No Ticket, No Festival
15 Jun 2003
All tickets for this year’s event sold out in a record 18 hours, leaving some regular festival goers disappointed.
Glastonbury Festival organisers today appealed to fans to stay away from the festival site during this year’s festival – to safeguard the future of one of world’s most famous outdoor events.
The message for 2003 is still very firmly ‘No Ticket, No Show’. The organisers are once again asking people who care about the Festival not to turn up without a ticket.
Fans who heeded this message last year, say the organisers, have had a direct effect on the Festival’s success – ensuring a go-ahead from council officials and one of the strongest line-ups ever.
The official running order, revealed last week, has been popularly acclaimed as one of the best in the Festival’s 33-year history. And Glastonbury Festival, along with media partners BBC Entertainment, Radio 1, PlayLouder.com, The Guardian and Q Magazine, have lined up a spectacular ‘alternative’ show for Festival fans to enjoy – on TV, live radio, and through continuous webcasting.
"The message is simple, if you are not one of the 112,000 people who did get a ticket, settle back and enjoy it at home.
"We have been able to come back really strong this year, simply because people respected what the Festival stands for. Because non-ticket holders stayed away in 2002, we have a line-up that has exceeded everyone’s expectations."
