This is yr 2007 Glastonbury ticket buying thread

Less than 24 hours before tickets go on sale and ARGH, my home internet connection isn't working. WHY OH WHY MUST THIS ALWAYS BE SO TORTUROUS?

The upshot of this is, if there's anyone who knows me, lives in London and has enough money in their account, it's possible I might need you to buy my ticket for me. I'll be able to reinburse you asap, but email me on my usual Gmail address.

― Matt DC, Saturday, 31 March 2007 15:18 (eighteen years ago)

Also, I want to keep track of who is and isn't coming this year.

― Matt DC, Saturday, 31 March 2007 15:19 (eighteen years ago)

what time do they go on sale? we aren't going, btw.

― toby, Saturday, 31 March 2007 17:23 (eighteen years ago)

9am I think?

― Matt DC, Saturday, 31 March 2007 17:40 (eighteen years ago)

Car drivers - don't forget your car-parking permits, you have to buy them at the same time I think.

― braveclub, Saturday, 31 March 2007 19:12 (eighteen years ago)

yes 9am

― CarsmileSteve, Saturday, 31 March 2007 21:13 (eighteen years ago)

Yes 9am.

I thought their email reminder was v.confusing. It made it look like you needed the credit card details of everyone you are buying for.

I guess, with many people covering their backs by getting everyone in their party to try for the group's tickets, initial, pre-duplicate-weeding sales will potentially lead to an even faster sale than usual. I see they have aleady scheduled a second sale on April 22 to cover this, but I wonder if *any* duplicates will be caught on the day itself.

ha ha lolz @ festival w@nkers.

― Charlie, Sunday, 1 April 2007 01:28 (eighteen years ago)

morning

well the official glato site is already running like a dog at 8.40, that's a good sign eh boys and girls?

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:40 (eighteen years ago)

in fact it's "service unavailable"

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:40 (eighteen years ago)

and the seetickets website is gerfuckened as well...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:44 (eighteen years ago)

seetickets looks like a redirect, which they may well take off at 9

― peteR, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:44 (eighteen years ago)

Connecting to remote host busy.seetickets.com

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:46 (eighteen years ago)

Ugh hungover. On the plus side I met a girl last night who told me how you can get into North Korea, that might be an alternative if this whole ticket thing goes tits-up.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:47 (eighteen years ago)

i'm just getting "this page cannot be displayed"...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:48 (eighteen years ago)

i take it yr connection is working now then matt :)

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:50 (eighteen years ago)

With girls?

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:52 (eighteen years ago)

looks like the redirect is busy :(

― peteR, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:53 (eighteen years ago)

hehe, morning N. i was, in fact, refering to matt's first post, i have never doubted his connection with girls ;)

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:53 (eighteen years ago)

Carsmile, I think it's working okay although it's been in fits and starts. Thanks for yr txt, Pete has kindly offered to oblige if there's a crisis.

Now, you'd *think* that only people who'd actually registered would be trying to get through, but I bet it doesn't work out like that.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:55 (eighteen years ago)

i wonder if it's even worth trying to phone...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:55 (eighteen years ago)

Anyone know the phone number?

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:56 (eighteen years ago)

0870 165 2007

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:56 (eighteen years ago)

0870 165 2007 (International Sales +44 115 993 4183).

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:57 (eighteen years ago)

so o guess you could try the bristol number too...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:57 (eighteen years ago)

here we go then...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:58 (eighteen years ago)

engaged, surprisingly

Morning my loves. For some reason Seetickets is taking much longer than Glastonburyfestivals even to return a 404 page :)

― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:01 (eighteen years ago)

Happy April Fool's Day, Pete!

HELLO GAME THEORY

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:05 (eighteen years ago)

wait, is there a / at the end of that website address or not? the beeb have one, i'm not getting any luck either way, mind...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:05 (eighteen years ago)

First stab at Freya didn't work. This could be frustrating...

― Pete, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:05 (eighteen years ago)

Slashes at the end don't make no difference either way.

(I have multiple tabs open in multiple browsers trying for it - not sure if this helps or not)

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:06 (eighteen years ago)

On the plus side, my Sony Ericsson phone has an auto-redial (and speaker) feature so I can just leave that running.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:07 (eighteen years ago)

now the advantage here is no one will be geting through at all so it's not like they'll be selling any tickets.

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:12 (eighteen years ago)

Oh dear. This is starting to feel like 2004 all over again.

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:12 (eighteen years ago)

What exactly was it that worked so well last time (ie the one time I didn't actually try and buy tickets)? Why couldn't they just do that again?

