Comment, mono-banter, irreverent (irrelevant) observations and the deranged ramblings of a cider-soaked festival-er trying to moBlog in the middle of a field, aka Glastonbury Festival 2005 (22 - 27 June, more or less).

Absolute shocker!

Tickets: check.
Tent: check.
Big wellies: check.
Toilet roll: check.
Mates: .... ah.

Just when you think it's all sorted, fate turns around and bites you in the arse. Well, one of my friends' arses anyway. The poor lad had forgotten when he booked his tickets he was already commited to a family occasion. A big family occasion too by the sounds of things. He is now suffering an emotional trauma while simultaneously coming to terms with the fact that he's either lost £130 or has to find a way to sell it on, despite the security.

While I obviously want him to be compensated if he does sell it on, I find it reassuring that the tickets that are selling on eBay are going for semi-reasonable prices. No-one likes rip-off ticket touts but equally it's kinda frustrating that when someone can't use their ticket for entirely honest reasons they are up against the security.

Maybe a returns system for Glasto tickets is in order perhaps? I reckon people would take a £10 or £20 administration fee if they knew their tickets were going through the system legitimately.
