No early bird tickets this year. All tickets on sale at 10am Saturday 30th. Prepared for the usual omnishambles. There will be the payment plan option thankfully.

but yeah - not looking forward...

We got incredibly lucky for this years. So....I fully expect to be disappointed this time. Circle of life, innit.
And......there is ALWAYS tickets nearer the time, if yr determined enough. People's plans change. Life happens. etc. So.....I wouldn't be COMPLETELY disappointed if the ticketline gods are not rooting for us this year. x

Yeah, Twickets/fanticks is so easy a couple of weeks before that I'm barely motivated for the scramble this time. But I'd like to do Settlers this time so will be joining in.
Any tips for getting in there quick?
So pleased it's on a Saturday this time. It never really seems fair that people who have jobs that keep them away from a computer at 10am on a weekday have no chance of a ticket. I'd still prefer a staggered release, though I guess that has drawbacks too.

If it was down to me I’d give first dibs to those who purchased tickets for 2023. And a maximum of 6 tickets per booking. And I wouldn’t let Ticketline anywhere near it.

Still hoping (against hope) that it will be a different company from ticketline. Whatever ticket seller they use (ie ticketline) just make sure you know your details to log in to your account so you are not faffing around on the day trying to remember/reset passwords and increasing the chance of being thrown out of the queue. |

Didn’t someone say a while back they get tickets easily by simply phoning the Ticketline number? Perhaps fewer people use that option these days, if it still exists!

Pretty sure someone said that on the ‘official’ forum but cannot remember who it was.

Yep i think you'll be right regarding Ticketline , i was going to attempt it myself as i'm away in the depths of North Yorkshire with no Wi-fi . Was it not Chrissied ?? suggestion maybe he has some inside knowledge ? |

GM just released a 'what you need to know' info sheet ahead of saturday's ticket release www.greenman.net/news/gm24-ticket-release/?fbclid=IwAR3wR0O9f3AQ4Sjd_a4TvEwBqid4xUs77UpcsD8W5fVOCYILCEq1YNNS85ckey phrase that i very much hope but doubt will pan out: "We listened to feedback from last year and Ticketline have made changes that will improve the ticket buying process" but INSANELY, just as last year: "There is a maximum of twenty tickets per order" why the fuck is that the case? who needs 20 tickets - other than a tout? though it then does go on to say: "with a maximum of one live-in vehicle per order and a maximum of eight tickets types per order (i.e eight adult tickets)." what does that actually mean? that you can only buy 8 of any particular TYPE of ticket? (in which case, they mean e.g., not i.e.) that's some ambiguous - and frankly impenetrable - wording there... oh, and adult weekend tickets are £275 this year that includes a £15 'booking fee' - but as there's no other way to buy a ticket, the price is essentially £275 - who cares how they split it up |

Good luck to everyone on the forum getting tickets Saturday morning.
Just hope that the process has improved, Ticketline have listened and the site is more reliable and fairer.

I think the limit thing is that you can buy 8 adult tickets, 8 teens and 4 little folk tickets (8+8+4=20), but can't just buy 20 adult tickets in one go. No idea why.
