Is there anyone else on here that was lucky enough to get a ticket this year?? can't wait, the headliners arn't good this year but then again you don't just go for the music at glasto do you! :D :D

They've re-opened the registration process to sell the 37,000 tickets that went un-sold. The first year in ages it didn't sell out in 0.0000004 seconds.

I have never been and would love to go but it would cost an absolute fortune!

I am not a fan, prefer the Big Chill, Solfest, Shambala and the Mini Chill when it's on. The Big Chill is plenty big enough for a festival and the weather is usually great and it's in a wonderful location. All the others are much smaller, Glasto is just a massive nightmare!

it depends though, what you do when your there simon- apart from the ticket it doesn;t HAVE to cost you that much, if you take your own alcohol and your camping stove you can do it on suprisingly less money than you'd think?

neeeek- why is it a nightmate? ok- its not the best if it rains but apart from that if your sensible its great.

I just prefer smaller events. That and the fact that you and 10 mates might request tickets but that does not mean you will get them. Spending time with mates is half the fun so I would rather go to events where you can all go together.

True,although this year its definately not a problem, every single person i know who wanted one has got one :D :D

You are probably right. I just couldn't justify the cost of it this year. Have a brilliant time!

It's true that you don't just go to glasto for the line-up, but maybe they've taken that ethos a bit too far this year? Jay Z? Will young? Ok they're the worst of the bunch but the rest aint much better...let's just hope the sun shines for you guys!

i agree about jay-z but leave will young alone - lol- i quite like him! :D

I'd love to go but camping and sludge really isn't my thing ;)

Think that's why a lot of people are choosing festivals abroad this year, and why glasto ticket sales are down!

Nothing wrong with Will is there? If I didn't have a boyfriend and he wasn't gay I'd ask him to marry me:hihi::love: I think he's fantastic!

Panic At The Disco headlining the second stage by the way.

We are going to glade this year, like glastonbury but just a lot smaller.

I would have quite fancied Bestival but I dont "do" camping. Heh .. Have a brilliant time all of you that are attending one of the many festivals this summer.

Not got a ticket for Glastonbury?
Why not recreate the experience at home by not washing, setting light to a fistful of twenty pound notes, swallowing every pill in the medicine cabinet and spending three days in your garden lying face down in litter and mud, while listening to whiny indie bands on your Ipod.....

Sounds like every weekend for me pretty much.

The line up on the two main stages used to pretty incidental to who went to Glastonbury - there were countless stages and fields with stuff going on - back in the days when it a free for all and about 300,000 went (with only a fraction paying). Since 2002 when the big fence went up (which to be fair - they had to do - otherwise it'd have stopped running) - the festival crowd has become a lot more mainstream - and there is a lot more BBC/media/record co ties in - so the line ups/weather has become increasingly more important to the crowd who go. Which porbbaly explains the drop in sales thiss year

I went most years from the late 80 to the early 00s - and hardly saw any bands on the main stage - to much more interesting stuff going on!

I'll mainly be going to festivals beginning with sh this year..

sharrow, shamania, shambala and shglade

:)

i went to glasters every year it was on through the 90s till 2000
not been since 2000 :(

best place on earth....loved it, more to do than just see the "headliners" too
i used to wonder round the traveller fields and find small hippy tents with small / large hippy, traveller , reggae bands on

awesome
