the Glade stage has moved a bit and is less gladey. Sadly there was a diseased tree that needed felling. William's green has gone and has been replaced by Carhenge. Carhenge has a lot of love. -

The problem you're highlighting isn't the problem with a ballot, someone using a different persons ticket would be as much or as little an issue as it currently is. Think about it, think about the current system. you give your name, address and photo, but do Glastonbury verify this in any way, do they do a voters roll check to confirm its actually your address? or Ask for a passport to confirm your name? No of course they don't. Your name is whatever you tell them, your picture is whatever picture you give them and your address is where you want your tickets delivered. Your picture serves to deter touts and selling tickets on, its checked at the gate only, if it looks like you then you get in. Now think about a ballot, you can enter multiple separate registrations with a different picture and a different address, which could be any number of friends or family members that you could collect tickets from. You coudl even vary your name slightly with each registration, but you probably wouldn't need to bother. Unless Glastonbury specifically have a fraud team to sift through every single registration and try and spot duplicates, or invest in expensive AI software to spot duplicates, then a ballot would be subject to the exact same methods that people use to gain an advantage in the current sale, i.e large groups etc. But why on earth would they need the extra cost and administration headache? They just need to sell tickets for their festival which the current system does very well, and very efficiently in a way that is already completely fair. Instead, why doesn't the end user look at themselves and ask, what am I doing wrong? -

I was lucky enough to snag a ticket in the resale on Sunday, and am now in obsessive planning mode and all round over excitement for my first Glastonbury in 10 years (hooray!). It will be my 11th Glastonbury all told, so I feel like I know the set up pretty well, but after a decade away (young kids, ticket sale failures), there's probably quite a bit that's changed that might be worth knowing. So, what should I know? I assume that everywhere on site takes contactless payment, so less need to arrive with loads of cash?? Much as I'd love to be off grid for 5 days, I'll need to be reachable for parents doing childcare - are there still the odd charge points on site? Anything else worth knowing? Cheers! -
