2008 will see the return of Glastonbury’s award winning registration process and photo tickets. It is refreshing to see that the only event that manage to really beat the touts is one of the biggest festival around the world. It actually shows that it could be done if one really wanted to…

So this year again, fans wanting to attend the festival will have to register first in order to be able to buy tickets before they go on sale at a later date.

The registration process starts at 9am on Friday 1st February 2008 and closes on the 29th. Tickets for the festival will then go on sale on April 6.

You can register by either going to the Glastonbury website or by completing a form which is available from branches of Millets.

Fortunately no point here to warn you to avoid the touts…

After years of ticket touting in the UK, and millions of genuine fans ripped-off by the secondary ticket market, MPs finally seem to take some action against auction sites allowing inflated resale of tickets.

In the report carried out by the Culture, Media and Sport select committee, it’s understood that MPs will suggest that the Office of Fair Trading threaten action if no code is agreed, according to Gigwise.

The report will accuse eBay (yes !!) and similar ’secondary ticket agents’ such as Viagogo and Seatwave of making huge profits by exploiting fans’ readiness to pay over the odds for sold-out events and front row seats, etc…

If you want to read more about the good news, please read the article published in The Guardian on the 23 december 2007.

So good news then. Hopefully it will have a real impact… this time !

But until then…

… don’t forget, avoid the touts, buy your concert tickets at face value !

Rumours are now more than persistent, the “king of pop” Michael Jackson seems to be in talks with the O2 Arena over the possibility of a ten-night residency later this year, according to today’s TIMES newspaper (7 January).

A spokesman told Drownedinsound: “Nothing is confirmed yet unfortunately so I’m not in a position to comment to be honest, but yes, it is something that is being discussed.

“I can’t give out any information as there is nothing concrete to comment on yet. Sorry!”

Understand what you wish… However with £1 million offered per concert according to THE NEWS OF THE WORLD, one might wonder if Michael Jackson would refuse this very attractive comeback. But there again, the tabloid also reports news of a 30-night residency… as Gigwise published today too.

10 mights or 30 nights, nothing has been confirmed yet, so let’s wait ! Of course, news will be published as soon as they come on Face Value Ticket !

And don’t forget, avoid the touts, buy your concert tickets at face value !
