Why do they need to offer then on a buy one get one free basis? And yes, it' looks genuine to me? Can anybody shed any light on it? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

That is....very odd.

Seen the link in previous years but can’t recall the criteria I think it may of been NHS 

[Padgey]

Strange it's on a different link to the usual ticket page:

Glastonbury Festival Tickets (seetickets.com)

 

GLASTONBURY-2023 Tickets and Dates 2023 (seetickets.com)

Seen on Facebook people are getting them.

Tickets via the ‘Buy One Get One Free’ offer must be purchased in pairs. Only registrations pre-approved for Buy One Get One Free can book under this offer. Buy One Get One Free applies to general admission tickets only. Tickets will be charged at £340 per pair (equivalent to £170 each) including VAT and booking fee. Additional items (car parking, campervans, delivery costs, etc.) will be charged at standard rate.

Suggests disabled with carers.

Is it for people requiring companions/assistants?

[incident]

They did this last year as well.

The fact it's whitelisted only suggests it's going to be very specific niche cases. For all we know, it could be as restricted as friends of Emilys children and their parents.

Doubtful, they apply via the Accessible team. There's a lot of criteria that needs to be checked to qualify.

Can't see it being that, the Accessible team deal with PA tickets.

[BambooShanks]

just gave it a go using a friends registration and it's saying that I can't buy tickets with this reg number so clearly its  some sort of internal promotion that they are offering to specific people.

[balti-pie]

It might be for FMS companions i suspect - one for the companion and the 'free' one for the volunteer

[NotAnInsider]

There's a general admission form live as well... https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/event/glastonbury-2023/worthy-farm/2575665

Seen a few people post on Facebook saying they have them but it appears some are on some kind of list and others aren't.

I guess this puts to bed any possible secret sales from the new resale system though. They'll just be eaten up through this.

This looks legit as well. 

I've just forwarded it to a mate but I doubt it'll work

Yeah - I've always been of the view that any hope for the reintroduction of secret resales was a long shot at best. The number of people who go through all the hard work of getting through in the resale and then within 24 hours inexplicably deciding not to bother paying must be miniscule.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Nope, didn't work. Not surprised, but I quite enjoyed the thrill of it all for a few minutes 😄 Entered friend's details but all for nowt.

I think there was view that there's an amount of transactions that, for one reason or another, may have trouble getting the payment to go through within the time frame. 

We knew some tickets always fell at the payment hurdle I old system, so there's been a hope they would simply appear later. 

As you say...two hopes...

That would always have been a stretch, though. Failing to get a payment through in a 10 minute window when there's a million people trying to hit the site at once and causing it to break is quite different to failing in a 24 hour window when most of those million have nipped down the pub instead.

No, it's not FMS - the guest tickets were all allocated back in March.  And they don't have this buy one get one free thing... the volunteers have EPO's the same as Oxfam etc and the guests have normal tickets. 

[faymondo]

As many of you will know My missus won two tickets with vodafone. They have been after more details today. I wonder if this has anything to do with it ?

EG Vodafone have reg numbers they can use to allocate the pairs with the winner being one and the other nominated person the get one free ?

Just a thought.

That's been live for a few days now I think.  Always throwing up the unavailable message when you enter details though.
