Story: Glastonbury site 'slow but not down'
Add me to the list of dissatisfied Aloud customers. It I'm not sure if it is Aloud's fault for not being prepared or if it was just a bad idea to have a single ticket seller when everything sold in less than a day last year. I do fault Aloud for claiming thisngs are only slow. Their website is inaccessable and I only get as far as a BT recording when I try and call thier number. If you beleive ALoud when they ay things ar fine but slow, you will also probalby beleive that the Iraq war was over months ago.
Come clean Aloud and acknowledge what so many people are saying. we've all been trying to get tickets since 8:00, but can't get through to your website or phone number. Why can't anyone admit failure anymore? At least I could respect them for being honest, but I have no patience for "spin". If they are running the show next year, I won't bother trying to attend.
