What are the changes to ticket sales procedure in 2007?
As part of Glastonbury Festivals continuing campaign to combat touting, pre sales registration is being introduced this year. Everyone wanting to buy a ticket for the 2007 Festival will first have to register. This will mean supplying your contact details and a passport standard photo. Each ticket sold will feature the photograph of the person in whose name it is registered and will be non-exchangeable.“It’s a much fairer system,” says Michael Eavis. “It means unscrupulous people won’t be able to sell their tickets on for a profit. The people who buy the tickets on 1 April will be the people who are actually coming to the festival.”
You will need to register between February 1st and 28th, 2007. You will be able to register both ‘on-line’ and by post. There will be no charge for ‘on-line’ registration but postal applications will need to be accompanied by 2 First Class stamps to cover postage and processing. Forms will be available for download from the registration site which will go live on February 1st, as will the ‘on-line’ registration site. Forms will also be available from February 1st from all Millets stores; Millets will donate 10p for each form issued to WaterAid, one of our Worthwhile Causes.
Information about how to access the registration site, together with full details of how tickets will be sold in 2007 and their cost, will be announced on this site before the end of January.
(Please note that no information collected by registration will be offered for sale or use by any third party organisation. Unsuccessful ticket applicants will have their data destroyed and all ticket holders’ registration details and photos will be destroyed within one month of the event.)
How can I play at Glastonbury 2007?
The deadline for the Emerging Talent Competition has passed. Thank you to everyone who entered the competition - and good luck!
Am I too late to get a stall at Glastonbury?
Thousands of applications from food traders, craft stalls, importers of goods from the third world, charities and campaign groups have been received over the last four months. Applications are now closed. Many thanks to all that have applied. The Festival will reply to all applicants before February 14th 2007.
Who’s playing?
Anything you read about confirmed performances at Glastonbury 2007 is speculation and rumour. Many, many exciting discussions are underway which should give Glastonbury 2007 the best line-up anywhere in the world. No announcement about the line up will be made by the Festival before tickets go on sale.
Will there be any changes from previous years?
There are always changes each year – last Festival saw the replacement of the Dance Tent with the new, vibrant Dance Village, and the relaunch of the New Tent as the John Peel Stage. Both an increase in the licensed figure for the next Festival, and the possibility of renting additional land to provide more campsite space, have already been discussed in the media. Any proposed changes will of course be part of the licence application, which will not be heard until January 2007.
