Try https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/event/glastonbury-2024-deposits/worthy-farm/3500011 It's just changed from event not found to "Coach tickets will be on sale" Scratch that. Looks like most ways to hit the site have changed to that. Seems a good bet. Good luck everyone, may the F5 force be with you.

Late offer. I have until April 2nd to submit my application. Thanks for all your offline advice.

I’m in a similar position to @MrZigster. I’ve had the offer for Avalon/Calm. I’ve no problem with the shifts or being on my feet, but Bristol, and having to walk to the bus on Monday is killer. I’ve done coach before, but stayed at Sticklinch so no tent to carry. I can make that up by carrying less booze, but it’s still a lot of stuff. Against that is the risk of not going at all, which is a big one. Plus my friend and I were considering coach to increase our chances. So I obvs hadn’t ruled out Bristol or Walking with my kit. Ah well, a few more days to decide.

I got as far as selecting. Ticked the three boxes... gone 😞 Kept clicking the proceed button just in case. At one moment had it sit for almost a minute reserving, but it fell back. I'm keeping the window open and clicking proceed for about the next four months or so.

What everyone else has said goes for me. I saw it coming and was excited. Eagles are on my bucket list, being of a certain age, and having Steely Dan on the bill would make it amazing. I know they've both lost members, but we take what we can get. Looked on setlist and both bands setlists were amazing, not a song I didn't know and at least like, if not love. But F*ck me! Nosebleed seats at 200quid and I'm out. I had access through the co-op presale yesterday and spent most of the time up until this morning agonizing about it. I really really wanted to go, and am fairly sure that this will be my last chance. Ultimately though the experience on offer for 200quid is to be in the room with a distant view. 300quid to be close enough for my taste and it's just too much. Goes to show what an absolute bargain Glastonbury still is.

I used Revolut for campervan last year but not for the main sale as I wasn't the one who got through. Still I'd expect if it works for campervan it would work for a ticket. Edited for clarity.

Ah, you're right of course. I was well up on this stuff a few years back, but obviously have fallen behind.

GDPR requires that when you remove the data it should also not be in your backups. They very possibly don't even know how many registrations they mistakenly deleted, let alone who's. https://verasafe.com/blog/do-i-need-to-erase-personal-data-from-backup-systems-under-the-gdpr/#:~:text=For these reasons%2C it is,short%2C yes%2C it is.

They were reasonable about it. My mate was on crutches but no accessibility band, and they waved him down there.

This was number 10 for me and I turned 60 in April. A late starter but the only ones I missed were 2014 where birth of my second child was imminent and 2019, when though I had a ticket I was out of the country. I seriously thought this might be the last. I had a very quiet Wednesday, and thought the crowds were too big where anything was on on Thursday. By Friday though normal service had been resumed and by Sunday I was already thinking about tickets for next year. No rest for the wicked 🙂 I don't know if it's just me, but it seems I don't really get into the groove until Sunday. Then of course it's a frantic run-around to do all the stuff I want to mixed in with some headliners. I think for next year I will have to take additional steps to make sure I'm fitter going in.

I'm primarily on Three and surprisingly it was really good for me this year. I had a EE sim which I used last year, and a sim from Talkmobile which use Vodaphone. Didn't feel the need to switch SIMS. This is compared to last year where Three was OK on Wednesday and terrible after that so I switched SIMs to EE. The only glitch I got was on Monday morning in campervans. It went from being mostly fine to totally unusable. So pronounced that I can only guess something got turned off on Monday. No biggie as I switched to Vodaphone, but odd. I do wonder how much improvement is due to 5g. The big win is supposedly improved beam-forming so you can service more devices more quickly with the same RF bandwidth. Most of the towers I saw appeared to be 5g. To be clear, I'm not someone who needs to post everything I do online, but I do have two young daughters who want to talk to me several times a day. Worked great for that.

Mines just turned up. Confirmation of dispatch on Tues. Royal Mail went live late Wed/Thur morn. Ticket arrived today. I was a bit surprised I didn't get a campervan window sticker, but having browsed this thread I see I get one when I arrive. It's been 10 years since I did campervan so I guess things have changed. 10 days before I get the campervan back from the garage, hopefully that doesn't get delayed. Drive down the Monday before and camp. It's all happening 🙂

Well, as a fellow HFB I use one of these Colman airbeds. Takes up less space than a double, but still big enough. Get a small pump to blow it up. I presume you have a sleeping bag sorted. I like to take a space blanket to put underneath me if it's cold at night like last year. Lots of people like camping beds, but I've not found one wide enough that also collapses down small enough. Pads are great for shorter trips, but I find they just don't work well for me. Good luck. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coleman-Adult-Durarest-Single-Blue/dp/B0118677CI/ref=sr_1_17?crid=25DK033ZYCANK&keywords=Coleman+Airbed+Extra+Durable+Single&qid=1685525851&sprefix=coleman+airbed+extra+durable+single%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-17 https://www.amazon.co.uk/FLEXTAILGEAR-Portable-Rechargeable-Lightest-Inflatables/dp/B087TFYNHG/ref=sr_1_17?crid=3BRUTO48H6ISS&keywords=flextailgear%2Bportable%2Bair%2Bpump&qid=1685526035&sprefix=flextailgear%2Bportable%2Bair%2Bpump%2Caps%2C60&sr=8-17&th=1

You walked to Worthy View from Gate A. Respect!, but you did know there was a shuttle bus? The walk isn't that bad, just not well sign posted so have a plan. Mostly flat and metal track most of the way in case it's muddy, which of course it won't be. Have water with you in case it's a hot one. I managed it with an 85litre backpack and my sleeping bag. Left a bag of beer in the lockup. I'm 60 and very out of shape, so younger and fitter will have no problem.

There was a transparent bit at the top, but it didn't let in so much light that it was a problem. We were traveling by coach last year, so had to carry everything from Gate A. If you're doing that first tip is to drop non-essentials at the lock-up by Gate A and make more than one trip. * Small light clipped to the center of the roof is super handy. * A small tarp or mat for outside the door is handy so you don't have to take your boots off inside. * If it's sunny they still get hot. If you are planning a late start open your door when you first wake up to keep the air moving. * A flag, LED lights or similar to identify your Yurt. Even if you think you know which one is yours they look surprisingly similar at 3am and you don't want to stumble into the wrong one. * Toilets look really busy first thing, but the queues move fast. * Showers got very busy in the morning. Go have a wander and come back about noon and they will be quiet. Or just go back to sleep if it's been a late one. * Bring light breakfast food and coffee/tea. The stalls in SL were busy and a bit expensive. Better if you can fortify yourself then get food/drink in the festival. * Same as the rest of the festival. Talk to your neighbours. Yurts don't lock so having someone who can keep an eye is handy, and visa versa of course. I liked staying there, and liked the Yurt. It was very comfortable. I didn't like the walk up from Gate A, but that may not affect you if you're driving. For me it was the wrong end of the festival and I found the walks in and out a bit long, but if you're a Park, Arcadia person it's perfect. Have a great time. You'll love it.
