Just make sure it's all legit. A ticket and Lovefields equivalent of a caravan (for example) would be a lot more.

stuie Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Sounds a bit dodgy to me! Even if he's legit, it still sounds a bit dodgy. Worker type tickets shouldn't be sold on. What about the work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E. Spliff Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 (edited) 15 minutes ago, BanjoJo said: Is that too much do you think? It's completely down to supply and demand. If he's desperate to offload the ticket and there is one other person prepared to pay that price, then your best bet, if you would be happy to have it at that price, is to buy it pronto. I know a couple of people who get in via that route each year, and only pay a punters' ticket price - approx £300. But in this case the buyers and sellers are mates, so you can't really use that to decide the market price for this ticket. If I were you, I'd first decide what price I'd be happy to pay. If it's £1800 or more, then I'd offer him £1000 and see what happens, but be ready to collapse and give him the full asking price if necessary. My guess is that he'll be a trader, and you'll therefore be putting your caravan in a small compound somewhere in the markets area. A great location, but could be a bit busy with people going to and fro, plus you'll need to factor in not being allowed to leave the site until 6pm on the Monday. Edited May 20 by Mark E.

fred quimby Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Try and find out where it is. I do know that some crews get extra tickets instead of being paid. As for the cost that is down to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanjoJo Posted May 21 Author Report Share Posted May 21 Ta for your replies everybody I've talked to them and its not a scam deffo Found out the place where I can put caravan Nice place there not a trader and they only work if that's the word for it for three hours a day when the festival is on! Did think of trying to knock them down on price but that could make them say dead no and I lose tickets chance They said I've got u till tomorrow night to decide Just got to decide if I can afford it but it is a holiday for us Decision time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure mine will be. I have a photo but that is set up in the email I get sent when I have done the training. Says to bring it along when I pick up my wristbands and lanyard. Depends where the original poster is going I guess and how that is set up. Not sure they will be on the tickets themselves. I guess workers can drop out for various reasons and they need to replace them. Unlike punters. They may have to do the training maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours have never been photo ID, no info to suggest that’s changed. It allows for last minute changes of crew if necessary, e.g. someone can’t make it and needs to be replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire0406 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Unfortunately those that posted it all over social media have probably brought this on, it was inevitable it would eventually happen. Not sure why people ruin it for themselves if they have an 'in' Bizarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kugglaw Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Slightly off topic but announcing that you have illicit information but refusing to share it is a very irritating trait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
