Someone was lucky enough to get those tickets then...

I didn't get them, a friend of JoeTheGreat got them.  Which meant that we had to wait in the standby queue, cos the ticket had his name on it and they were being pernickity about ID.  Anyway, while we were in the queue, two random geezers with a pair of tickets each got us in

You were at Glastonbury?  Surprised I didn't bump into you.

I got asked three times on my way in. Show ID to one guy, walk three paces, show it to someone else. Did have a good laugh with the security guy who asked me for my PIN as well; apparently two people had already given him theirs...

Was at I'll be Your Mirror last night. Fine performance from Portishead (first time I've seen them) and some good sets from Grinderman, Godspeed, and (to a lesser extent) Beach House and Caribou. I've seen them all play better sets, but it was a pretty good day overall (though it was a non-stop 15 hours including travel as we arrived at 12.30 for GY!BE and left around 12 hours later after Caribou).
