We emailed to cancel our TF tent, and we're figuring out alternative plans while in the UK. This morning's flurry gave me momentary hope that sod's law was going to reward y'all for us quitting. It honestly sucks. I've had "Get Glasto tickets" on my whiteboard since this time last year when we decided we were going. We put in every effort in every sale to get our tickets and didn't manage to do it. The bitter person within me is mad that so many people who clearly don't want it/have already been a million times got tickets, and we failed. The good person in me knows it's all a crapshoot, and there's nothing more we could have done. So our search is over. For this year (and next) at least. I do worry life won't allow us another chance, but who knows - what will be will be. Thanks for all the entertainment and keeping me sane enough to keep the hope until now. You are all wonderful people, and the bitter me once again raises her ugly head to get mad that we don't all have tickets, and they do. But they don't have the knob jokes we have, and therefore we are all wealthy in our own way. Much love and ongoing hopes for those remaining in the search. Koala out! x Really sad to hear this. Thanks for all the times you've made me laugh out loud x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koala out! x Ditto I get so frustrated that some get tickets every time , and I spend time squeezing every last ounce of hope into getting them , and if am lucky once every three years, which should mean that I get them 2019 . Hubbie 50 this year , would have been great gift. I am a Foos super fan, Love Royal Blood. Rag n Bone man. He is Dead Kennedy mahoosive fan, chic are fab... the line up is perfect for us. And the rest is a massive bonus. Am gutted but think I need to move on,.... and live in a cave . Thanks for making the lurking a treat, and I honestly wish you all got tickets you are an amzing bunch of nutters xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The look on CobysMummy's face when I proposed to her in the middle of the Pyramid Stage crowd was fairly memorable too... Watching Metallica with CobysDaddysSon in CobysMummy's tummy... Taking CobysDaddysSon to his first festival... Too many! This will be our ninth Glastonbury if we get tickets.
