Ticket holders - Rollover or Refund?

[Paul ™]

Think we know what the %age will be, but just want to see.

Personally we will rollover, as not been since 2011 and would be my first with my girlfriend and our motorhome.

yeah, but I don't really think it says anything. Of course people here will roll over.

I do think there'll be a fair number of refunds, tho. There'll be most of the people who wouldn't have paid up the balance, but also I think there'll be a fair number of older people who'll decide their priorities about what they want to do have changed.

Yeah fair enough.

We actually were going to refund ours and had talked about it a few weeks ago for various reasons, mainly being financial and timing with other events.

But now it's rolled over to next year, we will hold on to them and hopefully have something to look forward to as this year is just a wipe out for us

Rollover for me, I'm 19 and could really do with the extra 50 quid at the moment, but Glasto keeping the 50 and me not having to deal with ticket day stress is way worth it IMO

Even if you’re ambivalent about attending Glastonbury 2021, provided you can afford the £50 surely it’s a no-brainer to leave your deposit in place for this October and delay any decision until balance payment week in March/April 2021?

interesting thought, I wonder if the average age demographic will change much in 2021

[Bryanrebe]

The data of a poll like this on a forum dedicated to Glastonbury is obviously going to be very skewed toward rollover.

We're the people who are super invested in the festival, enough to log in regularly and talk about it.

True, but I guess some people may not be able to make 2021 due to other pre-arranged plans (e.g. holidays, weddings, planning to start a family etc).
Even for people not on this forum, I imagine those looking to return their tickets would be less than 10% (and that’s being optimistic!!)

[FakeEmpire]

Rollover.

I do think there will be a lot who will return their tickets outside of this forum though.  People who just wanted to go once, people who wanted to go for the 50th, people whose lives will change massively since October 2019 (with or without the current situation).

Probably quite a simple calculation, the vast majority a year older including hopefully the bands playing!  Seriously there may be some who only wanted to go because of the 50 thing may cancel but not many on here!

I wonder how many people that didn't like the lineup for this year won't roll over on the assumption it'll be the same artists next year.

Good point, but if they can afford to have the £50 deposit held, they can hold off till next year's line up is out 

[Slugworth]

Rollover for us. Will have to take the hit on the campervan for this year. A lot of money to lose but a ticket for 2021 is priceless 

[Bisque]

Rollover. No way can I be arsed getting up to be disappointed of not getting a ticket. May only be able to do the weekend due to being a full time teacher but Glasto is... Glasto.

[Garrett_Salas]

undecided here. this was going to be my final glastonbury and i had very much made my peace with that and was kinda looking forward to experiencing other things the world had to offer. I guess I have a lot of time to decide.

[mph]

Rollover and hope they let us change coach tickets, mate got Brighton instead of Bristol which is a nightmare but I'll still travel it if needed 

[H.M.V]

The majority here will be rollover. But I also know what it's like to be on the bones of me arse and counting coppers to buy some milk. 

I think a lot will get refunds. These are going to be trying times which is why I think GFHQ have probably given till September to get a refund. That £50 while easy for some is two weeks shopping for someone else being crippled by reduction in hours or lay off. 

I take no pleasure in any of this.

I’m 40 and could always do with £50 

[Mark0]

It was going to be my first and my daughters first Glast so im so thankful for the roll over for next year ,it will be extra special next year as she will be 16 and will have just finished her exams.

[Magic Rat]

Rollover here.

Coming from Ireland I thrilled to get a mail from Tangerine Fields this evening saying they are rolling over our booking too. Had paid them in full.

See you on the farm!

[petewilson09]

Definitely rollover for the 6 in our group who got tickets.  

Hopefully manage to get tickets for the other 6 now

[gfa]

You have to remember some people have coach tickets too. Coach tickets from Scotland are like well over £100 plus the deposit, £150+ is a fair amount of money for some to have locked up especially at this time. Could be used for another festival if later ones go ahead.

They may well be 1 year older on average!

Damn, you beat me to it by hours!

I wonder if Macca will roll over
