Nothing to add perfect response. If I have upvotes left I would give one.

[guypjfreak]

did it for you si old son

ah man, what about a bit of disorganised spontaneity? I miss the days of deciding on the Wednesday that you'd go to Glastonbury that weekend. I'm not sure the festival is that improved by having people who's main attribute and reason for being there is that they were organised and planned things well in advance. Hardly the spirit of woody guthrie now is it?

I enjoyed this freedom/feeling for my first ever Glastonbury, was 2008 I heard friends of friends where going and there was still tickets left. I was "brave" enough to contact one of the people going and inquired if they would mind me joining them. More the merrier I was told. So I then traveled up to HMV Oxford Circus, purchased my ticket and set about sourcing a tent.

This was done the week before the festival. I'm lucky enough to have experienced this spontaneity which I feel I will never get to experience again.

that was Jay Z year festi didnt sell out and you obliviously didnt need to be registered to buy them

i still think its great to be impulsive old sons but most festivals are now ticket tiered so you get your ticket early or as with glasto [ only glasto ] you have to be registered unfortunately you cant go backwards its just the way it is nowadays .

.....and Mardy old son YOU would be registered anyway so you could decide to go up one week one month or one year before either way you would be registered .................i would have thought........ARE you registered Mardy ???

[Mardy]

hehehe Guy, I thought I was registered, but you've got me all fretting now mate, I'm off to check!

My feelings entirely. I speak to so many people who look in amazement when I say I've got a ticket, and say how they have always wanted to go....but they haven't actually done anything about it. I think they expect them to pop up in their weekly Ticketmaster email.

[Pinhead]

Is that right - did See resort to selling them through HMV in 2008 when they weren't shifting?

Like that would ever happen these days!!

[guypjfreak]

well it might old son if M.E got another SHITE headliner like that again lol

well Mardy old son you in or out ??

[kalifire]

It was only the notion of Jay-Z playing that stopped the thing selling out earlier in 2008 (if indeed that was the reason at all). It's widely held that he went down a storm and certainly socked it to the kiljoys moaning because he didn't have a guitar!

[Zoo Music Girl]

2008 was my first year and I loved Jay Z. Since then, though, every year has been that bit harder for getting tickets. Argh, not looking forward to T-day but really hoping they do the Thursday coaches again as that's where I've always been successful in the past run.

He was mostly shit from watching the TV after the intro/99 problems as expected but even Russy agrees the intro was fantastic.

Maybe for a while, but he wasn't the first non "guitar" act to headline anyway. Wasn't it mostly the media making a big fuss about it rather than "killjoys"? The only bad thing about Jay Z headlining really is that it paved the way for Beyonce to headline

From what I can tell on here, 08 mostly didn't sell out until the day due to the bad weather in previous years more than anything Jay Z related.

Oh, if I get a ticket, I'm IN IN IN

[UEF]

To think... in lesss than 2 months we'll know if we're "in" or "out"

[The Nal]

You won't know that until next May. Never give up hope. 2 of our party, including me, got tickets in the resale of the resale. And a further two people got tickets in the resale of the resale of the resale. The last two tickets basically!

mad init old son soon comes round lol

[swede]

To think... in lesss than 2 months we'll know if we're "in" or "out"

And in 2 months we'll be nearly a third of the way there to going back !

[kalifire]

That's true, but it's a far easier journey if you know you're in from October than if you have to wait until April/May to get lucky. Every time I think of T Day I get waves of nerves. It's an adrenaline buzz no doubt, but it could go either way.

[paddyclark]

I've been fretting about T day ever since some of the best 5 days of my life ended at the end of June

[JoBalls]

I've got the fear. Big time.

[coma girl]

I'm abroad for t-day from the looks of things so will be relying on friends to sort me out. Last year I didn't get a sniff of the ticket page so ended up getting our tickets via friends anyway.

[kalifire]

We're inside 50 days now. Seven weeks from now, I hope there are a lot of happy people here.

Eeek.

[Mardy]