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:13 (eighteen years ago)

yes, just a little...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:13 (eighteen years ago)

Rick dude did you register for nu-ILX just for this thread?

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:13 (eighteen years ago)

What exactly was it that worked so well last time (ie the one time I didn't actually try and buy tickets)?

you're answering yr own question there aren't you? ;)

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:14 (eighteen years ago)

the efestivals glato forum has also fallen over...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:15 (eighteen years ago)

Last time it was easy because everyone knew it was going to rain and be shit.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:16 (eighteen years ago)

I have a response!

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:16 (eighteen years ago)

Systems thinking required.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:17 (eighteen years ago)

comeon then, get us past the front page

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:17 (eighteen years ago)

Touch him he's magic!

― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:18 (eighteen years ago)

Rick dude did you register for nu-ILX just for this thread?

Yes, yes I did. Damn you Eavis!

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:18 (eighteen years ago)

are there any girls going this year?

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:19 (eighteen years ago)

Can't get any further than the front page tho. The link for uk tickets appears to be http://www.seetickets.com/g2007/regform.asp?orig=uk

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:19 (eighteen years ago)

worth a go, somewhere else to press f5 i suppose...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:20 (eighteen years ago)

Girls are too smart to be up at this hour.

― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:22 (eighteen years ago)

It's just occurred to me that in 2004 we went to the pub, had several pints, went home, went to bed, went to work the next day before anyone could actually buy tickets. Oh Jebus.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:22 (eighteen years ago)

So yeah, FAP anyone?

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:23 (eighteen years ago)

It wasn't quite that bad: IIRC, I got my ticket at about 1am.

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:24 (eighteen years ago)

see when the wembley tickets went on sale and a similar thing happened they literally sold like 1000 tickets in the first 90 minutes...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:24 (eighteen years ago)

My friend just bought me and him our tickets!

well i'm heading down to the pillars of herc after the radio show.

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:24 (eighteen years ago)

(x-post to rickyt) me too! but then i caused a panic by noting that the email was from a different website, and failed to sleep at all through worrying, iirc.

― toby, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:25 (eighteen years ago)

oi, you're not comin gthis year, what are you doing up at this time?

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:25 (eighteen years ago)

Toby is getting married.

I got through, do I want Coach Travel???

― Pete, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:26 (eighteen years ago)

there's also one obvious thing to do with n's url

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:26 (eighteen years ago)

No s!

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:27 (eighteen years ago)

Tried no s, still going through to busy.

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:28 (eighteen years ago)

hi dere. *two thumbs up* (oo x-post)

― Alan, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:28 (eighteen years ago)

I fear we may be living on past glories.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:30 (eighteen years ago)

... hanging around at the gates ranting incoherently about how freya said she'd put us on the list.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:31 (eighteen years ago)

hmmm, how can i go and put the kettle on and press f5 at the same time...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:31 (eighteen years ago)

https://www.seetickets.com/g2007/

Adding an s got me to page 1 where the unconsidered coach travel question was flagged up!

(gah, massive x-post, had forgotten they work now) i'm listening to free jazz and chatting to my sister who is trying to buy glasto tix. i should really be doing something more useful though.

― toby, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:33 (eighteen years ago)

well clearly we want coach travel, but we don't ahve to book it now do we?

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:33 (eighteen years ago)

There's some batsh1t scheme involving packaged coach travel, which means you do not get given yr Glasto ticket until you are on the coach. The chances of this actually working properly are approx nil, I reckon. I checked the National Express website this morning, and it seems like they are running services as normal, so I wouldn't bother if I were you.

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:34 (eighteen years ago)

ooh a page!!!

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:35 (eighteen years ago)

oh it's gone again...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:35 (eighteen years ago)

I am going for without (to book later), though cannot get past that page yet!

― Pete, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:35 (eighteen years ago)

I am running a sweepstakes over whether Lex or Barry will appear to make a smug comment first. My money's on Barry, only because he's more likely to be up at this hour.

A front page, hooray!

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:36 (eighteen years ago)

ian, have you registered for ilx2?

say hello to ian everyone :)

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:38 (eighteen years ago)

what if i make a smug comment before either of em?

― Alan, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:39 (eighteen years ago)

we will shun you. also you are ONE OF US rly

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:40 (eighteen years ago)

Someone on the efestival's site just put a Bristol woman's home phone number up on the site by mistake. I bet she's happy right now.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:41 (eighteen years ago)

so has nick gone back to bed?

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:41 (eighteen years ago)

I am thinking of having a bath.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:42 (eighteen years ago)

SUCCESS!

