Tickets for Glastonbury 2011 announced

[Black Rose]

2011 TICKETS ON SALE ON OCTOBER 3RD

Hello again. We're pleased to confirm that tickets for Glastonbury
Festival 2011 will go on sale at 9am on Sunday, October 3rd, costing
£195 (+ £5 booking fee and P&P). You will be able to book your tickets
by paying a £50 deposit per person, either online at
http://www.seetickets.com/g2011
or on the booking line: 0844 412 4635.

There will then be no further UK payments taken until the booking site
re-opens on April 1st 2011, when you will have a week to pay your
balance of £145 per ticket, and to book everything else you might need
(tipis, campervan tickets, parking, insurance). To clarify - it will
not be possible to pay for a ticket in full in October, when only
deposits will be taken.
This extension to our deposit scheme will allow people more time to
save for their tickets, knowing that they have a secured booking. It
will also help the Festival to reduce costs, allowing us to give more
to our joint charities.

Please note, the balance payment window for international buyers will
be for one week from February 25th to March 3rd 2011.

Anyone who decides not to pay their balance in 2011 will be refunded
their deposit, minus a £10 administration fee. Those tickets will then
be put forward to a re-sale, which is likely to be in April or May
2011.

To buy a ticket for Glastonbury 2011 you will need to be registered.
To register your details please click here

-----------

So put your money down on the 3rd and only have a week in which to make the final payments in April time?

The deposit system is a brilliant idea, but only having 1 week to pay your remaining balance and getting other bits is stupid.

[ViVA Child]

YES!


I hope Coldplay really will be back this year!

[Juanma]

^ the same

[Acquiesce]

that's sick , buying a ticket for a festival without knowing who'll come :wtf:

[ViVA Child]

^well theres always the resale!

[Acquiesce]

oh ? :wtf: I Don't know anything about that ...

It's way to expensive anyway

[ViVA Child]

yeah 600 for 2 tix

...but im doing it! :p

you only live once!

[fietssleutel]

I might buy a ticket this year. :wacky:

[arwen88]

^well theres always the resale!
Would you know if a lot of tickets are available for the re-sale ?..
I'm dying to go this year, but I can't know for sure if I'm gonna be available at the end of June yet...

You're so right, we only live once! And to me, Glastonbury is once in a lifetime experience! :smug:

[fietssleutel]

If you do the deposit thing, and you decide not to go, you'll get 40 pounds back. So you'll only pay 10 pounds.


I just hope it's after my finals, but I won't know till November. :nice:

Interesting deal, indeed! :nice:
That would be such a nice way to begin summer! ^^

That's the same question for me, but if I organize my work, I could be free from uni around mid-June *crossing fingers*

[Mimixxx]

I'm still registered from last year so will definitely be trying for tickets this year :D

[Black Rose]

that's sick , buying a ticket for a festival without knowing who'll come :wtf:

That's the thing with Glastonbury, you buy tickets not knowing whom will be playing. Glastonbury is very much more than the music, which is why it will sell out in record time this year without a single band being confirmed as playing.

[Black Rose]

I'm still registered from last year so will definitely be trying for tickets this year :D

Remember to double check to see if your still registered for 2011 Mich.

I think my registration has run out :(

Who knows how many tickets will be in the resale, it depends how many cancellations they get (both from not-paying reminder of balance & cancelling the tickets due to various reasons).

[fietssleutel]

That's the thing with Glastonbury, you buy tickets not knowing whom will be playing. Glastonbury is very much more than the music, which is why it will sell out in record time this year without a single band being confirmed as playing.It's not that unusual though. Generally at festivals like this there's so much to do/see/hear you don't necessarily need a great line up. But most of the time Glastonbury's line up is pretty drool-worthy.

@Acquiesce: Do you know Lowlands? It'll be like Glasto this year in terms of tickets selling out with only a handful of bands confirmed.


Anyhow. I've been dying to go for years and this year I'll finally have the money/means/time to go. But I'll probably go by myself because apparently my friends don't like festivals as much as I do.



By the way, last year a Dutch band self confirmed in August, but I guess nobody in the UK noticed.

[ViVA Child]

i think im going to do what i always do
buy to tickets and find someome to go with

[fietssleutel]

You need to set up an account for you and the person you're going with before you can buy tickets.

