Can I transfer my ticket on medical grounds?

[Johndenis]

Hello all, long story but unfortunately I was in hospital shortly after returning home from "primavera sound Barcelona weekend 1" (to give it its full title 😁) .

I have an NHS discharge letter which describes my diagnosis. While it doesn't say "cannot attend Glastonbury Festival", it's pretty clear that doing anything so potentially strenuous in the short term would be reckless. 

My question - can I apply for a refund or otherwise transfer my ticket? I have the physical ticket in my possession. Thanks.

if you took out the ticket insurance  when you purchased then you might get a refund.

You can’t transfer the ticket. You can apply for a refund if you took out the insurance. That’s about it (legally).

Yep, had this issue in 2015. Can't be transferred sadly.

At this point you might want to try to pass it on to someone who looks quite similar? Or go, and just take it very easy?

If you don't have insurance on your ticket, you may have luck if you have travel insurance?

Thanks for the feedback folks. I don't think the Mrs would buy into the idea of me going and taking it easy. As we all know glastonbury is a bit of an endurance test so it's not sometimes as simple as just taking it easy. Though I still joke about how one of the best sleeps I had after the birth of my first child in 2015, was the Thursday night at Glastonbury in 2017 😂
