My boyfriend cheated and we're meant to be going...should I still go alone?

[Sachet88]

I've never done a festival before and my boyfriend has decided to cheat on me, so now I'm all alone with a ticket to Glasto. Should I still go? I'd like to meet new people but I'm quite shy!

[The Placid Casual]

Sorry to hear that, but you should definitely go! I went alone in my first year and it was an incredible experience.

[ericlered]

Of course.

[moheetoes]

Do it, you never know who you might meet once you're there, you'll have a blast and there are other solo glasto goers in here also, someone will point you to their camp thread (I'm not sure how to do this).

Efests meet is a good place to start to meet people on Wed.....

[Sachet88]

That's great, thanks! I'm just a bit worried about the safety aspect of being a female going alone but keen to go.

[chazwwe]

A long distance friend of mine is in a similiar situation so she's camping with us. Just ask about, you'll meet people, and on here. There's solo goers who camp in the same areas and thenn just talk with the people that are around you. You'll be fine

[gmb1992]

I can't imagine the predicament you must be in.

I think you should go, meet up with some solo goers here and have an awesome time completely out of your comfort zone!!

It might be just what you need

Do it, find some random bloke who looks like him and take him along instead, then spend the whole week having angry revenge sex with his twin.

[Swine_Glasto2014]

Yep definitely go

[whisty]

Depending on how you're travelling, go, if you're not enjoying it, go home.

You've kind of lost your ticket money anyway. Oh and join the single campers thread.

Easy decision

[moheetoes]

You should be fairly safe, there's plenty of people around day or night, introduce yourself to your neighbours, everyone looks out for those nearby to them to discuss who they saw yesterday, who they're seeing today etc...

Don't take anything you aren't prepared to lose, use the lockups, have a ball.

See you on the Wed in Ridge & Furrow.

[carrie2]

Definitely! It will be the ultimate distraction

[Homer]

Sorry to hear this, your ex-boyfriend is a pr1ck. Hope you're okay!

[tjfish]

Yes & maybe find your ACTUAL love.

[Becks12]

You must go!

[bennyhana22]

100% go.

I've been to quite a few festivals on my own, always met new people, and always had a great time.

This is my first GF and I'm...going on my own! have already made great friends purely on here, many of whom I will meet and spend time with over the five days.

GO!

Ben

Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go!

And have a bloody good time!

[moheetoes]

Keep us up to date on your decision though, obviously it should be 'go go go', but understand where your head may be on this one. I hope you get through it OK.

[Sachet88]

Thank you, can anyone put me in the direction of the single campers thread? I'm new to this forum!

[Sachet88]

Well no ones told me not to go so I'm thinking why the hell not! Like I say I've never been and it was his idea, so I should go do it anyway and shouldn't let him ruin it for me. I've been building up to going for years! Shame it's ended up like this though

[Spindles]

Also a solo traveller this year, my second time and I've done a couple of other smaller festivals solo. Always had a cracking time.

You never have to be on your own at Glastonbury, you can chose to when you want to or you can just embrace the friendship that people seem naturally to offer

[thurlow84]

Camp solo could be an option if you do go it alone.

Look for the thread a page or 2 back if your interested

Send a PM to Iamthegr81 on this forum, there was talk of a cut off due to numbers expected, but I'm sure exceptions can be made for people in need. There are people of all ages, nationalities, shapes and sizes, looking forward to meeting them.

[sime]

Yes, definitely go! He's stupid for being a cheat. Forget about him and go have a great time at Glastonbury. You will not regret it. Promise

[**claire**]

Definitely go! Your ex sounds like a bit of a knob & therefore I am sure you'll have a far better time without him than with! I am 100% sure you'll be made to feel welcome by the solo campers group on here - & make sure you stick around over the next few weeks so you can get to 'know' a few more people that you can tie up with at the meet.

There's some great advice on here about using the lock ups to keep your stuff safe - how were you planning on getting there? We can all help with any advice you need - we love telling first-timers what's what!
