Splendour ticket resale closes Friday

Have Splendour tickets but can’t make it?

If you managed to purchase yourself some hot Splendour in the Grass tickets but are now unable to go, then you only have until this Friday 17 July to relist your tickets on the Qjump site.

The resale facility closes at 5pm sharp, so allow yourself enough time before then for them to be uploaded and resold… or you’ll be down the entire ticket price!

Advice from the Splendour team

Splendour organisers advise that any festival goers trying to enter with tickets stating incorrect name and date of birth etc, will be refused entry.

Let’s recap:

• You cannot enter without correct details on the ticket
• You cannot transfer your ticket to another person
• You cannot sell your ticket on eBay – or buy one there, for that matter

Sounds harsh maybe – but it is all in a bid to quash the unlawful, dodgy and deceitful rip-off scalpers.

To all those going next weekend, have a Splendourifous time at the festival.

Where to find tickets to Splendour in the Grass 2009

There are thousands of disappointed Splendour in the Grass fans without tickets.  It may come as no surprise, but they once again sold out in record time (1 hr 15 mins).  The ticketing fiasco causes quite a bit of high blood pressure, anxiety and stress, perhaps even loss of friendships for those missing out.. who knows?!

You may even be one of them, searching for a Splendour tickets solution…?

Well, as is customary each year, I try to help you find as many other solutions for Splendour in the Grass tickets. Whether that be competitions for Splendour in the Grass tickets, ticket give-aways, or information and tickets to Splendour side shows, etc.

The Side-Shows – the practicality of them…

Now, if you missed out on Splendour tickets, aside from licking your wounds and feeling mopey, think about how damn expensive a weekend at Splendour has become.  If you’re single, it’s costs a minimum of over $370 just to step in the gates for the weekend and camp onsite. Add another couple of hundred if you’re needing other accommodation.

Let’s add travel to that (could be $20 in petrol, about $200 in car hire or $500 in flights, depending on your location).

Not to be forgotten is the mortgage-repayment size of cash needed to feed and entertain you for the weekend (at last count spirits were like $8-10 each)… let’s guestimate an absolute bare minimum of $150 each day (but we know it’s gunna be more right??)  so add another $300 to the bill.

So maybe over a $1,000 already right…. (or $2,000 for a couple).  WTF Splendour?

How many side shows do you reckon your could catch for that price? That’s right, you could probably catch three to four international or local sideshows in your capital city, with food and drinks, for that price.  And no freezing your @ off, no muddy landslides, no annoying overzealous misbehaving teens… or is this the Splendour experience we love that we’re missing out on?

Check out the Splendour Side Shows
and The Live Guide. I’m sure heaps more details will be released closed to the Splendour weekend.

It’s good to note from that story that the requirement on ambulances was down to three this year, from 31 last year!
