Ticket Resale Consortium

zakmatt · #1 11-04-2011, 03:56 PM

Are there any groups of people here where we can help each other out in getting tickets in the resale?

I was not fortunate enough back in October to get tickets and like lots of others am a bit gutted.

I know that means a hell of a lot of trust as you would have to purchase tickets for somebody you didn't know and then hope they came across with the money .. But to be fair, generally I think that everyone on here is honest and is desperate to get a resale ticket.

I am certainly willing to get somebody elses tickets if I am lucky enough to get through.

Good luck everybody

I got tickets but am helping my mate get his so if i get thru more than once i'll be well up for getting someone but with no money in the bank it would involve a phone call so i can use your card details just to get your tickets. i know its alot to trust someone over the phone you don't know but if anyone wants any help give me a shout!

zakmatt · #3 11-04-2011, 04:31 PM

Thanks, I'll send you my phone number

whatme · #4 11-04-2011, 05:15 PM

In the October sale, me and StinkyW had links open and tweeted on twitter,next minute we had peeps calling us,giving us bank details and everything

It is a lot of trust to put in someone you dont no, but then it is Glastonbury

and in are eyes its just the Glastonbury way

Il be about to help out anyone who needs help (no promises tho

) on sunday

zakmatt · #5 11-04-2011, 05:26 PM

Thanks Whatme,

I'm happy to do that too .. Firstly - I'm gonna try for two tickets (myself & wife) which leaves another two available.

Then if I manage to get through again - Another four (for a group of friends who only want to go together).

Basically, if I'm lucky enough to get through in the first case - I have two additional tickets that I could get for someone.

garym01 · #6 11-04-2011, 05:29 PM

I will be going for tickets and whatme/stinkywitch have agreed to help me out, however, i am more than happy to help others or for others to help me, please PM me with your details and i will pass on mine along with my mobile number.

zakmatt · #7 11-04-2011, 05:52 PM

Will PM you my mobile number now .. thanks

Bell Boy · #8 12-04-2011, 05:28 AM

for the original sale i bought my tickets from work in Saudi Arabia, it was amazingly easy to get through so i dont know if they have some sort of filter for foreign buyers? My UK friends didnt get through once but i could get back in whenever i tried. Anyway, unfortunately on Sunday i will be in Abu Dhabi so i dont know if things will be the same but i am more than happy to try and help anyone out, just send me the details and i will try. Good luck to everyone trying, it is the best feeling ever to see that green see tickets web page when you get through

angelina · #9 15-04-2011, 03:50 AM

unfortunately, my flight was delayed coming back to the uk and I missed out this year. For the first time in years

. I will be up and trying on Sunday to get two tickets and I am more than happy to help anyone and would be really greatful for anyone who can help me. I know theres alot of trust involved but, Im sure we are all in the same boat. How will it work exactly?

Bell Boy · #10 15-04-2011, 07:26 AM

Angelina, i've responded to you message ( i think - never used that part of the site before!), cheers Mark

hijacked_affairs · #11 15-04-2011, 11:40 AM

Hi Mark,

My friend and I missed the original sale this year and I'd love it if you can help us out as well. I'm not really sure how the whole system works since I've never queued with Seetickets(I'm from Canada and my friend is an aussie) before, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Kitty

see my last post on another thread here http://forum.glastowatch.co.uk/anyon...ale-t1827.html

It may help a bit - plus if you can hook up with someone here to help each other out its got to give u a better chance. Good Luck

hijacked_affairs · #13 15-04-2011, 12:14 PM

Thanks Matt.

I'm pretty sure it's near impossible to get a ticket, but maybe we'll get lucky..who knows.

Bell Boy · #14 15-04-2011, 02:20 PM

Hi Kitty, i tend to do things the same was as Mart44 does, i dont wait for the auto attempt that the see tickets system does every 20 seconds and i too have never got through on the phone, i think thats almost impossible! i have never managed to get through before 9 but i've seen lots of comments from people who have so definatley worth starting form 0845ish (along with everyone else of course). if you want me to try for you from over here send me a personal message and we can exchange contact details, as i said earlier i will be in Abu Dhabi on Sunday and it will be lunch time for me when the sale starts so i will be able to try from there and i'm sure the internet will be better there than our connection at work in Saudi. Good luck for Sunday as its always good to have more good folks from our colonies with us in June

zakmatt · #15 15-04-2011, 02:28 PM

Well, Mr Eavis says there are about 10,000 tickets for resale .. (About 14 mins in on radio interview)

http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...ed.mp3&h=14132

I NEED two .. So anybody wanting to help each other out PM me with their phone number .. And I will do the same by reply.

