Is it usually okay to get tickets if determined

It really won’t … unfortunately we have a cost of living crisis that will price many out …. Not saying it’s going to be easy but unfortunately other things will become a priority for some and that will inevitably reduce the numbers trying 

I think cost of living crisis will affect gigs and festivals but of those Glastonbury will be the least affected because it is the best value for money. If you normally go to lots of gigs and festivals you might cut back but still keep Glastonbury as your way of seeing lots of live music and enjoy a festival experience. It’s smaller festivals that will fall first.

Yes this - I saw 24 acts so for 300 quid that would be pretty good value given the individual price of a gig these days.

Not long till we find out …. Not forgetting Glastonbury doesn’t just have its ticket price to pay out for …. It’s not cheap by any means …. I agree on value for money though

If you just saw the Pyramid headliners you’d be quids in these days!

Yeah and that notwithstanding all the other shit going on to do.

Given that most people I know who went to Glastonbury also went to multiple gigs and other festivals this year I think it’s fair to say that all of those would go by the wayside first.

I guess it’ll be different for different people how they choose to do it … over £1000 for many for Glastonbury weekend … could be 10 gigs spaced throughout the year …. Or people might just have to stop all that fun stuff regardless . Anyway not long till oct

It'll be the one after, dates/days fell the same in 2016 for the 2017 sale and it was the 9th. Allows the Thursday coach sale to be in October as well.

Which means ticket day would be the 9th not the 2nd.

Jeez...looks like we might need to go for coach tickets. Or give it a shot from the US.

I haven't read the whole thread, but before SEE sorted out their server capacity then definitely yes, perseverance would pay off, it literally took all day to sell out because no one could get on the site 🤣 I think I miss that, at least you knew if you stuck with it you'd get them and anyone who gave up probably wasn't that bothered

yeah that was better than 30 minutes and done, nothing worse watch the clock get to that half an hour mark knowing the game is up

Yep! The pressure is too much! We used to set everything up so we could sit in bed all morning with the laptops 😂

From nearly there to absolute despair.... remember that happening to quite a few. Wouldnt accept registration numbers, saying already used or payment wouldnt authorise.

I reckon the resale is where the cost of living will show up . With the half a year before parting with the majority of the money and the likelihood the cost of living will bite harder after October (comparatively), people might think things will get better by April and go with the deposit and decide later. Clearly they'll be vastly wrong so a big resale most likely!

Dreamt I forgot about the ticket sale. Woke up in a cold sweat

If you manage to get through to the ticket ordering, does that mean you’re safe, or do you have to be very quick and press complete before you can relax?
