Great to see so many people got tickets! Congrats to all and best of luck for those still trying on Sunday.

[Rex2]

Got in almost straight away. Paid for the tickets and bank cancelled the purchase. Devastated

Great result for those who got tickets. Really chuffed for everyone.

That is shit. So sorry to hear that

[Tony Zografos please]

My girlfriend got mine and hers this evening! This will be my 6th consecutive festival and 3 of those times I've had to get tickets in the sodding resale. It's an immense feeling after 2.5 years! It took a fair bit of trying every single destination and seeing what was available and thankfully she got lucky. We wanted London but we ended up with Southampton (if anyone has got the coach from here can you let me know where it's from and what time it was?), But I couldn't care less where we're going from. We're going and on the Wednesday!

Need 2 more on Sunday for those in my group that weren't successful

Congratulations to everyone who got them tonight, you lot deserve it!

Up past bed time having a celebratory beer... thought it would be rude not to. If anyone's in the same boat, cheers!

Wow, desperately excited. I didn't miss a Glastonbury from 1995-2016. Subsequently failed at every opportunity to get tickets. This evening I got through about 18.05. Mate I have gone with for years lives Reading way, me Swansea.

Bristol, nothing available

Cardiff, nope

Swansea, nope

Taunton, nope

Truro - yeah, that's West Country, try that. In!!!! Bought!!!

Slowly realise what I've committed us to do in terms of getting in. Best solution, as I never see the fella other than Glastonbury these days, come over to mine the weekend before, go down and leave my van at another mate's farm near Penzance, take a couple of surf-boards, extended catch up and a few waves before the festival. That'll do nicely.

Then best weekend in 6 years.

Monday is sounding unpleasant...

Yeah Truro is a looong way down. Very nice around there though! As for Monday, remember that you don’t have to get on the bus back (if you have somewhere else to leave the van).

Was anybody else impressed with the way the site coped for the ticket sale? From what I remember in previous years I’ve had an absolute nightmare with the site going so slow and crashing before I even got to the holding page. I actually managed to get through twice for myself and for my mate

Yes agree, no crashing, and once I got on - trying to help others - I didn’t lose the booking page as I tried 3 different groups. After entering details there was no delay (tickets already booked by others though)

Seemed like a pretty smooth process - glad you all got tickets 🙂

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

In any sale it will be a smooth process for most, after all the tickets are all sold in very short period of time, if it was that unstable it would take hours not minutes. There will always be people who have issues, but they’re in the minority, hence the calls for the sale process to be changed being uncalled for. Of course there are people who don’t even see a booking screen, or get the white screen of death, but that’s just the nature of a massively oversubscribed event.

Hello! Got through straight away yesterday with an Ethernet cable and Google incognito. Can’t believe it. My nerves were shot after.

so happy! This will be my first Glasto and I managed to get the Wednesday 9:30 coach from Bristol (where I live!)

I am helping someone on Sunday morning get a ticket for their partner - but I’m free to help others. I was never part of the spreadsheet as I missed the cut off - but feel free to add me somehow as a helper

I'm not sure how helpful this will be as it's years since I got the coach from Southampton (2011 maybe?), but back then it went from the north side of Southampton Central station.

And Penzance is a looong way further than Truro! 

[elgatonegrofabricwardrobe]

Got through and tried from a few places but said tickets no longer available when I clicked buy. Go again on Sunday morn full of positivity.

though there is at least a train. I used to live in Penzance, I think that's what got into my head Truro was local to me...

This thread is giving me all the feels 😍

Never been so pleased that so many people i don't know got a ticket to a festival that I'm (currently) not attending 😁 so happy for you all!

I'm going to try Sunday but partner not keen (one too many real life things all up in their grill) but if I get tickets and pay they'll come around right, right?! **(Insert Skywalker/Padme gif here)

I'm doing it anyway 😉

So how’s the lucky folk feeling this morning?  Waking up knowing you are going to the farm after a two and a half year wait must be an incredible feeling!  Despite the hangover!  Bet you they are all double checking their order just to see it again😁.  Well done all who are successful and on to Sunday for the rest! Looks like based on last night that there are a decent number of tickets available.  

[TheFullShaboo]

10 of our regular Glasto group trying for a newbie. Spent the last week or so explaining all the intricacies and tips of the sale, a proper regimented approach, letting him know how hard and serious this sale is.

He gets through in 4 minutes and now thinks we're all absolutely nuts for worrying all week 😐 

Just one final group to sort out on Sunday now - best of luck to all those in the same boat!

[JoeyT]

How's your head @crazyfool1?

I'm actually a little bit jealous as I'd imagine getting a ticket after not having one for over 2 years gives you the normal ticket buzz x 1000!

My mate who got one last night missed 2019 so it’s been five long years since he has been!

Had the same with us, about 3 people got through within a few minutes - better safe than sorry of course!

[shuttlep]

we managed 3 out of 3 for our group

[EFC1996]

We’re all in now. 5/9 had tickets. 9/9 now. Trying for an extended group on Sunday