If anybody gets ''The Magic Page'' up .. We can call each other ..

He said that before the ticket balance payment window closed, and as with a lot of things ME says, it should be taken with a large pinch of salt.

Without knowing how many people are chasing tickets, knowing the number available is irreverent.

zakmatt · #17 15-04-2011, 02:59 PM

Very true ... You have actually cheered me up and I feel there is more hope ...

stinkywitch · #18 15-04-2011, 07:47 PM

Whatme and myself will try to help out as many people as possible, all our friends managed to get theirs in october, so if anyone wants to inbox me their phone numbers I will work down a list of 1st come 1st rung if we do get through. Sorry but we are unable to pay so you would have to be prepared to let me know your details. Up to you but I am very happy to help and if I did run of with your details you know exactly where I will be at the end of June lol.

stardustjunkie · #19 16-04-2011, 10:25 PM

I would love to give a hand, but unfortunately I start work at 12:30pm.

In October, I was getting dressed at the computer chair, doing my makeup one handed while refreshing, and scoffing food all in one go. I didn't move from that chair!

I HAVE to leave for work at 12:10 at the latest.

At 12:05 I got through.

I've never been so relieved in my life.

Good luck to everyone trying for tickets, I hope you all get them!

zakmatt · #20 16-04-2011, 11:31 PM

Bedtime for me ... Early night tonight ...

stinkywitch · #25 17-04-2011, 08:44 AM

Soph · #26 17-04-2011, 08:53 AM

Good luck everyone xxxx

whitey190 · #27 17-04-2011, 09:52 AM

I got through to buy a ticket, clicked order and it said "page cant be displayed"..Then i refreshed and it said order confirmed, you'll recieve an email etc. But i didnt have to verify my card (3d) as i usually do? Has everyone else had to 3d verify?

hijacked_affairs · #28 17-04-2011, 10:02 AM

I didn't have to and no email confirmation as of yet, but I'll give it another 12 hours or so before worrying.

whitey190 · #29 17-04-2011, 10:03 AM

Just got my confirmation

Good luck to u

hijacked_affairs · #30 17-04-2011, 10:03 AM

Glasto-worker · #31 17-04-2011, 10:29 AM

good luck

zakmatt · #32 17-04-2011, 10:55 AM

Gutted ... Got through to booking page ... started filling in form .. then it went back to holding page.

Thanks to the people who took my number and messaged me.

I had a list of eight other peoples numbers .. who I assume wrote mine down too.

gedlawson · #33 17-04-2011, 10:56 AM

Is there going to be a second resale?

lisaVW · #34 17-04-2011, 04:19 PM

the same happened to me

((

zakmatt · #35 18-04-2011, 12:37 PM

Still finding it unbelievable that I had eight peoples numbers, who also had mine .. And nobody seems to have got through ...

I even had the booking page up, filled in all the details including debit card, picked the campervan ticket, ticked the agree to terms box, clicked purchase tickets ... and it went back to holding page ... Aaaaaargh !! .. Seetickets really does suck

Think I might have a week abroad at the end of June ...

MrsBee · #36 18-04-2011, 04:42 PM

Same happened to me but I got a message saying "one or more of the tickets you requested is not available". I'm thinking the campervan tickets had run out otherwise why would it let you go through that far with the request for your 2 (in my case) tickets. Would think the system at least would stop you the heartache of inputting all the details and then saying sold out. Most people whose orders crashed out after payment DID have their tickets. I had a screen that said "you have not been charged for this" (wish I had been by mistake!) and no option to go back to try and take off the campervan ticket which I thought might be the problem.

I believe there was a huge error on the coach ticket pages, a very poorly set up system it seems so that people could only do it one at a time and no system for child seats at all! So much for green travel, I'm gathering people are now driving about all over the country to get on coaches they didn't really want to go on, miles away from where they live!!!

Anyway, enough grumbling, lol! I'm keeping a close eye out for changes to the Seetickets page, if you want to PM me your phone number I'm happy to let you know if anything happens on there. (Not sure what I'm going to do about campervan pass tho but will cross that bridge IF I can get anywhere with a ticket)

It might be worth a try after 6th May when the actual cut off for total refunds is.
