredibly different in 12 months, so £250 for a festival may not be viable for a lot of people. The world could look quite different when the next festival rolls around. It could well have been my last Glastonbury already, which is pretty upsetting to think about. I had decided 2020 was my last as I'd like to see a bit of the world and do other things. Over the last few months I have had a couple of personal issues that I am working through - and maybe it's time to hang up my festival walking boots for good now? I am keeping my 2021 ticket valid, but I at this point don't think it'll be there. The festival will be back though. Keep the faith! Hope all is well Fuzz. Was hoping to bump in to you having a good boogie during Taylor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No festivals this summer has screwed over my friends' business too (online outdoor retailer, a good one too). Knock on is I do freelance digital marketing for them too. Will be down to no clients by the end of the week I think. I'm not sure how long this can go on if I'm honest. They've built an economy on sand and its now sinking under the slightest of weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfuhruhurr Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Daughter pointed out something to ponder. There's always a huge number of us disappointed, by rolling over they've saved 135k from not only being disappointed but upset by missing out. So on the overall happiness meter of life, it's positive and so the right thing to do. Here's hoping you all get to go next year (apart from one of you, since I still need a ticket).

I’m just bitter because I’m a frontline public transport worker and we’re essentially being forced to put ourselves at risk with minimal protection, until we either provably get the disease or the government grows a pair and forces a shutdown. With everything I’ve been looking forward to (holidays, Glastonbury, Eurovision, Euros, Olympics) falling by the wayside on top of working in that environment, my mental health isn’t so good atm.

lukethekid Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 37 minutes ago, Rose-Colored Boy said: Can’t see many people taking a refund in September if they’ve got until the usual April deadline to decide if they want to go. Other than making the refund the default option rather than the rollover, which would undoubtedly have caught lots of people out, asking anyone rolling over to pay the full balance before October was the main hope I was clinging on to for the October pot being a decent size. But ethically that was rightly never going to happen. I imagine there’s gonna be more people than you think not able to go next year, whether that’s due to family planning, house moves, different work criteria, holidays already booked.
