The Battle for Glastonbury has been fought. For the first time I am going to Glastonbury. I am not sure if I will like it, but I really wanted to give it a go and as H says it is something you have to do while you can.
Tickets went on sale at 9.00 and I couldn’t have been any later than 9.05, but I couldn’t get onto the site, I kept refreshing for about an hour as friends updated their facebook status to say that they had got them. For another hour I tried refreshing with no luck, still not on the site. Then I got a call from Dev, and a friend of a friend had been lucky enough to get 2 sales windows open, so we fed him our details and managed to get tickets that way.
After 3 hours I didn’t get anywhere close to getting tickets, I did get RSI from refreshing the page. I am glad that I did though as they sold out in under 5 hours. Not that I would have lasted 5 hours to get tickets.
I still hate seetickets.com. Now I have 2 things to wish for, Sun and Radiohead.
As someone put on Twitter “If I spent this sunday pressing refresh to get U2, someone is getting a pitchfork to the nads” I second that.
