_tootle Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Any Dutch / Netherlands based people received their tickets yet? I've still not and really starting to panic now 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy_1 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Same over here. I've been looking at the same text at the Seetickets site for weeks now: "Tickets have been sent to our secure courier on 19 May 2023." I've sent them an e-mail 2 days ago, but that didn't really take away the panic... "If you haven’t received the ticket by the time you leave for the festival, then please do get back in touch so we can make alternative arrangements." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primalcrux Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Dutchie here as well, have not gotten them yet. No real panic tho, since for one everyone still is waiting for them, and I assume they know this and have some 'alternative arrangements' in place. Last year we had to pick up our tickets (international tickets were not sent out) at the box office and all and all that was quite a smooth process. I assume they would set up something similar for these tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy_1 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Primalcrux thanks. Maybe I overreacted a bit with the word panic😅 I know it will tutn out ok in the end, but we are with 6 persons, 2 cars (so 2 parking tickets) and different arrival times. Plan was to join the overnight queue and try to get a spot at Pennard Hill like we did last time. We just have to adjust our plans a little bit, but I'm sure we are going to have a great Glasto 🥳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinn Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Another Dutch guy here, still no ticket here either. 2023-06-06 12:13 LANGLEY HWDC IPS, Item Leaving the UK 2023-05-24 20:05 Nottingham MC, Item Received 2023-05-24 14:14 Sender preparing item But one of my friends also contacted See Tickets, his ticket isn't even sent out yet. Last year it took ages to get to the international box office on Wednesday morning, so I was really hoping to avoid it this time.

goonerben Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 If you end up with Box Office collection for tickets, is there any ablity to drive close to the Gate A portakabin, pick up tickets, then drive off and into a car park? Supposed to be staying (and parking) in Sticklinch, so very much trying to avoid a long walk around the roads at the edge of the site.

_tootle Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 No I don’t think so. The box office is by PGA and the coach park. You’ll have had to park your car first, but that might be difficult if your carpark ticket is also at the box office with your festival ticket. Got a feeling they won’t let you anywhere near the car parks without a carpark ticket though, well that’s my worry anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we had to park our car and buy a parking pass, before getting in the general Ped Gate A line, then get in the line for the International Box Office to pick up our ticket and our PARKING PASS.

We actually kinda did this last year, since we were staying at sticklinch, so we parked near the thing, walked to the box office, and drove to sticklinch. However we did arrive on Thursday, so probably much less crowded and busy then on a Tuesday or Wednesday arrival 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_tootle Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Nope. I’ve contacted See Tickets and they’ve sent me details confirming I can collect from the box office on-site. I’d recommend everyone else does the same - See Tickets replied to my email within 2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie7 Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I still haven’t received my tickets and I leave for the festival on Monday. Post office is closed over the weekend so no chance I’m getting them delivered now. I understand why they want to send the tickets out as close to the festival as possible but sending out the international tickets this late seems absolutely ridiculous. Mine didn’t get shipped out until June 7th meaning I’m now going to have to pick them up from the box office which is inconvenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvoram Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Maybe they need to go back to box office collection for Internationals? Wasn't this the case last year, and they've changed it following a lot of complaining? At least with collection you don't have to worry about delivery, or keep it safe on such a long journey. I wonder if anybody will put their tickets in their luggage for the airline to lose their luggage this year? Or in their pockets to lose it themselves somewhere along the journey.

I’ve never had a problem with tickets getting delivered internationally other than this year. I’d argue that the majority of people who live abroad would rather not have to collect their tickets from the box office as it’s quite inconvenient. I think most people are capable of ensuring that they don’t lose their tickets on the way to the festival. Simply sending out the tickets 2-3 weeks earlier would make a big difference.

Weren't tickets box office collection last year unless you got in touch and requested postage? I specifically remember people saying the same as you last year, so you're definitely right... Problem is, despite sending internationals first, back in May, international post is not perfect, and never will be, even if they send them in March, there will still be more potential for issues than there is posting them locally or collecting them. Collection points open from Monday to Friday in Glastonbury and other towns around Pilton would be an option. Like is already done for a lot of concerts. Select your collection point, and you can collect days before the fest, or on your way during the fest, whichever is easiest for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
