j4Ely Folk Festival
The Oysterband are playing the Ely Folk Festival, on Saturday 12th July. The Ely Folk Festival cunningly sells day-only tickets, and even evening-only tickets for the Saturday evening, so it'd be entirely possible to just go to see the Oysterband, or (my preferred option) go for the whole of the Saturday. Anybody else up for this? Mail me if so...
Cropredy Festival
Cropredy is clearly a Good Thing(tm), but I've never yet managed to get there. It's possible to buy a Saturday-only ticket (£28.00), so I'm thinking of wandering down to Oxford on the Friday night, finding a friendly floor on which to crash, and then somehow getting to Cropredy the next day. Again, mail me if you're interested...
Glastonbury

hoiho. Is it true that they're not going to let anybody in who has a resold ticket? How in $deity's name are they going to know?

Date: 2003-04-23 07:12 am (UTC)"GLASTONBURY ACTIVELY MONITORS THE RE-SALE OF TICKETS AND RE-SELLING TICKETS IS AGAINST THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OUR SALE AGREEMENT WITH THOSE WHO BUY TICKETS.
Glastonbury Festival 2003 Limited reserve the right to CANCEL THE PURCHASE of any tickets that are found to be offered for re-sale. This means the seller of these 'tickets' will not receive those tickets and their purchase payment will be refunded.
Please note that this notice and these actions does not effect genuine ticket buyers but the Festival now feels that it is necessary to take action against those who actively re-sell tickets for profit."
In other words: if you buy at an inflated price, you run the risk that the seller won't get their ticket & thus you won't get yours. Buying at face value or thereabouts you should be OK. There's also a tickets-wanted message board on the Glastonbury site itself, so they're clearly OK about people selling on tickets not-for-profit.
