Maybe.

Let's see how ticket day goes.

FledNanders · 02-09-2013 4:46pm

I've done the registration etc so fingers crossed.

Is it only 1 ticket per registration or what's the story? Kind of unclear from what I've read on the site.

1 ticket per registration, as your picture is linked to your registration.

You can then get something like 10 8 tickets on the day at each attempt, if you have the registration number and matching details for the other people.

Mince Pie · 03-09-2013 3:40pm

Just registered for this as well! Never been to Glastonbury but would give me right arm to go next year seeing as I missed EP this year.

Better start saving.

Glastonbury Festival (official) founder Michael Eavis has revealed that the 2014 headliners have never played the festival before... Let us know who you think should top the bill next year!

I seen a few early reports linking Madonna and Prince as neither have played before. No interest in seeing Madonna.
But have Pearl Jam ever played Glastonbury? They are releasing new album and announced they are going to tour in 2014.

ghostdancer · 04-09-2013 12:23pm

Fleetwood Mac? weren't they mentioned as possible headliners before this year's were announced?

Toast · 04-09-2013 12:44pm

No Bowie so. Fleetwood Mac sounds likely. I doubt either Madonna or Prince would take the pay cut expected to play the main stage. Expect at least one of the headliners to be an indie rock band who will get lots of people complaining that they shouldn't be headlining as that seems to be Eavis' way as of late. Kasabian?

melekalikimaka · 04-09-2013 12:48pm

No Doubt <crosses fingers>

FledNanders · 04-09-2013 12:57pm

If Kasabian get anywhere near a headline slot I'll be well p*ssed off. Can't stand them.

Arcade Fire? New album on the horizon...

ghostdancer · 04-09-2013 1:12pm

Kasabian, Arcade Fire and No Doubt have all played before though....
finding any band/act that hasn't played before that is big enough to headline would be pretty tough really...

Toast · 04-09-2013 1:16pm

Oh I misread the sentence and thought it was never played headliner before... that does change it a bit. Ill have to think about who'd fit that.

alastair · 04-09-2013 2:39pm

It's already been leaked that Elbow will be headlining the pyramid stage one of the nights. Doesn't do it for me, but then I had no interest in seeing either the Arctics or Mumfords this year and it didn't impact my enjoyment a bit.

They have - but Eavis isn't really to be trusted with these hints - he's a long record of pure guff. The long-running probable shoe-ins for next year have been Elbow and the Stone Roses (who would qualify under the latest Eavis edict).

Really hope its not the Roses tbh , wouldnt mind Elbow but too much but not sure if they are headliners ? 2nd stage yea you could through them there .

As said id be amazed if Fleetwood Mac were not one of the headliners

Queen-Mise · 04-09-2013 10:46pm

Just registered my hubby and me. What are the chances. I would give a less favoured body part to go to Glastonbury.

What day are the tickets out.... And can you part pay?

Don't think the official day is out yet but it will be a Sunday in October. Chances are good if you are up at 9am, are methodical, don't panic and work with a group. It takes about 4hrs for it to sell out and that is simply because the system can only process so many requests at a time. You've to keep hammering the site to get your chance to buy. One person getting through can get up to 8 tickets (but they need the registration details of 8 people).

There is a one off deposit payment of 50 sterling. The rest (probably 160stg) will be payable in February. Dates/prices subject to be revised as the price keeps on going up each year.

So it is a case of keeping hitting a refresh button on the laptop & PC until you hopefully get lucky....

Never even thought about Glasto until this thread. I'll try, and we'll see from there.

Mince Pie · 05-09-2013 1:07am

Balls, I didn't reaslise it would be so cut throat and I don't have a "gang" to work in tandom with. Just me.

Gonna throw a big curveball out there and say Metallica, they've never headlined before and were gonna play in 99 before they pulled out, they were never announced but pulled out of talks, i interviewed Lars for Kerrang (a fan comp) and asked him about Glastonbury, he was keen and said talks were at an advanced stage. I told him they don't do day tickets so Metallica fans would have to sit through 3 days of shite to see them, he seemed pretty taken aback at no day tickets.

