Looks like the annual “lets hype Glastonbury until Wayahead Box Office’s servers explode” ritual is well underway, what with the White Strips confirmed as Friday night headliners, along with non so subtle hints about Coldplay for the Saturday night.
Despite what Mr Eavis might say, Wayahead (the chaps who will actually sell you the ticket once you get through the first hurdle from www.aloud.com) are still running Win2k, so it all should make for a fun Sunday…
Update (03-April-2005, 11:30am): I stand corrected. Things seemed to be running remarkably smoothly today, and tickets appear to be almost all sold out just 2 1/2 hours after going on sale… Still no sign of my confirmation emails though (“Your reference number will be emailed to you along with confirmation of your order. Please allow at least 4 hours for this to be delivered.”) Hmm. Wonder why there’s such a delay, you don’t think someone is checking all 112,000 transactions manually?
