I think the system was good this year but it was let down by a few problems and both the internet and phone network not being able to handle the demand.

It was also a big mistake not kicking people off the website once they had bought one set of tickets.

It was also frustrating having to wait over an hour at each sale to find out that all the tickets had been sold.

Speaking as someone who failed to get a ticket and has suffered immense frustration, only alleviated by the offer of some work as a litter picker, my message to the Eavis family is - don't extend the registration deadline next year! Why on earth did you allow more people to register for Glastonbury in March when you'd made it clear that registration was for the month of February only?
You were already over-subscribed! Don't be greedy!

I got two tickets on the original sunday, my heart nearly stopped, i had over 20 windows of internet explorer running waiting for one to load, low an behold 2 hours later i was in possesion of 2 tickets!! Alot of mates were let down but were ok when it came to the coach sale, I think this way is ace, people who actually want to go get to go!!

A terrible experience. I tried to connect to the website with no luck for at least three hours. The phone was not much better either. Very frustrating and annoying. I went in 2005 and had a blast. Maybe next year I'll get lucky!

i tried, and tried and tried again, never got through on the ticket line, very upset, i look forward to glastonbury so just hope more tickets become available or win a ticket, thought about sending begging, pleading letters to michael but i imagine he gets 1000's a day doing same thing. boo hoo ! :(

I was unable to get tickets this year, would it not be fairer if the people that registered this year and were unable to get tickets were put on a data base and get first choice next year

So how do you manage to get Glasto tickets ever!! Have been going with my kids since my son was born (he is now 20)having always lived in Somerset. Getting tickets then was never a prob. Since moving to Dorset 5 years ago have never been able to go. Sites crashing before tickets going on sale and phone lines perm. engaged. PLEASE let us know what we have to do? We are now 50 somethings and have resigned ourselves that our Glasto days are well and truly over.

It's good to know no touts are out there this year ripping people off -the system almost worked -just need to sort out the glitch that allowed the lucky ones who got through to the site to remain there - blocking the chances for everyone else!

Massively frustrating all round; the extension of the registration period by a week when numbers were already more than double the number of available tickets (what were they playing at? trying to ensure there would be even more disappointed people not able to get tickets? at least touts don't change the rules half way through), trying to get through on the phone for 8 hours before finally connecting and being told tickets had all sold out in 90 mins (didn't have comp at home so was on the phone) and then a similar experience on the resale day.

I think this year was very frutrating. It also discriminated against people who may be on low incomes and cant afford a computer or the cost of being on line for that length of tim. AS a local living only 1o miles from Glastonbury I failed to get tickets on the first trawl and when I rang for a local ticket was told my village was not on the "local" list but Warminster in Dorset was, I wrote to Micheal eavis and got a ltter back from the Glastonbury festival office to say Warminster was definately not on the list. Sounds to me like the left hand doesnt know wat the right hand is doing. I also spoke to a local girl who asked for four local tickets and they asked her adress which was in Street but didnt want wat to know the address of the other three. How is that fair?

I would suggest the ystem works for stopping the touts - which is good - but it doesput some people at a distinct diadvantage at the start.

Why not get people to register - this process was fine and draw tickets on a lttery type basis - that way evryone has an equal chance of getting a tket and doesnt cost them a fortne doing it.
