Ticket Delivery

One of my group got their ticket in resale with two other people, they have received an email saying they have 3 tickets coming their way! 

 

Is this an error? No one in the group lives near each other and won't be going together

Nope, not a mistake. Resale tickets go to the lead bookers address.

We had this last year, although we all meet up before getting to the site.

Can't you just meet at a service station nearby?

They've still only dispatched 46% of the tickets, so there's plenty of time.

Edit: well not plenty of time, but you know what I mean. 54% of people are in the same boat as you.

This is Monday, I received despatch e mail on Wednesday and tickets arrived this morning but that included a weekend.  So I would estimate average three or four days for delivery.  I’d expect see tickets to ramp up deliveries now.

If I theoretically did leave them at home? Could I blah my way in using my passport and they could cross check it with my ticket info?

Doesn't sound like it from what other people have said.

I think you have to call SeeTickets at least 2 days before the festival in order for them to arrange replacements at Gate A (anyone correct me if I'm wrong).

ask @drunk pumpkinthis 🙂  (answer is no)

I can 100% say that if you don't have your physical ticket in hand at the gate you are not getting in. No exceptions (can't speak for hospitality tickets) 

I could show ID, proof of purchase, my father with the tickets in hand on face time showing they were ours with our pictures on and it was eventually (after about 5 hours) a hard no!

To be fair, lots of the stewards and security thought we would get in with everything we could show/had. That's why it took so long. They eventually got through to the most senior person on site (who had responsibility for ticketing, entry etc) and that's when we got the NO.

 

So had to drive back and get them.

We travel down four days before gates open, the tickets go everywhere with me, in a waterproof poly pocket, checking them constantly.

mine are in the kitchen.... just went and checked them again 👀

You are in Worthy View right @Ayrshire Chris? Do they have a 'pass-out' system in place for coming in and out of the festival  or is it a specific wristband..? (Campervan dwellers have to show tickets on entry AND exit each time.. and they give you a 'pass-out' slip of paper on the way back to CV fields that you have to give back next entry) its a pain and adds stress to the not losing your ticket scenario..

My daughters (former) BF lost his ticket in the festival and had to go to security and be questioned about landmarks in the are of his postcode etc... It must have taken him an hour. I now photograph each of ticket and share them with all the group (no idea if it would help in the event of loss..)

I didn't get an email, I just went on See tickets and put my confirmation number in the system and that told me they'd been sent to the courier 

Mine doesn't say that even. Has just said

"Secure Post

Tickets will be sent by secure post. A signature may be required on delivery."

and has never changed 😞 I'm sure it will but it feels like they're cutting it really fine.

They've changed this now - in 2017 you had to swap ticket for a wristband and go through security/bag search etc. every time (a looooog queue on the Friday morning), whereas last year it was just a wristband and no security other than checking wrist band.  Much faster.

And you got to keep your ticket again 🎫😊

48% now despatched according to the tracker. Anyone know if the remaining tickets still to be sent include those on coaches who don’t get their tickets until arrival?  That would mean see tickets have less to send. 

Friends (live near us, and I ordered their tickets, but they paid separately) still haven't had an update, still says ticket will be sent by... blah blah blah.

Mine were at Nottingham MC earlier today... They're still at Nottingham MC, and they'll stay at Nottingham MC until they're loaded onto the Postie's van tomorrow. 🙂

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
