Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[William of Walworth]

I'm guessing hardly any - that's why Eavis is getting pissed off. He keeps saying he wants to attract young newbies, and we same old bastards keep showing up because we know how to get tickets.

He'll never exclude us old schoolers!

 

[Sunray]

Nice one, 'very much so' in answer to your question. Join the Urban meet at the Bus at 8 am** on the Wednesday, and then again same time on the Thursday ...

**ahem ... I meanr 8 Pm of course

Have confirmation email and for me the tracker looks good. When I last looked at my account at 5 pm, the money hadn't yet gone, but another 24 hours should sort that

I'm hoping that as well, money still not taken.

So, off all us that are going, how many are newbies going for the first time?

Me! You have no idea how excited i am already, though i get lost pretty damn easily so its going to be an adventure!

absinthe pirate and her housemate are newbies.

Ah, to be a newbie again...

No bad things to happen to the newbies!

I dunno...I'm usually up and about at 8am having come done from the stone circle and contemplating a full veggie brekkie (a bit worse for wear but hey...

[aqua]

I did

 

[boing!]

Ok - I've got a confirmation - by using the reference number page

https://www.wayahead-secure.co.uk/see/content_get_reference.asp

but am confused as it says i've got two seperate reference numbers saying that i have two tickets - giving 4 in total

is this the tickets, or is the car park tickets a seperate reference? - I ordered 2 car parking tix at the same time

the seetickets tracker groups all orders together. I had 3 orders, which turned out to be 4 x glastonbury tickets 1 x car park and 1 other gig in May that I happened to book from seetickets. So don't fret if it doesn't at first seem right.

just looking at that.

I've been to glastonbury a fair few times now and i've never seen this place!

 

[aqua]

its up near the accoustic tent

 

[newbie]

it's in the acoustic field- the balcony is a great place to watch the dawn with a cup of hot chocolate

 

[Looby]

I just got my confirmation through from Workers Beer Company which is v. exciting. I get 2 free pints and a meal per shift and hot showers-

I hope they don't put me in the acoustic field (real ale bar) because in my brief time as a barmaid I was really shit at pulling pints, I just want one of those little machines that does it for you.

 

[Sunray]

Has anyone who ordered over the phone had the cash taken yet?

 

[aqua]

yep - well its not gone gone, but its showing as being taken

 

[SubComandante]

Has anyone who ordered over the phone had the cash taken yet?

I've not had mine taken out of my account yet, I called up See and they confirmed I had a ticket, and the money would come out soon...annoying though really because I dont actually have that much in my account and I dont want it to bounce, so I'm basically not taking any money out until the ticket money has cleared!

 

[tastebud]

an email from a friend of a friend:

Just called the Glastonbury helpline and they were meant to take the cash out yesterday but it's not happening until later today or perhaps tomorrow. Thank goodness for the hold-up!

 

[boing!]

its up near the accoustic tent

cool. Will have to take a trip to that this year i think.

Here's my indispensable guide to Glasto - show up, drink cider, fall over, go home, come back next year.

Finally got the proper confirmation this morning - yep - the tracker listed the car park tickets seperate from the actual tickets. I was beginning to wonder if I had applied twice early on Sunday!

Add "eat truffles" to that and I'd agree

 

[Giles]

Has anyone who ordered over the phone had the cash taken yet?

Mine has not been taken, except for the "coach" part for two tickets that I got for 2 friends. £84 (2 x £42 coach price) has gone, but not the actual ticket costs. Eh?

I phoned yesterday and confirmed that all was well, and they said it was, they were just dealing with a lot of transactions.

Giles..

I've moved house since I first registered - will my address appear on the ticket etc?
