Glastonbury Tickets
Well, how did you get on? With the exception of a few unfortunates, my friends and I all got our tickets between 2am and 11am. I got mine at 2:30 this morning and wasn't sure if I'd dreamt it - enough to send me running for my email to double check the confirmation this morning.
I guess the press will pass comment on the relative merits of this way of selling the tickets. From my point of view it is immensely frustrating. How about this as an idea for next year:
There are obviously way more people than there are tickets. To avoid the mad rush, lack of sleep and disappointment why not allow people to "register" for tickets for a month, say 1st March to 1st April. The idea of using a debit card and only buying 2 tickets is a good idea, so this should be kept.
After the closing date randomly pick names out of the digital hat and allocate tickets to these people. Everyone gets a chance but nobody has to spend 12 hours on the phone. Lets face it we all have better things to do.