If you plan to buy tickets for other people, they all need to be registered - and you will need their registration numbers to purchase tickets on their behalf.

Ta-dam. (http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/tickets/2011-ticket-info)

[ViVA Child]

^I made one last year will that work?

[fietssleutel]

Yes, but you can only buy one ticket per registration number. So whoever you're going with needs to register as well before buying the tickets.

[ViVA Child]

you serious 0.0

oh shit

well looks like ill be buying one ticket after all


thats really really....really annoying -____-

[Stargirl]

I wish I was rich as fuck so I could go. :disappointed:

It would be a few thousand just for me to get there, get a hotel, and tickets.

[Black Rose]

^I made one last year will that work?

If you checked the box saying "keep my registration details for 3 years" than it should work :)

[Mimixxx]

Remember to double check to see if your still registered for 2011 Mich.



I did and I am :D Registered until 2012.

[Raphaele]

is there only one price? 195£

no prices for just a day or two?

[Black Rose]

is there only one price? 195£

5 day tickets are £200* which include camping

They are Sunday tickets available, but they are for local residents only.

*yes I know it's £195, but I'm including the £5 booking fee

Yeah , I know Lowlands.
But that's probably way to expensive too :disappointed:
I think rock Werchter is also very expensive ...

I would be okay to give that much money , but only if I at least know who's comming :o
and the names would have to be very great

I mean , 240 Euro for Glasto , with NO names !
I find that really wierd ...buying festival tickets , and not having a clue who's comming...

You go to a festival for Music right ? :confused:

[Black Rose]

Put your deposit down, if you don't like any of the names which leak out before 1st April (chances are by then 2 of the 3 headliners will be out), you don't have to pay your reminder and get back £40 :)

It's a bit like the other major festivals whom sell a small number of early-bird tickets for the following years festival the week after the current years festival, people buy them not knowing a damn thing whom will play in 2011.

[Raphaele]

thank you Dave

[arwen88]

5 day tickets are £200* which include camping
Didn't know that camping was included, that's good to know.
Thanks for all the info, guys!

[Black Rose]

Car Parking tickets are rumoured to be something stupid like £25 this year

[fietssleutel]

You go to a festival for Music right ? :confused:Only partly in my experience. I'd rather go to a festival where I know I'll have an amazing time with an inferior line up than go to a festival that's crap but has a great line up. The music is important but things like atmosphere and how the festival is run are at least equally important. For example, Rock Werchter is almost as expensive as Glastonbury (usually pretty good names too) but from what I heard the festival itself isn't all that great. :shrug:

And most of the festivals that sell out in a day aren't just known for the bands they book. :nice:

[ViVA Child]

Hey
does anyone know what time tickets go on sale?
I know it says 9 am but in what time zone is that????!!

[Black Rose]

9am UK, so GMT+1 :)

Although it's been known to come on sale a few minutes before hand

[ViVA Child]

so.... thats....... 2 AM my time......???


http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k460/savage1119/fuuuu.jpg

[Black Rose]

Yep.

I reckon ticket sales will be super fast this year because:
1 - It was sunny this year
2 - There is no festival in 2012
3 - People have money in the banks

[ViVA Child]

^true dat... so ill be up and ready an hour before hand.

[Black Rose]

I got tickets at 8-55 last year.

[fietssleutel]

Quick question about the account thingie - I got a confirmation email saying I succesfully registered (also with a confirmation number). Does that mean that the photo has been approved as well? Dunno where/how I should check that. :thinking:

[deaths_friend]

good luck to everyone going for tickets. i really wish i could go in 2011 but living on the other side of the world makes it a little difficult :(

[Black Rose]

I would guess so, it's the registration number you need tomorrow. Good luck everybody getting tickets.

[NumbersGirl]

So did anyone get tickets?

After all of this hoopla, and some convincing from friends, I think I am going to register on Monday to be able to get some tickets during the second round. That is, assuming there are tickets left! Is there any way to find out how many tickets have already sold, and how many are remaining?

It's tomorrow morning.

Based on this year the tickets will go pretty fast, than in a couple days under the cover of silence any failed transaction tickets will go back on sale. Then that will probably be it until Mid-April time when any cancelled/non-paid-up tickets will go back on sale.