The band have changed now and seem to be playing area's they've never done before, and a headline slot at Glasto will surely be one to tick off the bucket list, they also come over a LOT in June/July to play festivals, they didn't this year so definately will next year

Eavis has an aversion to metal/heavy bands. Fear of crowd crushes following bad experiences in Roskilde etc. I'd be surprised.

Last year it sold out in 1 hour 40 minutes. A record they will probably break this year as they had DNS issues that slowed it down last time. Gone are the days of it selling out in 4 hours.

Metallica are probably one of the biggest grossing touring bands of the last 20yrs, Eavis will have them without a doubt

mutley18 · 05-09-2013 12:05pm

When does the registration for this close?

Toast · 05-09-2013 12:32pm

Just before the ticket sale (sometime in october.)

I think it was something like 1 week before the tickets go on sale, end of September / start of October.

Right, you can pay a deposit of 50 sterling if you can get through to getting a ticket. There's a window of about 3-4 weeks sometime in May where you can pay the rest as far as I can remember.

As for actually trying to get the tickets themselves? Well, the more people you have trying, the better. If you have nobody else going you may want to try to arrange a few people who are also trying to get tickets to try as a group. you can buy up to eight tickets so if you had 6 other people trying with you and you were also trying for them, then you might have a better chance.

I had a PC, a laptop, a netbook connected through phone data and phone itself trying. But don't despair, you have every chance of getting tickets. I managed to get tickets for the last four Glastos and my friends managed to get tickets for 8 or 9 years in a row.

The main thing is to get registered, make sure you have ALL your details correct (you need to have your reg number AND your postcode when you get through so remember if you put NONE or zeros or whatever. Cut and paste them onto notepad on the day or something)

Good luck.

As for lineup? Who knows at this stage. Elbow were great in 2011 and I'd say they'd do a great headline. They certainly got the crowd going, even moreso than their followon act (U2)!

FledNanders · 05-09-2013 5:07pm

What's the story with selling tickets then? As in surely there'll be some people who buy tickets but then can't go.

Are there designated dates for returned/cancelled tickets to be re-released?

Most bookies are offering them at 33/1 I woulda thought they would be meself but given that Pink Floyd,David Bowie,Black Sabbath, and even reformed Oasis and Led Zep are at 25/1 it would seem to suggest otherwise.

I'll be buying for 2 when they go on sale.

I think in theory its a great idea but you would have to have a trust thing there as well. As in whoever gets through would have to pay the deposits. I'm assuming you would have to be in contact on the morning to call and say you've gotten through and to then give registration numbers etc.
I might need 3 tickets. Waiting on two friends to get back to me to let me know if they want to go for it. So potentially if I got through I could get 5 more tickets. I wouldn't have the money to pay for them though. Cos purchasing 8 tickets would mean having about €550 in my account.

So unless you had the same bank for an instant transfer of cash it would be a bit of a nightmare. I'm not sure how to go about it to be honest but I'd be willing to consider it if there was a solution?

alastair · 09-09-2013 6:58pm

You don't need a group in any case. I got a pair of tickets last year on my tod - and while it was skin-of-the-teeth stuff (10 minutes before they sold out), once I'd got to one ticket screen, I managed to get to more in other windows (I was using two computers with three browser windows in each, and 3G on the phone). In theory I'd have had three opportunities to buy.

Mince Pie · 09-09-2013 7:51pm

So does that mean I can have Chrome and Explorer open on the laptop and Chrome and Mozilla open on the PC at the same time? I'm not great with computery stuff.

It does, but you don't need multiple browser applications - just multiple open windows in the applications.

Oh lord - this is going to be some morning. Any idea yet on what day in October tickets will be on sale.

Guys, how long does it take for the registration to complete.

I registered myself and the girlfriend Monday night around 10.30pm. I received the initial email but have not received the official confirmation (registration number) yet.

I know it says wait up to 24 working hours. Anybody waiting this long?

I am not sure how it is for people living outside the UK, but over here you can only pay by debit card.

Mince Pie · 18-09-2013 10:55am

I got my registration number straight away but it depends on the photo you upload I guess and how busy they are. A friend tried and had to wait for a reply and a rejected photo, so will have to try again.
