Evening all.
Having been caught out last year, I thought I'd let all you good people know about the Glastonbury 2004 ticket arrangements, which I have just googled.
Tickets go on sale 8pm Thursday 1 April 2004. Cost is £112 plus booking fee and P&P. Tickets are restricted to 2 per person and transactions will be monitored. Tickets themselves will be personalised to prevent reselling - gate checks will be performed.
Tickets will be available only from the direct booking line 0870 830 2004 or through www.aloud.com.

Sorry, this comes from my aversion to fests over the last couple of years, on the grounds of my not really enjoying the whole bonhomie of getting dirty.
I take a lot of stick for this from my rock and roll friends, including accusations that I am just a blatant snob.

Perhaps I should have wanky-ed. You probably think that I'm picking on you today - I promise you that wasn't intentional.

Not at all H! It was more in case someone reading this suddenly developed the idea that I sit here at my computer like some latterday Little Lord Fauntleroy

I'm tired of festivals after a mere three years. It came to a head last year when some ***** opened up the tent at night while me and my gf were in it and stole her shoes. Completely unecessary!
Plus I do not have 100 pounds any more. And I think glastonburys not publishing the people who will play is pretty mean.

I'll be there! Last year I had an full body Thai massage which lasted over an hour for £15. I just hope those rumours about Eavis wanting Paul McCartney to headline prove false!

I'll second that.
Have they started touring the US yet? If not, my hope for such an occurence runs low - more likely Glasto 2005.
I can wait.
No. There's still nothing official - just rumours so far. This is probably the best place for official news, as Frank Black occasionally visits the forums with news of gigs, new releases and other stuff.

From what I can gather, it's sorta-almost-nearly-gonna-happen. No official confirmation, and I can't explain properly without sounding like some pretentious 'my friend knows Frank Black' arse.
Incidentally the story goes, whether you believe it or not, that a friend of a friend helps run Twisted Nerve records and so has on a few occasions met and is green-room buddies with the Frank. At his last Catholics gig he told said friend-once-removed that reunion was nigh on definite. The only near-proof I have that this story is true is the .jpg of Frank's AAA pass autographed 'with love' to said friend.

I'll be there. Glastonbury is always an amazing atmosphere regardless of who's playing or not. I urge anyone thinking about going for the first time to go - you'll never regret it. It gets safer by the year and much safer than any other big festival I've been to.
As for rumours about the line up, eFestivals.co.uk is the best website I've found and is normally 99% correct with it's listings before the official line up is revealed.
H1ppy (and anyone else for that matter) - if you do make it this year we'll have to have our own little GlastoMeat™ to celebrate.
I'll be going in a hired motorhome again (pause for the usual barrage of "It's not the same!" and "You don't get the same atmosphere in the caravan field" - I disagree). We'll be there for 6 days so a few creature comforts are needed, ok?
That two tickets per person or whatever it is is going to be a bit of a bugger though. I hope they'll allow more than two per address in that case.

After a lot of refreshing I've got two tickets on the way. I never got as far as the confirmation page, just a confirmation email. It may be buckling under the pressure as it managed to ignore my request for caravan and parking tickets I'm sure I can get that sorted though. By the way, you can try the international ticket line (they are accepting bookings from the uk too) the number is 01159 934170 (+44 1159 934170 from overseas)

After an hour spent with the booking page apparently failing to complete, I get an email confirmation for me and bessie mate! Yay! (I hope). No idea if my mates have managed to book the other 4 tickets needed for our group though.
That's the crappest booking process that I have ever been through.

I just got my "confirmation" email from that mirror site, but I'm still not 100% convinced I haven't handed £240 over for nothing.
Hippy, what email address was your official confirmation from?

Mine was from helpme@seetickets.com
But, I never got confirmation from the website, I just kept on pressing Confirm & Back buttons when the transaction didin't appear to have completed. So, I'm like Keef in that I still have that "not quite sure" feeling about whether I've been successful or not.

just read this on another board..
I've had a word with the tech's in my place(an IT company) and they said it's OK.
Freya is a sub domain of www.wayahead. Whoever registers the main domain creates the sub domain and only they can do that. In essence it's another page of the main domain, a duplicate.
They reckon it's 100% OK cos it runs off the same IP address as the main wayahead domain.
Hope that helps

In the olden days, right, we used to have to queue round the block, several times, for several days to get tickets for anything. Now there's a whole page on the BBC website dedicated to people moaning about how they had to curl up on the sofa in their pyjamas for a couple of hours on the phone last night And we had to sit through a solid hour of Jimi Hendrix soloing with his toenails, assuming we did actually manage to get tickets after all that.
Mind you, you poor bastards have got Muse to put up with. *shudder*Posts: 8467

That's all I needed - the exact same email address as I got my confirmation from...from the mirror site.
Big relief.
Also, I've since checked it with our entertainment editor, who's put in some calls to check its authenticity. She has since bought her tickets from the mirror site!