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:43 (eighteen years ago)

i hate you

(i love you really)

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:43 (eighteen years ago)

Secret of yr success?

― Pete, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:44 (eighteen years ago)

So has no one here except me actually got a ticket yet?

(that's my smug bid)

x-post!

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:44 (eighteen years ago)

There was no secret, oddly. It just worked when I clicked on the link for the grillionth time. Doop got his that way as well.

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:46 (eighteen years ago)

Another friend of mine has got hers too. Time to panic, non-ticketholders.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:46 (eighteen years ago)

back and click or just f5?

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:47 (eighteen years ago)

Clicking seems like the way to go.

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:48 (eighteen years ago)

man this is no way to spend a sunday morning...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:50 (eighteen years ago)

To be clear: clicking on the link from https://www.seetickets.com/g2007/ ?

― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:51 (eighteen years ago)

Yep.

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:53 (eighteen years ago)

I am running a sweepstakes over whether Lex or Barry will appear to make a smug comment first. My money's on Barry, only because he's more likely to be up at this hour.

you lost!

i have not been to bed yet. gareth and i agreed that of all the lame excuses for not coming to see carl craig this is possibly THE VERY LAMEST.

― lex pretend, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:54 (eighteen years ago)

Lamer than "my tooth hurts"? Surely not?

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:55 (eighteen years ago)

Also, fuck you.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:56 (eighteen years ago)

if you remember, i went to see carl craig that night, two days after major dental surgery

― lex pretend, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:56 (eighteen years ago)

i now have to buy alix's. this isn't really fair is it.

― blueski, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:59 (eighteen years ago)

yes.

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:59 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not sure if I could tell the difference between Carl Craig and major dental surgery.

― Pete, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:59 (eighteen years ago)

what else are you going to be doing?

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:00 (eighteen years ago)

sleeping obviously

― blueski, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:00 (eighteen years ago)

so 1 hour in and Rickyt and N are the only ppl with tickets?

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:00 (eighteen years ago)

[my pitch for smuggest post:]

ok, now i have to not buy emma's ticket. LOLZ

― Alan, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:01 (eighteen years ago)

booked!

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:04 (eighteen years ago)

HOW?!

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:06 (eighteen years ago)

If I start from the http://www.seetickets.com/g2007/ page, I can now reliably get through to the order form by clicking on the appropriate link.

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:08 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, HOW!

Bah!

Rick, you sure that's not just yr cache? Can't get past choose yr own coach adventure page.

― Pete, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:10 (eighteen years ago)

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:15 (eighteen years ago)

Cheers Carsmile yay! I haf ticket!

I HAF TICKET!

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:21 (eighteen years ago)

i think my sister's given up and gone back to bed - if any of you do find a foolproof way, let me know (it's her birthday that weekend, too).

― toby, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:22 (eighteen years ago)

Aha...now 3 months of trying (very half-arsedly) to post and not being able to makes sense. "Register", "Log in". Such a simple process.

Hello. My friend got my tickets. I'm trying for someone else now.

If its worked for you - have you used wayahead or seetickets?

― hobart paving, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:22 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, yeah, Matt, I used yr gmail address for the confirmation, if that's ok?

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:23 (eighteen years ago)

― Mark C, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:25 (eighteen years ago)

Rick - yeah, that's the right address. Thanks again! The terrifying wait for a confirmation email now begins.

Is there a TV in the Pillars of Hercules? If I can watch the Spurs game I will come along for celebratory pintage.

(Rick dude, you did specify it was a Switch card, right? Panic)

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:26 (eighteen years ago)

― ken c, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:01 (eighteen years ago)

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:01 (eighteen years ago)

EH? that's mental...

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:02 (eighteen years ago)

jeez...

― toby, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:05 (eighteen years ago)

No way, that's menko.

Toby, who are you trying to buy for?

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:10 (eighteen years ago)

my sister.

― toby, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:10 (eighteen years ago)

(although i think she's asleep, so even if i get through i'll have to hope she answers her phone to give me her details).

― toby, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:11 (eighteen years ago)

did they advertise this coach thing before today?

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:11 (eighteen years ago)

I reckon they'll be quite a lot for sale on the 22nd so full-scale panic not required.

Got the email confirmation now too. Hurrah! There's no going back.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:15 (eighteen years ago)

(cries)

― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:15 (eighteen years ago)

Dude, coach ones are still available!

