Ticket balance due in March not April

Appears to be at the point of transaction - think that's why so many festivals are pushing to get sales in before the end of this month including the unexpected Glastonbury Campervan/Accomodation resale.

before the end of this month would be because of when their vat quarters run to and from, rather than whether the vat is due at the point of transaction or not

Notice it says resales not resale. Potentially a number of sales. 

Coach package plus general.

and most of all would depend on how the person doing their accounts, like to handle cashflow to the businesesses advantage (nothing illegal in that), PEOPLE LIKE TO WORK STUFF TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND NOT TO THEIR DISADVANTAGE.

probably not worth overthinking that at this stage ...  

Yes hopefully they need a couple of weeks and we'll be back home.

Yes noticed that, it says ‘tickets purchased in resales after March 8 ‘

[thewayiam]

Ideally it would be good to know as I'll need to see if I'm off on the Sunday for resale.

Yet another indicator of confidence by GFL for June 2022.

Everybody take 30 seconds out now to jump up and down a little bit 😋

So now we’re going to see a poster even sooner than last year where they were forced to reveal cause of covid. This of course shows that they do have a lot more booked at this stage than normal which is expected. I do think we’re getting a name really soon with all of this happening right now.

Its actually better. And even highlighting that there is ticket coverage and such means they anticipate people might not be able to go and youll get a refund. But this time there are no more rollovers.

Except I'll probably take the risk, pay the full balance and may end up not being able to go.  So really it could be a ticket in the bin.

How similar to me do you look? I’d save it from the bin

Good spot. This has to be a VAT thing and makers perfect sense in that context.

In short, VAT on event tickets is currently reduced to 5%. This goes up to 12.5% on October 1st, and then back up to the full 20% on April 1st.

Why don't they get us to pay now then? Would save even more money!

People need to save I would guess … for some it’s not an insignificant amount that can be found down the back of the sofa

This... a guess a large majority would be able to pay upfront now.

They just need to open and announce that payment can take place between now and March. Budget on everyone paying last minute - with any early payments at the 5% VAT rate additional profit to support going forward

Yeah, I guess so, but they've had two years of knowing they'd be having to pay it! It's not cheap for me, so I put a bit away each month for it every year. 2022 was all saved up for by early 2020! Appreciate not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to leave a couple of hundred quid in a savings account for a festival for two years though.

I need this resale on March 27th to not have to book anything. It would be nice and people will likely gave been paid.

Do most people not get paid at the end of the month? I’d imagine the most appropriate resale would be 3rd April myself.

That’s true, but maybe they could increase the payment window from just the first week in March to the full month of February and then have an earlier resale. Cash in the festival a bit earlier and the resale crew don’t have to wait  as long!  Also April resale  date sometimes coincides with folk on holiday which can be cause problems.
