Glasto 2009: Tickets on sale soon
Registration for next year is now open and - take notice people - the tickets go on sale October 5. That's right; in one month's time, at 9am Monday October 5, to be precise.
The cost is £175 (plus a booking fee of £5) but you don't have to cough it all up in one go as a deposit of £50 will do the business until February 1st next year.
Providing all your party of friends and family are also registered, they are, for the first time under this new scheme, allowing you to buy or reserve up to six tickets in one transaction. We think this is a brilliant development as it reduces the chance of disappointing scenario where you get tickets in the spring scrum, but your wannabe travelling mates don't. Nice one Mr Eavis, sir.
Go here to register for the Britain's biggest outdoor music festival that next year runs for five days from Wednesday, June 24 until Sunday, June 28, across 1,000 acres of beautiful countryside at Worthy Farm, Somerset.
Speaking on the Festival website, Michael Eavis says,
”We have come up with a scheme that will allow people a much longer period to plan and pay for their tickets, while still continuing the battle against ticket touting. By paying as little as £50 up front this year, Festival-goers from all over the world will be able to guarantee a ticket for next year’s event. At the same time the very successful registration scheme will ensure that tickets will only go to those named individuals who have reserved them in advance.”

It's musically more on a par with V than ATP.
you forgot that
if you decide you dont want to buy they only give you £40 back
Well the word
"deposit" to be implies you wouldn't get any of it back at all.
£180?
Fucking hell
It has increased
to 5 days. Not my sort of thing, but still good value for what's on.
I'll stick to Primavera.
pay for your festival tickets
in 12 easy installments. Jee-zuz.
That gets truer each year
but at least its not at Butlins.
I still need to go an ATP though.
dude
you haven't live 'til you've been.
Butlins is a goldmine for festivals.
heavenly.
"It's musically more on a par with V than ATP."
WELL DONE. YOU SHOULD BE LIKE SOME KIND OF HUGELY INSIGHTFUL STATING THE OBVIOUS (if you only look at the main stages) AND MISSING THE POINT ENTIRELY GUIDE.
And incorrect
Much as I hate it, loads of ATP types were actually there this year.
Still not going though.
Yeah!
I'll be there! No matter the cost..
an a par with V?
Are you out of your mind? Perhaps on a simple list of the main bands that are playing but the whole point about glastonbury is the literally thousands of things that go on other than the music. Parades, shows, fireworks, art, crafts, dance, constant crazy stuff spread all over the site day and night. Last year on the last day while watching Joan Beaz in the distance I saw they had a group of performance artists hanging by their feet from a crane swinging over the eads of the crowd 'buzzing' them as they went by. And this isn't a 'big event' like it would be at another festival (is if somewhere like reading would have stuff like that) it's just one of the many things that go on. Of course I say all this because I like stuff like this. If you're closed minded and simply what nothing more than to go see pands then sure, go somewhere else...
pands?
*bands :)
also...
One of the best things about Glasto last year? The fact that it was so hard for them to sell all the tickets. you know why? because pretty much everyone that was there were their because they loved glasto. All the people that knock glasto and moan about it not being as good as it used to be (which I'm sure is true) weren't there. Which was bloody great.
er...
can anyone lend me £180? :-/
Complete rip-off
Hundreds of better festivals available for a lot less money!