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:22 (eighteen years ago)

yes, we have to send someone on it to find out how it works :)

― CarsmileSteve, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:23 (eighteen years ago)

can't get on the '+ coach ticket' page

― blueski, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:32 (eighteen years ago)

So this coach thing really forces you to go on the coach by holding your ticket back till you get on, yeah? I presume this is to cut down on the proportion of people driving to the festival. But what if you want to go by train or unicycle? This initiative puts the mental back in environmental.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:37 (eighteen years ago)

You want to go by unicycle = you are a juggler. It's a good deterrant.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:39 (eighteen years ago)

Coach tickets gone now as well.

― RickyT, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:44 (eighteen years ago)

Apparently you get given a time of a specific coach, if you don't get on that one then yr fucked.

My lovely friends from back home rang me up and took all my details... during which coach sold out.

― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:47 (eighteen years ago)

i won

― g-kit, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:49 (eighteen years ago)

The circus tent was the best thing going in the previous Glastonbury!

― ken c, Sunday, 1 April 2007 10:56 (eighteen years ago)

my sister's friends got her a ticket over the phone while she was asleep, it turns out :-)

― toby, Sunday, 1 April 2007 11:04 (eighteen years ago)

H-how?

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 11:07 (eighteen years ago)

Oh.

― Alba, Sunday, 1 April 2007 11:07 (eighteen years ago)

It's not really sold out, is it?

― Mark C, Sunday, 1 April 2007 11:08 (eighteen years ago)

gareth and i agreed that of all the lame excuses for not coming to see carl craig this is possibly THE VERY LAMEST.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Monday, 2 April 2007 09:08 (eighteen years ago)

Argh that site is annoying, why aren't the festivals in alphabetical order like on sensible websites?

"Babyhead - Strong Rumour"

― Matt DC, Monday, 2 April 2007 09:12 (eighteen years ago)

Only person I know here is ken c, unless usernames are confusing me. ken, do they have CS @ glasto?

― g-kit, Monday, 2 April 2007 10:56 (eighteen years ago)

Ok, i've read through again and I think I've managed to work out that rickyt, carsmile steve, matt dc, ken c and emsk have tickets. Anyone I've missed?

― g-kit, Monday, 2 April 2007 12:12 (eighteen years ago)

― g-kit, Monday, 2 April 2007 12:34 (eighteen years ago)

i am bringing the russian

are you sure this is a good idea?

― CharlieNo4, Monday, 2 April 2007 13:01 (eighteen years ago)

mmmm russian

― ken c, Monday, 2 April 2007 13:13 (eighteen years ago)

The only way I'm goin' to festivals is if we're playin' them!

Speaking of which, Emsk...? ;-)

Take The Russian to Reading, and when the annoying teenagers start burning things, she will show them how it is done by burning them. IN RUSSIA, FESTIVALS BURN YOU!!!

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 2 April 2007 13:15 (eighteen years ago)

i am bringing the russian

are you sure this is a good idea?

haha she'll be fine... also if i do manage to get an upgrade she doesn't want to (bloody pricey) so i may have an escape hatch.

kate, i have talked to r about truck and there is no answer - truck is changing - www.thisistruck.com.

― emsk, Monday, 2 April 2007 13:48 (eighteen years ago)

an upgrade? to a full whack posho ticket? aren't they THREE HUNDRED POUNDS? sheesh. or will your swank new paymasters "sort" you "out"?

also emsk, please to confirm tomorrow night comedy goodness!

― CharlieNo4, Monday, 2 April 2007 13:50 (eighteen years ago)

Does "no answer" mean no, or does it mean "we won't tell you either way until the absolute last minute"?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 2 April 2007 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

Actually, we should take this to email.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 2 April 2007 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

yep, they are £300. however i am now being paid in MONEY not BEANS and would prob shell out for it - ok by most london waged people's standards i am still hopelessly impoverished but by mine i am LOADED, and i'm so used to not spending money i sort of don't know how to. but i think this would be an example of using it well. also they may indeed "sort" me "out" - they are trying, but it is up to the glastonbury overlords how many tickets they get.

xpost (OMG HELLO XPOST NOTIFICATION I LOVE YOU WELCOME HOME) - it means, there is no answer, even as to how to submit yourselves for consideration. changes are afoot, basically.

― emsk, Monday, 2 April 2007 13:57 (eighteen years ago)

and comedy i said yes a week ago!

― emsk, Monday, 2 April 2007 13:57 (eighteen years ago)

oops. that truck website is rubbish, what the hell is it?

― CharlieNo4, Monday, 2 April 2007 15:21 (eighteen years ago)

it is the dawn of a new era