[ViVA Child]

HEY!! real quick does anyone know if one person can buy 2 tickets?? cuz my friend forgot to register and now its closed

can i buy a ticked for him

[NumbersGirl]

Only if you have his registration number.
So no.

Registration will reopen on Monday, I plan to register at that time.

[ViVA Child]

oh man

he dun goofed
i told him to register 2 days ago and he didnt do it!


is it hard to get tickets at the resale?
like if he refreshes the page 5 minutes before they go on sale until it starts will he get a ticket?

also are they more expensive at the resale or same price?

[NumbersGirl]

No clue. I'll be in the same boat.

[ViVA Child]

AAHHH it said the "failed to open page" wtf no!!!!

[fietssleutel]

wtf. :mean:

[NumbersGirl]

I read some comments online that last year some people were complaining about the seetickets site. Some people got tickets just fine, some people were trying to get on the site all day last year and couldn't get through and didn't get tickets. You'd think they would anticipate the high amount of traffic that would be on their site. Anyway, hope you get through!

[fietssleutel]

The seetickets site was utter shite. I spent over 4 hours right from the start refreshing 4 different browsers (with about 4 tabs each) on 2 laptops, so I must have refreshed a zillion times. Didn't get a ticket though. The first time I could go onto the seetickets site was when it had sold out already. Grrr.

Pisses me off. :mean:

[Phoebeo]

I wanna go! :/

But my parents will never let me go. :cry:

[Black Rose]

oh man

he dun goofed

At the main resale in April/May time it will be full-priced tickets, still £200

[Black Rose]

Sounds like Seetickets did what they usually do on T-Day and crash :P

Still better than Ticketmaster

Glastonbury 2011 tickets sell out within four hours

All tickets for Glastonbury 2011 sold out within just over four hours of going onsale today (October 3).

The tickets, which were made available online through Seetickets.com/g2011 and a phoneline from 9am (BST), were all snapped up by 1.15pm (BST), according to the event's official website Glastonburyfestivals.co.uk.

In a statement on the site and their official Twitter account, Twitter.com/glastofest, organisers thanked punters for the patience with the booking system.

They said: "We're very sorry to those of you who didn't get tickets, and acknowledge there were some issues with the website/phoneline due to the sheer volume of people trying to get through."

The price for each ticket to the Somerset event is £195, plus postage and packing and a £5 booking fee.

Glastonbury 2011 takes place at Worthy Farm, Pilton. Billed music takes place on June 24-26, with the site opening on June 22.

Founder Michael Eavis has previously said that he will announce the three confirmed Glastonbury headliners once all tickets have sold out.

He also denied plans for retiring from organising the event, stating he has got "another 10 years possibly left in me."

http://www.nme.com/news/glastonbury/53266

[busybeeburns]

Now Eavis, who are the headliners?

[Black Rose]

The Wurzels, Girls Aloud & Westlife

[ViVA Child]

^FUCK NO!

and WOOOO I got my ticket!!!!


it was around 3:45 am my time and I was falling asleep at the desk ...convinced i wasnt going to get anything.

BUT I DID! woooo yay

Question.... the registration was closed for my friend.... will it open again or is it done for this year and hes not going?

[Black Rose]

Registration probably won't open again for a few days, there will be some dips of tickets coming back on sale from failed transactions so keep a look out

[ViVA Child]

thank you very much youve been so helpful!

Are you going Dargarius?

[the_gloaming09]

I still have a feeling Radiohead might headline.


You guys are lucky to have a festival like Glastonbury near you.




...one of these years I'm going to go! :D

[Black Rose]

thank you very much youve been so helpful!

Are you going Dargarius?

Nope.

I'm having a couple years break

[bjaiken]

U2 has to headline after canceling last year. I think that is almost a forgone conclusion.

[ViVA Child]

I think so as well, considering Bono said they were "heartbroken" and wrote a song for Glastonbury

and Micheal Eavis said Coldplay would be back so Im hoping aaaaaahhh Coldplay U2 and ....

fuck i dont care who the third act is if they get two of my fav bands performing in one place.


U2
COLDPLAY
RADIOHEAD

I would ESSPLOODEE from happiness!!!

[fietssleutel]

I want a ticket. :dozey:
