Don't forget that all balances need to be paid off in full before the end of the month.  Total for 1 ticket is 134.50 inc booking fee, postage etc

The remaining amount needs to be paid by midnight on Feb. 1st.

Sadly I'm not going to be able to do this, as the recession has seen me take a 400 quid a month pay cut in order to keep my job. It's apparently til the end on March then normal service will be resumed, but I can't afford to go to Glasto this year on my current wage.

Bollocks.

I took the less sensible option in similar circumstances. Similar temporary pay cut is probably only until March. We'll see. Irony is that deposit+balance+earlier time frame has actually made it harder personally.

Pondering: How many of the tickets Michael Eavis has said are 'sold' will be returned deposits? Seems a long time ago (in that a lot has happened) since I put my deposit down. It really was touch and go for me, I suspect a lot of others are in a similar position.

I doubt they've sold all the 137,000 tickets, especially at a time when people are losing jobs & money is becoming increasingly tight. I'd guess that those figures are based upon deposits being sold before cancellations. In short: it's typical Eavis spin that we see (''best festival ever!!'') each year.

If my wage goes back up then I'll grab a ticket in April, but right now I don't know what's going on.

Bollocks.
