  1. Tickets resale

    in Chat

    Posted

    Haha - I was in just the same boat as everyone else during The Mad Scramble. It was my first time in 6 attempts that I have failed to grab a ticket on T-Day ; but naturally I reckon the lovely weather and great vibes of last year must have caused people to go home and tell all their mates how *brilliant* Glastonbury is at its best - I was ready for a tough T-Day but confident that everything would be alright.

    It'll all come good in the re-sale ; see you at Brother's Bar!

  2. Tickets resale

    I have written a prog that monitors the page every 2 seconds and checks for changes - it automatically sends me an SMS if it spots a change ;-)

    So I should get to know within a few seconds if that page changes...yes, I make my living a a programmer and I am abusing it to try to get to Glastonbury!

  7. Anyone going on their todd to Glasto 2011?

    in Chat

    Posted · Edited by Michael@Hebden

    My girlfriend waasn't really up for Glasto this year & I was supposed to be going with "friends", but they met up with some people they knew who had backstage access & I didn't even see them till the England game on the Sunday. To be honest; I initially felt isolated, deflated & more than a little angry, but I got on the phone & met up with some people I only knew through internet message boards. We had an absolute blast.

    On the Saturday night, my internet mate felt a little crook & had to turn in, but I was still in the mood to party, so I helped him back to his tent, made sure he was ok & headed off to Shangri La on my own. I had a brilliant night; I met some lovely people & eventually staggered back to my tent at 6-00 am with a cup of tea, a bacon sandwich & a huge smile on my face.

    Glastonbury certainly has a way of telling you who your real friends are.

    Unfortunately, despite spending almost 5 hours trying, we didn't manage to bag any tickets last Sunday, but we live in hope for the re-sale.

    I guess the moral of this story is that Glastonbury is a truly magical place & it doesn't matter if you're alone, because there's 179,999 potential friends all around you. Crikey, I hope we get tickets in the resale :unsure:

  12. Big bands in little places

    Hmmm let me see:

    Roxy Music - Clarence's Club, Halifax. 1972

    Led Zeppelin - St George's Hall, Bradford 1974

    David Bowie - St George's Hall, Bradford 1973. Was the Ziggy Stardust tour, just before he made the big time. The ticket stub is still round at my folks house somewhere, it says "David Bowie - Admit 1 - 60p"

    Top that little lot!:P:lol:

  14. My Brothers Pack has arrived!

    Eh? :unsure:

    Am I missing out on something here?

    Are these packs sent out automatically to all over 18 festival goers?

    Did you have to apply for them?

    Am I the hapless victim of another efestie wind up?

    :lol:

  15. anyone else still ticket-less and has not been ccontacted by DX?

    in Chat

    Posted

    Yeah. I spoke to my mate today. He "paid" for his ticket last October & was wondering why he hadn't heard anything.

    He had a clear out of his inbox & discovered that there was an email from See (sent in October) saying there was a "problem" with his payment. Muppet!:angry:

    Is there anybody from Leeds / Manchester areas that needs a lift? See my thread in Lift Share & drop me a PM.

  18. First Aid Kit

    I apologise if this band have been discussed before on another thread, but I can't find ANY reference to them here or on the official Glasto website.

    They're actually the phenomenally talented Sweedish sisters Klara & Johanna Soderberg. I notice from their My Space page that they're actually playing "The Greenpeace Stage" at Glastonbury.

    Have a listen to them, I like them very much.

    Confirmation that they ARE actually playing would be very welcome; As would the location of "The Greenpeace Stage" :P

    just been speaking to a stevie wonder fan who was telling me about the most recent gigs he has seen. He was saying that he rushes through the "hits" (and even did a hits medley - I loathe medleys) and plays lengthy extended jams on some tracks.

    I'll level with you: I'm worried it might not live up to expectations

    What's wrong with your other half?

    If you're going to vent your midlife crisis, what better place to do it than Glastonbury? I know, I did.

    Go for it. You'll have a great time.

    Quote from dr_billy on "most disappointing performance at glasto" thread

    Courting is fine with me!

    Did some good stuff Tindersticks, and good "courting" stuff especially.

    Edit: Got me thinking, they did work for me once (oh happy memories), amazed we haven't had a "knicker dropping music" thread yet.

    Well, we have now Doc.

    This one worked once for me back in the day..Well I was only 17 :P

    In fact it still gets trotted out on the odd occasion (much to the amusement of my OH :P)

    Thanks for posting that Red Day. it makes a pleasant change from the usual speculation on "who's playing / who isn't playing"!

    No prizes for guessing my favourite is Neon Park aka Martin Muller RIP :P - See my avatar.
