So, being up by 9.00am on one Sunday of the year is such a chore?

[dentalplan]

This guy is subtweeting dentalplan all over the place.

[rubenz]

The column is called "just saying " obviously the work of a high level bellend

[Peroni]

Not a chore for me... dedicated.

I spoke to someone at work who was suprised I got tickets and I explained my technique... ie repeated F5 bashing.

She told me that she just logged on and let the auto refresh do it thinking she was in a queue for about 5 mins... but then got bored so gave up!

[CTO]

What a weapons grade bell end.

I would quote some of the more stupid and lazy presumptions and assumptions made but don't want to grace that page with another hit.

W@nker.

Think that covers it

[stuartbert two hats]

I did think the atmosphere in 2008/was pretty great when there were fewer keenos like me there.

Good that people with so little dedication get weeded out. The fact that all the post-sale discussion can't come up with a sure fire recipe for success suggests the system's as fair as it can be. My 8 year old PC with IE9 was genuinely able to compete with super wizzo (tech term) devices. I guess we're all dedicated. I'm lazy and disorganised (not so much hungover these days), but that's overcome by my dedication to the cause of having the best time on the farm.

[Amy Lawn]

Calm down guys, it all seems pretty tongue-in-cheek to me. If it's not then... Londoners, I just don't get them.

[verrymerry]

Well I was definitely hungover...

that's cos i made my return that year.  perked everyone up a bit and brought back some of that old vibe.

Sure, that'll be it.

[phillyfaddle]

"alpha-keeno festival smartarses from hell". Hmmm. "alpha-keeno" definitely. "smartarse" definitely NOT, no idea what the feck I'm doing. I was hungover too after sinking a vat of red wine on Saturday night - I call it 'keeping the faith' actually.  And as for "inaccessible to anyone but the most affluent and aggressive".....well, I'm certainly not rich.....but that Oliver Keens can can fuck right off.

Some of us were there, hiding in plain sight ;-)

There's something sad about the death of sponteneity, but he rather misses the point that it's the system that stops it being elitist, the alternative would be to double the price... Easy to get through then.... (For Tarquins)

As it is for children of certain rock stars. My cousin (who doesn't live in this country) always gets a ticket cos he hangs out with them. And stays in a tipi. And gets an access all area wristband. Git.

[matt2007]

A lazy, boring article that should not waste the time of those here........

[Untz]

Time Out is a free shit rag that, apart from listings, should not be given the time of day.

Just like the NME in fact.

 

When leaving the tube station in the morning I get assaulted by about four of these type of "publications".

[Andy0808 v5]

Agreed.

Although my ticket for 2013 was purchased by me while I was still absolutely battered, having got home at 5am and being too scared to sleep in case I slept in.

I went to sleep shortly after 10 and when I woke up hours later shit myself thinking that the ticket process earlier in the day was a dream and I'd missed it

[gerardfenton18]

i was slightly more than hungover sunday morning, i was on relatively strong acid.

 

organising 5 computers, bank details and codes on each, then the uncontrollable beat of my heart while entering the details deserves a medal in my opinion, not an insult

[Pinhead]

If you want to go you put the effort in, simple as. Yes its competitive but then so is anything popular with a limited number of places. At least those who get a ticket with perseverance are really going because they really want to be there and are going to enhance the atmosphere by being there rather than just going so they can tell all their mates and be seen there.

[big__phil]

I should have stopped reading after he mocked Americans for sounding different.

 

What a twat. I hope to god he doesn't get a press pass.

[Mardy]

He's clearly a twat, and it's a shit article, but there's no doubt the process does remove/alienate/ make it almost impossible for certain sections of society. It's a sunday, right, so you've got to have a computer at home, and Internet. You can't, for example, use public access computers in the Library.

 

If I was on the dole or whatever, I'm not sure I'd have those things. But thenI guess if I was on the dole, I'd not have the money for a ticket. There is definitely a discussion to be had about the demographic that goes to the festival now though, i think.

[Mardy]

I'm planning on er, I dunno semi-retiring, getting rid of most of my worldly goods and bumming around in the middle of nowhere on a canal boat/caravan/log cabin or whatever. I guess that means no more Glastonbury for me when that happens.

Sounds perfect - except I want to escape to a hut on a beach somewhere ... we don;t need 'stuff'. The Glasto's , the holidays etc etc don;t need to happen, I'd love to escape , sell all the ridiculous belongings and just have enough to substain myself
