Eavis has doe the right thing. 30,000 spare tickets makes a shortfall of about £4.5 milion quid, which would make the festival less tennable for the future: they'd be less able run the site and less able to secure good bands. As for the popularity of the festival, my first glasto was 1998 and they were selling tickets until early June (at the time, the slow sales was put down to the football world cup that was on at the time). Since then Glasto has become a lot more popular: with good reason, it's bigger, better run and safer; with only a few small concessions to commercial pressures. A small decline in the rate of ticket sales is pretty trivial, in my opinion. Long live Glaso!
