Glastonbury 2011: SeeTickets still isn't up to the job
Although less of a nightmare than in previous years, it still seems from Twitter that the Glastonbury ticket process is still a rotten, tumbling mess:
@Jack_Dent:
# Wasted a Sunday morning trying to book my lad a Glastonbury ticket. Think he may have just got 1 via a mate. The booking system is shite.@JackHCarter:
@glastofest oh great thanks, the bloody See tickets website is still not working #glastonburysucks 10 minutes ago via web in reply to glastofest
@glastofest errrno, it times out. it's a useless, frustrating system. No worries though, you'll sell all the tickets!! about 3 hours ago via web in reply to glastofest
trying get a glastonbury ticket takes the PISS@newmusicdave:
Sold out! Never even got on the website. That's 2 yrs in a row now. Waste of time #GlastonburyHow many years now have they been selling exclusively online, and they still can't get the system to work properly?
@MichaelEavis:
See tickets have indeed let us down today I'm sorry but there will be another sale of cancelled tickets in 2011. Still some left now thoughIf even Michael Eavis, a man who can't see a mudbath without pointing out the rejuvenating properties of Somerset clay, is saying Seetickets isn't up to the job, why are Glastonbury still using them?
[UPDATE: Oh. That turns out not to be an actual Michael Eavis account. Sorry; thanks to the comments which pointed that out.]

@MichaelEavis is NOT Michael Eavis!
that Twitter account is not in fact ME.
that's probably because that's a fake eavis account
regardless of whether the Twitter account is actually his or not, would the real Michael Eavis even have a say in who was selling the tickets? would that not be a Festival Republic call?
and Seetickets is ALWAYS atrocious. Have had tickets sold via them on several occasions (not by choice) with every time resulting in some kind of upset.
@most recent anonymous
Yes, it'd be part of the infrastructure which is down to FestivalRepbulic - it'd be interesting to know how much (the real) Eavis and his team are allowed to influence that sort of decision; presumably they must have some sort of input to the process even if not the final call.
@other anonymouses
Thanks for pointing out that it's a false Eavis.
"How many years now have they been selling exclusively online, and they still can't get the system to work properly?"
None, I don't think. You can still get tickets over the phone.
Utter shite. Waste of 4 hours you owe me. Burn Glastonbury.
