GLASTONBURY!! REAL TICKETS FOR SALE
Not really.But if the eBay hit counters are any indication, there's only one way to get people to look at your auction at the moment.
Write "Glastonbury" somewhere in the ad.
It appears to be nearly impossible to buy tickets through legitimate channels, with 300,000 people hitting the official website at 8.01pm last night.
Nevertheless, tickets have already started to appear on eBay.
Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis approached eBay UK to have them remove the tickets. eBay declined with an official response saying (and I paraphrase) "go away", "leave us alone", "it's none of your business" and "ticket touting isn't illegal anyway".
This seems a touch hypocritcal, since only last week, eBay banned the sale of Eurostar tickets.
But Michael Eavis is only a farmer, so eBay can happily ignore him.
Meanwhile, eBay is ablaze with Glastonbury fever, not just with resold tickets, but fake auctions complaining about the availability of tickets, to people just putting the word "glastonbury" in their auctions to get attention.
(For example, whoever thought up the title Get A Flat Tum For Glastonbury (Ticket)" as a way to sell a toning belt, deserves some sort of prize, or at least an increase in medication.)
Real tickets seem to be changing hands for up to £350 each. Which is a lot of money to pay to get rained on.
M Eavis,sold your soul to the mean fiddler,the land is ours and the lesser spotted horned one in the form of money mad farmer(m eavis)will have to show a ticket upon entry to hell......DOWN WITH THE WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING....
