Glastonbury 2022

Do we have to pay all the money up front for the resale or is it just a deposit now and pay the rest later?

It is yep

It's been mentioned a couple of times already but what's the rationale for Box Office collection only for overseas tickets? That could add a good hour or two onto an already tough day getting set up.

In 35 years going I've never even seen the Box Office never mind going to it. The only bearable side of that is that I'll be arriving circa 9am on the Thur morning so shouldn't be so bad, the vast majority already on site.

To be honest the way things are now with international shipping / mail im happier picking them up at the box office. If seetickets post them in late May and they go missing you could be fcuked and they won't issue you another ticket.

You're going a long time you know the ticket situation is not like any other gig. I've read on efestivals in previous years where the royal mail lost people's tickets and seetickets refused to issue them another ticket. You'd have to get the postage company to admit in writing that they lost it and then maybe you'd have a chance and who knows how long that would take? All things considered I'm happy enough to make the trek from gate B to gate A.

I moved back from the UK in 2017 so any Glasto I've been to is before then. See Tickets lost my 2013 tickets and immediately replaced them. Since they started handling Glasto the tickets have always had to be signed for so it's clear who has received them and not.

It's an extra annoyance we could do without (far less so if it's dry) but could be a major issue if not organised well. And what irks most is that it's entirely down to greed and not wanting to pay registered post to (mainly) EU countries.

I'm going to email them tomorrow as well. I just got a one line response from seetickets which was basically .. tough ****.

I'll let you know the response I get.

Leaving aside the bsllache of getting from camper van field and back, I want to have the tickets in my hands beforehand....it's part of the build up !

It's a long shot but there's a possibility the Glasto organisers will tell See Tickets to make an exception for Ireland if they get enough complaints.

I'm a pretty happy-go-lucky sort of guy who tends to see the rationale for all sorts of inconveniences. They're built into the first day of the trip to Pilton.

I can deal with getting up at 4am to be at the airport at 6am for an 8am flight. I can deal with the difficulties of getting to the site, the queues for the wristbands, the search for the campsite, getting set up and trying to locate pals to camp together. I can even cope with bad weather as it's out of anyone's control. It's all fine and it'll pass quickly enough.

However, shelling out £14.30 (€17.20) on a booking fee plus postage and packing really should entitle us to have a ticket delivered. There is no other explanation for it other than greed with See Tickets retaining that postage cash and instead forcing us to pick them up on the day at a stand manned by badly paid youngsters they'll not have to spend much cash on. And it won't be swift.

Ugh... That's disgusting! Sorry to hear

I'd urge anyone that is considering seeing someone else when McCartney is playing to consider your choice carefully. I saw him in Glasgow in 2018 and it was without doubt the best concert I've ever experienced. Now I'm a huge Beatles fan so would be somewhat biased but the show was astonishing. 3 hours, 35 odd songs, some of the most iconic music ever written. Obviously he won't he playing for that long at Glastonbury but that probably means the more famous songs will be the playlist. I'll be tuned in from my couch with a beer in hand, wishing I was there and keeping my fingers crossed that he announces some European dates on his Got Back tour.🤞

This lad is also nearly 80

He'll probably be the only headliner I see as well. I saw Billie Eilish on the other stage in 2019 and she was actually pretty good, I knew nothing about her at the time I was just following my group but I've no interest in seeing her again. Bicep are likely to be on West Hosts clashing with Kendrick which is sh!te but I think I'll have to go to Bicep. The down side to a strong lineup is awful clashes.

If it was just Robert Plant and his band doing his solo stuff and a few Led Zep tunes that would pull a big crowd alright but I don't know if Plant and Krauss would be as big of a draw.
