Just checked my registration, all good.

 

[wiskey]

Apparently if you registered in 2007 you need to re-register this year.

 

[Yelkcub]

I registered this week

 

[WBC-WORKER]

I registered this week

Your not the only one

I quote from paper ' Michael Eavis says more than one million people have already registered to join the annual scramble for tickets which will go up by £5 this year.'

I am glad I dont have to worry about tickets

 

[JTG]

I was musing yesterday - on site at Brisfest where I'm finishing the season four months after I began it - that there are only 9 months until Glastonbury

Steeling myself for the hard yards after this week though

That looks like it means there are a million people registered, but how long does the registration last, it's more than one year isn't it? So not all registered people will apply for a ticket.

So it's probably only 900k people after 135k tickets not 1m.

When do you have to register by?

Some people have unlimited registration now, so it never expires ... other people have to re-register after 4 years.

September 30th

 

[Dan U]

Two hundred and ten pounds before you've had a beer.

Wow.

At no point does it say there will be one million people trying to buy a ticket but if someone has taken the time to register then its a strong indication they will try to buy a ticket

I am sure that each year more and more people want to attend.

When I first started going in 1979 there was very few people in London who even knew there was a festival - now you cant go anywhere where people don't know there is a festival.

They are in the business of selling tickets and I am sure that interview will spur more on to try and buy.

Its just your luck at the end of the day.

nooooo it's a sense of rightful entitlement and the cumulation of all your good karma over the previous year .... and everyone you know hammering F5!

 

[Part 2]

Two hundred and ten pounds before you've had a beer.

Wow.

I've spent the same amount for gig tickets for the next few months. None of them include free beer either.

 

[wiskey]

Two hundred and ten pounds before you've had a beer.

Wow.

not bad for a 6 day holiday really.

 

[Yelkcub]

Two hundred and ten pounds before you've had a beer.

Wow.

Or, £1 a gig for 210 gigs....

Whatever else you can say about it, it's not bad value at all.

 

[Dan U]

Yeah I get that argument. 200 quid a head just seems a lot of money for a festival. Undoubtedly I would love it if I went though

 

[newbie]

Just do some work, tickets and registration and stuff suddenly become an irrelevance. Might even get cheap booze too.

I'm very interested in working on an info point for next years festival. There's only really info on car park and ticketing stewarding on the main glasto website. Anyone know the best place to contact to organise working on an Info Point?

 

[wiskey]

What makes you want to work info?

I think you have to be a member of a specific branch of CND for a while to get the info point gig.

 

[Pants Man]

fingers ready, reg sorted

 

[William of Walworth]

It certainly isn't any piece of piss getting the Info job tbh.

 

[wiskey]

Fancy a jog round the empty site??

[twentythreedom]

Phew, just registered

 

[wiskey]

Registrations finishes at midnight tonight!!

 

[dvjj]

V = £185.00 (Early Bird Price)
Bestival = £180.00
Reading £202.50
Latitude = £182.50

Seems they are all about the same price for a Festival...and these are all 3 or 4 days only not the 5 you get at Glastonbury.

 

[The Octagon]

Seeing FB posts from mates saying they've already got tickets through a pre-sale deal thing.

Before I call chinny reckon, has this actually happened?

Some tipi rentalists from last year got a compensation package (for minor problems) which gave them an earlybird ticket guarantee. Probably that.
