No, it's all a dreadful racket. But I believe drugs help.

Remember when they also used to have blues and folk on Glade? Happy days.

Why do we think that Faithless is now Friday is it just the title is.
Could it not be Thursday then the other 2 are Fri, Sat or Sun and one act is missing
The Glade Area | Glastonbury Festival (glastonburyfestivals.co.uk)
"This year will kick off with the triumphant return of Faithless to the Glade. Faithless recently teased their exciting return to Glastonbury with a Thursday night headline slot at The Glade Stage. With unprecedented hype for their 2024 comeback the band will now be marking their return on an even bigger slot on Friday night, kicking off the weekend with an unforgettable performance."

It's fascinating. Provides such a different perspective. I'm thinking it's the Thursday last year, looks pretty full but no music going on in any of the larger stages, but there's something on at the Stonebridge bar, which does have music on the Thursday, and the open stage in T&C by Gate C.
I think the Glasto Chat meet up is going on under the big tree in the Pyramid field, which would make it Thursday. Also, the coach park is pretty empty so I think that would rule out Wednesday.

A lottery/ballot is a terrible idea. At least with the current system there is some modicum of effort required to try and get a ticket. I'd rather lose out to someone who is up, organised and refreshing like mad rather than someone who filled in a form on a whim and doesn't really care if they get a ticket or not.

Do you have any data on announcements immediately after resale? Like whether there are frequent announcements on Mondays after resale or whether the resale typically marks the start of area announcements kicking into gear etc?
2009: 15 days, confirmation of acts so far
2010: 3 days, line-up
2011: 3 days, Rastamouse
2013: 3 days, 6 Acoustic Stage acts
2014: 11 days, line-up
2015: 5 days, T&C
2016: 10 days, Silver Hayes
2017: 2 days, Silver Hayes
2019: 2 days, T&C
2022: 15 days, Avalon
2023: 5 days, Croissant Neuf

Yeah, now they have the official overall soldout there is no need to out extra drops out suddenly early. I think that's the only reason we got 3 drops given as well to extra protect themselves especially as the lineup was late as we essentially already got the WHs lineup on the first poster so Avalon and one other was all I expected.
As hard as it still was for people, I think 18 minutes resale showed a few more went back into the pot than it sounded like.
As far as I can make out (technical hitches aside), the sale times are basically down to how quick SEE and the festival want it to be.
Last year's resale was quicker because you didn't have to enter payment details.
Also, the line-up wasn't late, it was the earliest it has ever been.

There are so many of these. Just off the top of my head we've had loads. Suarez undoubtedly top of the list but even some "lesser" offenders like Bellamy and Robertson.
Not sure I agree. I'm still raging about Sterling being given offside when he played for us v City 😄
As above tbf.
OK, so maybe forgotten about was a stretch 😁
But it was a close one, one that would be difficult to say for sure with the naked eye, and like may of them, they may still get brought up but it doesn't come close to the rage about a goal that the officials actually said was good but then didn't give anyway.
-
Worth noting that without VAR, the f**k up in the Spurs v Liverpool game wouldn't have happened.
The linesman would have gone with offside, Liverpool fans would have bitched and moaned about it but ultimately, without all the line drawing bollocks, it would have just been "one of them" and would probably now be forgotten about.

Is this tweet real lol? I really feel for people who have tried year in, year out with no joy. At least if you’ve been before and had a bite of the cherry, it takes the sting out of having an unsuccessful year. Whichever method of ticket allocation and sales you pick there’s downsides and I think you have to make the most of what exists. If you rope in a lot of support, brief people on how to approach the sales and are left with no joy, then that’s rubbish but also it’s just the way it is. What kind of improvements do these people think are feasible (other than always being able to get a ticket lol) because I’m not too sure you can overhaul the system without introducing a different method that will bring about its own, new and potentially unfair idiosyncrasies that we’d all slowly have to understand?
It's a play on the tweet below, something most people who don't follow football wouldn't be aware of.
NFFC are feeling a little cheated, and have reacted like a 13 year old fan account. Or someone responding to the Glastonbury sold out tweet, whichever takes your fancy.
But anyway, no. It's not real.

Felt the opposite for us. 5 groups in the main sale but none of us managed to grab tickets for the 2 remaining people in the resale.
-
Without digging into it too much, if we get more than 1 between now and the end of the month, we'll be a little ahead of schedule.
We had the three early ones last time, then they started coming thick and fast from the 29th onwards.

Can't see her on any posters so guessing this is a self-confirm, unless I've missed it.
She's won a competition to appear on Bread & Roses.

Not good, is it? As is often the case, this may have nothing to do with those actually at the top of the festival chain, but whatever has happened, it doesn't look good.

Plus this is only the 3rd time there has been a mid resale announcement.

Working through the acts so far, I happened across D-Block Europe, utilising an auto tune to levels that actually made me feel queasy to listen to it. I thought that had to be the low point, even on a bill contraining Anne-Marie and comedy dance troupe Confidence Man, but then I remembered Faithless were all set to draw a massive crowd to a sh*t stage by somehow pumping out massive turds stored on a USB.

One of the discorders won with a bag of chillies
Yep, just seen that. Marvellous stuff. 6 tickets to one person is quite the prize, no doubt very popular with his mates now.

I'd argue Tabasco is not hot and demand a rerun

Glastonbury-on-Sea is a great way to while away an hour, I honestly don't know why people have such a downer on it. It's something very different from a lot of tge festival an well worth a visit. There's also a lovely little stage just over the track from it, a good place to spend some of Thursday, away from the madness.
