FuzzyDunlop Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Is anyone else looking at the start of October and thinking "it looks boring this year, I need some excitement!?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostypaw Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Rather glad if I'm honest.... feels like stress dodged and holiday time freed up for next year at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slash's hat Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Yes and no. The rush of trying to get tickets...yes ( sadistic...me?). But fallow year has fallen quite well as sons GCSE year so would've meant missing some anyway (depending on exam dates), and also looks like may be having surgery which has a long recovery time so unlikely to have been fit enough anyway.

mashedonmud Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm actually starting to worry about the big one in 2020. I am concerned that if I manage to get the golden tickets for 2019 will I have used all of my luck up on the wrong year. On the plus side already booked three festivals for 2018.

Hugh Jass Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 If it helps we can all sit on here at 09.00 next Sunday mashing F5 and complaining that things don't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I've heard that as a reward for the really hard core fans, there's actually going to be 1000 tickets on sale at 09:00 for the 2019 festival. *taps nose* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ive decided that I'm going for a wander around the farm at festival time with a cider in hand anyway ... great way to celebrate my birthday .. I'm still wondering if it will just be 2 of us the following year and have started the prep for the outfit anyway so the year off gives me a bit of time to come up with an improved fancy dress outfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to do it, even though it bloody miles away and I can't even justify it as a family holiday to Somerset, it being school holiday.

fowls Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 The fallow year is great for me! Got to complete my doctorate thesis for March 2019 so no interruption. One year of hard work, then everything will be alright with the world again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those with GCSE kids should not need to worry about exam dates. Most exams were done and dusted the week before this year and only a few obscure ones actually clashed. (Good luck with the surgery btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not worthy Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm just drafting a list of festival options for our crew for 2018.....something to replace the void of pre ticket day organising not a bad thing though, looking forward to getting to a couple of smaller festivals we've not been to before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieMcK Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 The first Sunday of October is usually a mad 30 min scramble for tickets, followed by a rushed journey into Glasgow to for the Great Scottish Run Half Marathon at 11am. This Sunday is going to be a little bit more sedate and there is a good chance that I'll even manage a proper nights sleep before the race! Every cloud has a silver lining I guess.

I bet there are hundreds of people there. Maybe Emily will come down and give us all tickets for being so hardcore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
