Spent from 9:00 to 9:30 wasting my time on aloud.com then one click on seetickets.com after seeing it on the glasto forums and I had my tickets. Was slightly worried that it was so easy but it went through the same booking system so has to be legit, awaiting emails confirmation now! Happy Days...........

Did the exact same thing....

Oh the relief....

I had a heart attack when I was submitting my details... the pages wasn't loading....

then I realised that in my sleepen state I didn't press the submit button....



that shepton mallet thing is a lil crap alright.... we're flying into bristol on the tuesday and making a week's holiday of it.... Bristol is fairly close to shepton mallet though so that should be cool

anyone know any nice way of getting out to there though... is there a train station etc.

there are no direct public buses to Shepton Mallet from the airport. U can get an airlink type bus from the airport to bristol center but i think you have to get the regular service bus to SM as i dont think the offical festie buses from bristol stop there. So there lies the problem with public transport.

Last year there was a festival service from SM to the site but I heard this was sketchy enough

If there is a few of ya club to gether and get a minibus/ taxi - it solves alll the crap and is apporximately the same price per person if you book ahead

We're staying in a hotel in bristol city centre, it's about 20 minutes from the train station....

ah well... here's hopeing....

Staying in a hotel for the glastonbury festival?
Thats just crazy talk :eek:

hell no!!!!

We're there before the festival starts so we can be first in the gates....

heading to bristol on tuesday afternoon, kipping the night in a hotel to get a good scrub before heading over....

Not so lucky - wish I had looked on here yesterday. Spent the morning pressing redial on the phone. Aload website just gave broken links to all gigs. I was convinced it was an Eircom problem.

I overslept and didn't try the site until 9:25 unfortunately. I know some people who booked several times over getting multiple confirmations later. There must be a lot of tickets that have to be cancelled. I don't suppose there will be enough to go on open sale.

Finally got my tickets confirmed yesterday after about 5 hours - very stressful trying to check yahoo mail every 10 minutes with a crappy mobile phone - all good now

Me neither - booked them yesterday at about 9.45 and thought everything was sorted. Not looking good now.

The guys who haven't received email confirmation, I'd give Aloud a buzz just to see whats happening.

Has anyones credit card been charged yet?

That's exactly the same mail that I got dahamsta - Except curiously my postage and packaging is £4 and that's to a UK address as opposed to an Irish one (which is a little puzzling...).

Well the reason we weren't charged the £4 postage and packing is because international buyers have to collect so we get them slightly cheaper, but i'd rather pay the £4 and get it sent out than the hassle of trying to pick them up with traffic and queues and everything else....
