Sad face is not enough. Have had tickets every year since '95 and now will have to try my luck in resales.

Surely there should be a pre sale for long-time attenders..
Good luck in the resale.

What are the chances of getting a ticket in resales?

I've seen a lot of success in the resales and there are also secret resales. I missed out in the general for 2014 and found the resale much easier.
i think it really comes down to determination, if you really want to go you will get a ticket in the end.

Confirmation email received! I am excited!

It seemed ok last year. Follow see's tweets for secret ones too.

Edit:- didn't see your reply mince pie.

Very curious - when I was there last year for the first time I met loads of people who go every year. Given the degree of difficulty in getting the tickets, just how is this achieved?

It just seems that way.

Would be nice if they gave us a super secret pre sale option of getting tickets, but then you'd just end up with a bunch of us old gits there and no n00bs getting a look in for tickets.

Neil from eFests didn't even manage to get a ticket this time, although he'll get in by some other means now if unsuccessful in April.

The first year I went I only had myself tryng and lucked out in the resale. This year we have a Glasto crew of at least 20 all trying for our group then other people you meet trying for other groups. Just the more you go, the more like minded people you meet and the more they try and help each other out.
Efests is full of people trying for each other.

What's the deal with secret re sales? How does one avail of them?

You get lucky and happen to have clicked refresh on the ticket page at the moment they turn sales on. I managed to get tickets by just clicking the page for no reason the week after tickets sold out a couple of years ago, then once I'd got mine bought for my brother I told the rest of the internet via efests... about 30 seconds later the page was offline again.

was this the week after the original October sale or the week after the April sale?

Ah no, it'll be April at the earlier as far as I know.

Theres also volunteering work and bar staff work with GBC as other options, normally most folk would apply around November/December for these positions. You probably could volunteer for Glastonbury itself, but usually you volunteer through charity organisations like Oxfam etc. Melekalikimaka will be able to tell you more, he's like Paul on the Efests festival forums working the festivals for the last ten years or so.

After the October sale a couple of years ago. Only happened the once though.

There would be more sales like that after the April sale as tickets end up not being paid for or returned for other reasons.

Post on there very rarely these days. But was one of the regulars back in the early days when it first started.

Guess I'll have to recruit a few friends for the resale. Just watching highlights again from this year, very upsetting!!

So people who did get tickets...... who are we hoping for headliners? Id say Muse might be a good bet? Maybe the Foos since they were supposed to play last year. I'd say Disclosure will be on the bill too but not headlining. Would like to see The Weeknd also.

ghostdancer

hoping for: Radiohead, Prince, Fleetwood Mac.

expect: Foo Fighters, Coldplay, someone else who will have me far from the Pyramid field for a 3rd night.

if they play, Disclosure would probably headline the Other stage, dunno about The Weeknd, maybe subbing the Pyramid. don't know if Glastonbury would book him though.
would love to see Kendrick Lamar play.

MadYaker

Coldplay.... Saw them on the Viva La Vida tour and they were immense but I've disliked every album since then and the direction they've taken really. Noel Gallagher is on tour in 2016 I think? I'd love to see him but I doubt he'll headline. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are working on a new album, dunno when It's gonna be out though...

According to the sun Adele, Coldplay and Foo Fighters are headlining next year, bit underwhelming if true personally.

They are worth the ticket price alone

MadYaker

Adele as a headliner? I seriously doubt that. That newspaper will literally print anything and cite an undisclosed "source", absolute rag

ELO playing the Sunday afternoon it seems:

Evans had Jeff Lynne on his show recently so presumably that's how he knows.
