Glastonbury sells out. All over again.
The slightly lower-profile flogging of returned tickets from the Glastonbury Festival took place earlier today, with something in the region of another 20,000 tickets being passed on to new owners. This is the last sale of stand-alone tickets, although what happens to the tickets that get returned from this sale isn't clear.
Or, indeed, what would happen if your house collapsed into the ocean and your parents stopped you going to the event - if only Glastonbury can sell tickets, what do you do then? Will you get a refund and Glasto swallow a loss?
There are some more tickets on offer: there's the returned coach packages which will go on sale this coming Thursday - apparently these are designed to stop people bringing more cars to the event, although we're not sure what would stop someone buying a coach ticket, discarding the travel portion and turning up in the car.
Other than that, you'll be relying on YeoValley Yoghurts instant win competition, XFM's tickets up for grabs or numerous other "don't call it a sponsorship" tie-ins offering places in the mud. Or start offering yourself up as a flunky to Shirley Bassey.

from our "sensible answers for once" dept:
you can get a refund until 5 May
as i understand it, the tickets packaged with coach travel will involve you not actually getting your glasto ticket until you are on the bus, which sounds like such extreme mentalness that all my lot ran screaming from the concept in favour of getting the Nat Express coach as per usual.
where is the registration form for becoming bassey's flunkey though? ;)
