Sale Date Change

[O'Doyle Rules]

Have already seen in groups people going "oh I will try then if they're on sale then - thought i missed it"

Going to be tough.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

It would have been easier and less confusing to just delete all details on July 1st and get anyone interested to re-register by October 1st. Sometimes this organisation doesn't help itself.

anyone else still going to be trying at 6pm today just to be sure?

Yes

[TiZuff]

those people who are like "oh yeah ill reg now for glasto" will not even remember there is a sale on. i know so many people like that. they never turn up on the day. i dont think it will change the chances of getting tickets a huge amount. Not everyone is like us when it comes to glastonbury.

[Nestacres]

everyone has decided to go to Isle of Wight or see Green Day at Wembley instead of Dua Lipa ; )

Absolutely.

Such a pain, and amateur hour frankly.

And do these people really need another whole fortnight to re-register?

[shuttlep]

utter c**ts

 

 

I have arranged my month and working pattern so I was free this one weekend only 

 

 

f**k off Glastonbury 

[kalifire]

What’s an extra week going to achieve for people who weren’t organised enough to re-register in the first place? Guaranteed that in two weeks time exactly the same thing will happen.

Why do you care? No offence but you just try in two weeks instead. It's a minor inconvenience at most

I care because there are lots of people trying, and not enough tickets to go around.    This will give more people a chance to be involved in the sale - which is not good for anybody who was all set and ready to go for today/Sunday's sales.

When you get the email with a list of registrations, does the link that they send to 'View, edit or delete' actually load anything?

I updated mine a few weeks ago and could see my details, photo etc but now the link just takes me to a generic registration page - not my profile. I'm wondering if this is the cock up?

i know of 2 people who said they had checked their emails and confirmed the reg but it had still been deleted. i assumed it was just BS and an excuse but im beginnign to wonder if somebody messed up somewhere...

I mean the aIt People at See probably get paid pence to do this. Not shocking. I think they shouldve done this "purge" over the summer and not just in a month before everything else.

 

also feel that their casual attitude about it all is what got them here in the first place. Always making things last minute is not healthy.

Surely they could’ve just released a statement when they discovered what has happened, then just reopened registrations? Not for new registrations but just for people to confirm their registrations. People would’ve had today, tomorrow, Saturday just to confirm they were registered?

Just going from some anecdotal evidence, it looks like some people who did all the requested steps to confirm their registrations still got them deleted.

Obviously, said people had loads of time to check before Monday, so I'm not sure Glasto had to do this - but I can see that, if more than a handful of people's registrations were genuinely deleted in error, and they've only really realised that this week, it made sense to do something.

I was one of them - luckily I checked last week and re registered. But I confirmed my old reg and it still got deleted

No, that’s what always happens so you don’t alter details photos etc after registration closes

coach sale was in 4 hours....they should have just gone ahead with it. so many people have booked time off , rotas etc to help with the sale.

That's a narrow perspective isn't it? 

People have lives with things happening and they've tried to plan them around the sale dates and times, so of course a proportion of those people will not be able to change plans at two weeks notice.

Coach sale was this evening

[thatTFBguy]

Such a stupid decision. If people weren't arsed enough to have registered for today, clearly they weren't that fussed about getting tickets in the first place. Also a pain for me personally as I was going to try and get tickets and if that failed go for Green Day in London next week as an alternative. 

You have to wonder if maybe registration numbers were really down and the festival wants to keep the whole "Glasto tickets are impossible to get" reputation going and a year where they were much easier could dent that (or is that too tin foil hat?)

Same here. 

Noticed it earlier today, but just assumed it was because it was ticket day/week. 

[Ayrshire Chris]

F5 replaced by F off tonight 

[autoinflate]

fed up with all the publicity around ticket sales (and the festival in general) giving everyone a 'fair chance' to jam up the website on ticket day.

make it a zero-publicity sale with press embargo, post the sale date/time on the website and leave it at that - give people who really, really want to go and make the effort to get organised a better chance.

That might be the reason it's two weeks, to give people time to make sure they're available during the sales.

[Nestacres]

2 weeks further from pay day is mildly irrtiating
