Hi all,
This is a bit of a strange request, but desperate times call for desperate measures (and I am desperate!).
Any keen festival goers among you will be aware that the annual scramble for Glastonbury tickets will be taking place on Sunday 4th October at 9am. I have tried on five previous occasions to get tickets and been unsuccessful every time - failure is NOT an option this year so I am trying to enlist some help. Here is how it works:
I am looking for anyone willing to assist me in trying to get hold of 2 tickets. There is a deposit of £50 per ticket at the time of booking, therefore there will be an initial outlay of £100 for whoever is lucky enough to get through. Upon receipt of the confirmation email (which should come through pretty much instantly), I will transfer by Paypal (or any other method you wish), the £100, plus an additional £20 for your trouble. The remaining balance of the ticket is then my responsibility to pay, you will have no further involvement once the deposit has been paid.
I understand a level of trust is involved here, but think of it like this: If I don't pay up, you contact See tickets and cancel the booking - I lose my Glastonbury tickets. This is NOT something I am going to allow to happen, I can assure you!
I am also happy to use a go-between (Jon, perhaps, if he was willing?) if this offers any additional peace of mind. If there is another payment method that could resolve this problem that I'm unaware of please feel free to suggest it. I can't pay the £100 in advance to everyone, for obvious reasons.
Anyone wanting tickets has a registration number which can only be used once, so in the unlikely event that more than one person gets through, there is absolutely NO risk of both of them buying tickets under my number.
If you are trying for tickets yourself, think of it as a free £20 if you get through (you can buy up to 6 tickets in a transaction). If you are not, think of it as a bit of a competition for minimal effort and an opportunity to literally make someone very very happy by helping to fulfil their lifelong dream of attending Glastonbury!
If you fancy a go, please reply to this thread and if there is enough interest, I will post detailed instructions nearer the time. The basic gist is that you will need to be online at 9am pressing 'refresh' on your browser- it is that simple. I have enlisted the help of friends and family in the past but unless you really want the tickets or have a financial incentive, then the attempts to help have been a bit half hearted (I'm not convinced some of them actually got out of bed to be honest!)
Any questions please ask.
