Friend of the festival Basil Brush headlining again, or are they going to mix it up this year do we reckon??

You've completely ignored most of my message like haha. I'm just using clash finder to find new music, more then actually working out who i'm going to see ect.

Would appreciate one of them putting on the SEC/ Glade onto clashfinder. Because I'm really cool I tend to use a colour coded system to try and go through all the acts and rate the ones I want to see/ avoid etc. So I don't need them in the right order, but just on the system haha

I kind of agree. But i'd like to add that people who go to Glastonbury (myself included) want to imagine that acts lift their game for Glastonbury, that a spot on at the festival is as special for them as it is for us. One of the ways they can do that is sing songs they wouldn't normally do for other festivals (including covers). Another way is to bring on guests who obviously wouldn't be seen elsewhere. Another is of course to just play the set of their life. I think it's disappointing when an act just treats it like another gig, as for this country it is the peak of musical culture and I think for most people it is seen as a massive honour. So them bringing on top guests kind of signals they're treating it as such.

Can tell you about a 1.5k ticket if you're interested lad? Not more at face value I don't think, sorry! Although if I hear owt else back I'll drop you a message

Yeah I remember moaning about it on here in 2019 (ish) and basically everyone on this place saying how important it could be, and it's great to see them listen/ echo our thoughts and completely smash it.

I'm no expert, but with my friends who are really into that music, they said last years line up completely smashed it. As you say, be excellent for all of us if it continues to grow in popularity haha! Sorry haven't been keeping up, are they replacing the rabbit hole with something bigger as well - that might draw more people? Arcadia growing too (I guess) is a good thing too, and will be a draw for people as it's new. So all in all, seems they're trying to address the problems!

Nah it's the press access one with the cut through bit and the hospitality bar access thing, but I appreciate what you mean about there being different prices. But the whole original conversation was about me looking for other options to get a ticket, of which the poster replied saying no chance and if you do see one it'll be marked up to 5k. Which, when you're just looking for the no frills ticket, isn't necessarily true.

Feels like such an important line up these days haha. Without a strong SH then the overcrowding elsewhere is/ would be a complete nightmare. If they can continue to smash it then it just really helps everywhere else!

Not trying to be a d*ck or anything bringing this back up, but just to say I put the feelers out over the past few days and we have been offered a hospitality ticket for FV (£900) which we've taken. Mad expensive, but it is what it is. I think in a cynical world it's often hard to remember that people are generally nice, and will help you if they can. Also I was offered another one for 1.2k, so not quite the 5k level - but still a mark up.

Didn't go last year and it was absolutely awful to be honest. Was completely gutted the whole weekend I wasn't there and not seen a single set from the festival as a result. Really didn't expect it as bas as I did.

Appreciate that pal haha. But how many of those thousands are actively still looking after the resale. and yeah it's probably as unlikely as winning the Guardian ticket comp, but if I keep looking it only needs one person who reads this place, to hear of one going and get in touch. No point being negative about it, if it doesn't happen then we haven't lost anything.

We'd pay £900 if I could get my hands on one. Just need to find a contact in the industry haha

Appreciate you might not be able to and that's fair enough, but if you ever could pass on that source id love to at least have a chance!

Cool. I think the mad expensive ones are probably off the table. But if anyone on here is reading this and can help sling a contact for a more reasonably priced ticket through their work or wherever, I'm sure we'd be keen. Will look into wateraid, thanks!
