If balance payments low in % terms wonder if they will extend payment deadline? 

Glastonbury will be aware of the sales and also probably fairly confident with the resale

They announce when they're ready to

[FrankieX]

I was surprised that I didn't get an email/Text from See Tickets on Tuesday to remind me to pay off my balance. I was expecting something to jog my memory, with the last email I got being on Monday 21st February (over a week before). I wouldn't be surprised, with the breakout of war dominating the news and social media, that some people might have just forgotten.

It’s not ready

Swings and roundabouts. My group of 10 have all paid, and we have another three friends who will be trying during the resale.

I’ve had to remind a lot of people this week - only about half have paid so far. Very different to any other year (all regular attendees)

Yep, 5/5 here with 2 newbies.  Plus another 2 who want tickets.

Also seen loads of people online saying they’ve paid…. Although I’m a Liverpool fan so that explains that!

[Matt42]

I’d say now there is no chance it’s coming this week.

Wow Glasto is playing a ballsy game.

Same, by the sounds of it the festival might be 99% scousers this year!

[JSmurphy]

6/6 in my group are paid up but with plenty of reminders from me. I really would be surprised if they don't at least nudge people by email tomorrow.

Struggling to convince others to try for resale unless there's a lineup.

They’re not really, the thing will still sell out immediately in the resale regardless of how many don’t pay this week.

i know west holts is done, i asked if it was and got told it was.

I see what you are implying here. Holt is a type of bed that we should all stand by. Rejoice! The poster is imminent!

No, they'll just go into the resale. 

Sales don't have any time limit on them it's just until they're gone.

[sisco]

Good to see there’s no overreaction as always….

Is that really what they want to rely on though? I think it’s highly risky to take sell outs for granted whilst also being completely reliant on the festival to sell out in order to operate. We saw how much 2008 was a shoddy year.

All it takes is one seriously wet year, logistics issues or whatever and the festival may have less demand than usual. Or the emergence of other festivals coming and stealing a big chunk of the ticket paying audience.

Important to remember that Emily said March. It is literally the third day of March.

Just calm the fuck down.

I guarantee come October not a single person will care that they didn’t release a lineup before balance day.

Not one.

Put it away you're embareasing yourself 

[Hugh Jass II]

I’ve said before that I have sympathy for those who want to see the lineup now they’ve paid. But the impatience from some who should know better is a joke.

To infer that not releasing anything this week could do long term damage to the festival is ridiculous, hysterical and quite frankly utter bollocks.

It’s not just that really it’s a mix of things. My point is that it’s a dangerous game to become too comfortable and rest on “oh well we sell out no matter what we do”

A financial crisis, cost of living crisis, a war, a pandemic, a competitor, demographic shift, whatever. Business 101 is to never consider yourself invincible.

Aye. There might be more tickets back in the pot, but they’ll be snapped up right away in a few weeks time.
