My tickets arrived this morning - thank goodness. Although they are quite damp and soggy from the rain this morning.

oh frigging wonderful.
my payday is on the monday. i'm not paid very much so as you can imagine things are a bit tight, but no worries thought i, i'll get an advance of a couple of hundred quid and my manager agreed. found out today that payroll have decided that it can't be done. this means my entire budget from now until the monday after glastonbury stands at about 60 quid.
this is worrying. i was expecting to spend that on cider alone.

It is quite temptingaqua said:go and stand in the bath like sunray did when he bought his

Its sunny somewhere.
Hehe.. I cant believe people remember that. I did that years ago, Dub mentioned to me at strawberry fair the other week, as did Skim just yesterday...hmmm...rubs chin.
You know you want to.... They are labelled as 'waterproof' as opposed to 'water resistant'...
I use them for cycling to work in the pissing rain in winter and they are the best invention ever. Just be careful not to pull them on tight because they are not stretchy in any way and can bruise your big toe if you do.

It seems clear to me that they decided to cut costs by printing the tickets on toilet paper, rather than the hologram inner red felt unforgeable jobbies from previous years. This has resulted in practically useless photos and somthing you could sort out with a decent photocopier/scanner and a bit of photoshop. Clearly GFLand SEE have shat themselves after all this 'we beat the touts' hyperbole. They are unlikely to have any 'bring ID' infrastructure built in like previous years. The late posting must be a tactic to avoid ebayers and the fact the photos are utterly shite.
In some respect I feel lucky im doing the 'be given the tickets on the shitty coach' thing, despite that scenarios built in frustrations. Like the fact I plan to double the carbon footprint/congestion by going and getting my car anyway...

In an ideal world that would be great, but in the last phone call I was advised, that they "don't know what to do," and was told that I should "see if it turns up Monday" (it's already a week late) and they aren't sure if they can issue replacements or not.Skim said:
The Press Office is on site, so I doubt if I could get that far without a ticket.
on the upside, the ticket shambles can work the other way - in 2005 they sent us 16 instead of 8

Oh, I feel your pain.Crispy said:And of course the seetickets number is engaged
Unless the tickets turn up tomorrow, trying to sort things out on Monday is going to be a fucking nightmare.
I still can't believe that they sent out press passes - with full backstage access - by ordinary cheapo mail.

Ace! I'm colouring in mine.
Anyone else noticed that if you join-the-dots on the toilets you get the 2012 olympic logo?
Try the 0115 number?
Mine are currently sitting in Blenheim gdns post office in brixton, which is making me anxious as the last important thing of mine they had (a job contract) they lost for a few days.
but other than that, reading this thread is making me very very excited. this is only my second Glasto (the first being a hazy memory 10 years ago), and wouldn't have been possible without getting tickets via the handy hints on this thread, so thanks again
