  1. More like £90 I'm afraid. We paid that last year on the Wednesday evening.
  2. You don't find out your shifts until you get there. Unless you ticked to say you were available for pre-festival shifts.
  3. We were in a car accident on our way over from Ireland on the Tuesday morning in 2019. Missed our ferry over, nightmare of a day but anyway we rang them (in bits worried that we would lose our places) explained what happened and they were so sound. We didn't arrive until 11pm that night so we missed the briefing but they were ok about it. That was a pretty exceptional circumstance though and they didn't doubt our story as we were so upset when we rang them. They are usually pretty strict about it.
  4. A thing of beauty for sure. If only my prize was to trade my Oxfam space for an actual ticket for myself 😞
  5. It sure did. (I've obvs deleted her deets)
  6. My friend in Dublin received hers this morning.
  7. I remember being absolutely defeated come Sunday night of 2016. Got back to the tent after a shambolic attempt at staying upright (I was bananas too so not blaming the mud entirely) on the walk back to Paines from the Pyramid and saying to my mates that at that point it was the most miserable I had ever felt at a festival (and I had survived the wet misery of 2005 and 2007 and scorching 2010 years). Utterly miserable. Give me 2017 weather any day. It was perfection.
  8. Got one for a friend of a friend around 1pm. Must have been that one! Keep trying folks .. they are still popping up ! We got lucky on Tuesday and got 2 places. In 2019 I got one on 31st May so keep the faith.
  9. Hi Masterluke 🙂 I will try to answer your questions as best I can as someone who has gone for years from Ireland but never on a coach package but I have had friends who have. 1. You need a postcode to register for a ticket, regardless of whether you are going for normal tickets or the coach package. It doesn't matter that it's an Irish postcode and makes no difference if going for a coach package. 2. When you go for coach tickets, if you are lucky enough to get through you will try to choose your preferred location and day (coach packages are for Wednesday and Thursday). There is no guarantee that you will get it though. Locations can sell out quickly and Bristol, I would think, is a fairly popular location for people trying for coach packages. If Bristol sells out then most people will just scramble to get whatever location isn't sold out. This could, unfortunately mean, that you could end up getting a package that goes from Edinburgh for example. But that would be your own choice. Desperate people resort to desperate measures when it comes to Glastonbury 🙂 You don't get to choose the time of your coach at booking stage. The times for the coaches are usually emailed to successful ticket holders a couple of weeks before the festival. 3. You HAVE to collect your festival ticket on the coach that you have booked on the day you have booked it for. They are not posted out in advance. This is to ensure that people who have booked a coach actually travel on that coach. There doesn't seem to be any negotiations around this. So that's the story with the coach packages. You can always try for normal tickets and then fly over to Bristol at your own convenience, ie not having to worry about getting there for the exact time the coach leaves. The festival site is about an hour from the airport. There are regular buses from the airport to the festival site on the Wednesday and Thursday and possible early on the Friday. Plus ( and I've often done this in the past after flying over from Ireland) there are always people around the airport looking to share a taxi to the site. Taxis usually cost around £90/£100 although I'm sure this will have gone up considerably by next June like everything else. Anyway, hope that helps. Best of luck on ticket day !
  10. Yep same with our crew. Although they are pretty far up in the queue so shouldn't have tooooo much of a queue at the box office. But that could all go to shit at any minute as we know. Did you get your own ticket in the end yesterday?
  11. Sorry to hi-jack your thread but just in case anyone checks it out and is looking to share a taxi from Bristol Airport straight to site at about 8.45pm on Wednesday evening I'd be delighted 🙂 I'm guessing 8.45 would be too late to avail of your kind offer.
  12. Hi. I have often got a taxi straight from the airport to site and often at the time that you will be going. I always found someone willing to share. Just look around for anyone obviously going to Glastonbury, ask around .. I think you will have no problem finding others looking to do the same thing. The great thing about getting a cab is you can ask the driver to stop off at a supermarket/off license if you need to stock up on booze or anything. This year I am flying in at 8.30 on the Wednesday evening and am also looking to find someone/people to share a cab. It's an awkward time of the day/evening so not sure how successful I will be but I think you, going at that time Thursday morning, will have no problems.
  13. My order tracker has also changed back to box office collection. No email. At this stage in this whole shit-show I am not trusting anything they say or do and am almost expecting the email (if it comes) to say that they have been posted out. Absolute disaster.
  14. Unbelievable !! What time do ye leave on Monday? Is your post usually delivered early? When did you email then out of interest? I emailed them earlier too but haven't heard back.
