Like some drowning swimmer, going down for the third time, the Glastonbury ticket purchasing ... er ... experience finally has had its swansong today.
A "small number" (we know not exactly how many) of standard and coach tickets went on sale this morning at 9am, having come from the tickets returned by people in April (including me, having reluctantly sent back a coach ticket for a friend who couldn't make it). With no opportunity for a refund at this late stage it does appear that there really will be no more tickets on sale for the 2007 Glastonbury Festival.
Learning from past attempts, this time I was able to get one for a friend (the same friend who wasn't able to get me her reference number in time in April). You see, after many attempts I have now learnt how the Glastonbury web servers decide who they will accept connections from and - being a bit of a techno-geek - am now hopeful I can use the same technique next year.
How do I do it? Well, it helps if you work for a dot-com or other business who have a big, phat internet connection right into the heart of the UK network. I guess this means I'm going to have to work for this company until I don't want to go to Glastonbury any more. Ah well, never mind...
On that subject, I have only 11 days of work left until the festival. Getting very, very excited now.
