Hi Everyone,
I have been considering going to this festival for a long time (a.k.a a couple of weeks) and I have finally decided to bite the bug and go, it seems to be absolutely ideal for me, in a great location, great food, atmosphere and good quality bands that are playing.

The only thing that I was wandering is when do the tickets genrally go on sale? To give me an idea on when I should start saving and also is it an "arena" festival?

Thanks very much in advance and any help would be much appreciated.

Never been but am considering it but can tell you that no, it's not an area festival.

We were at the first two Beautiful Days and were able to watch the main stage from the comfort of our tent doorway when we couldn't be bothered to walk to the front.  A couple of people have told us this year that you can do the same from the top of the hill in the newer expanded festival but that there is quite a bit of trecking involved getting to and from the campsite.  I assume that the campervan site is close to the car park, like it was on the first couple of occasions?

We're haven't been to the past few Beautiful Days because it felt like such a long way to travel for a festival, but we could be tempted next year, now that we finally have a campervan, especially with it being the 10th anniversary and everything ....

Hi, I'm a 'Glasto person' and I seriously want to give this a go next year. Couple of questions: is it my imagination or do they seem to have toned down the dance music this time, or is there still a fair bit? Also, is there anything open late at this fest? Or does it all shutdown at around midnight? Oh, and how much are tix? I was guessing about £130. Any help gratefully received!
