  • Pilton...I mean Glasto' Festival

Hank_Solo I remember one year at SW4, Diggers dropped the Chemical Brothers remix of Fatboy Slim’s Song For Shelter. Monster.

Was there for that. Class

    Do the regular glastonbury ticket buyers get theirs on the phone, online or just lucky enough to be in the know?

    Tried three years in a row to no avail but would absolutely love to make it at least once!

      -si- For the most part it’s pure lottery. You can get some guaranteed with hospitality packages, but last time I looked they started at a couple of grand. As far as I know crew don’t get a lot of free tickets.

        -si- first time we went in 04 we got them over the phone line and actually in 05, it’s got harder as time went on, 08 you could buy them the week before, since 2010 and prob more camera phones it’s got busier and busier, we normally have a few phones on different networks and laptops, got them in the resale like this year at least 4 times, have to be relentless! Only once when I really wanted to go we didn’t get tickets in 16 and it rained so it worked out!

            Heno we normally have a few phones on different networks and laptops

            Same same. I’ve got mobiles on a couple of different networks. Also use a Macbook on our home internet connection, and my work laptop logged in via a VPN that geolocates the laptop in the US. That’s worked out a couple of times…

            Ultimately, persistence and a big dollop of good luck.

                A relative of mine does the same. Him & his mate have a couple of mobile phones and laptops and constantly redial. They get tickets for almost every event. Last year they got tickets for every stage of the Euros.

                vinnyt77 having dynamite almost instant refresh internet is critical - I got a tepee at Glastonbury in twenty seconds and there were 30 of us trying with multiple devices.

                    I don’t even bother with trying to get tickets, just pay for the hospo.

                      Amps Prob why Marc Bolan never spoke to him again?

                        nicksneddon Never knew this was an option

                        You still have to know someone I think.

                        I’ve got a couple of people who can sort, got mine for £600 this year.

                          Well worth it that. Think we’re just gonna get the coach tickets next year

                          Have done the tepee (which doesn’t sleep 30). Just takes away the stress of not getting a decent camping spot etc (like the worthy view tents).
