Last year was hard and horrible I had jet lag to which didn't help.
So today is my birthday (just drop it in there) was odd going into work and not being covered in glitter and badges along with carryng about Colin the pink Flamingo
It's been the longest day ever too...
Might take him out tonight... lol
50k is not a lot when you deduct the 25k stall cost, and overheads, stock, staff, fuel etc

How much does a pitch cost at Glasto anyway?
You are looking too deep into my trader stall idea, no doubt quite a few £s

Last went in 2013, usually all the coverage puts me in a mood and I tend to avoid the BBC stuff over the weekend but this year, I'm wistful about not being there but actually feeling really fond about the festival and the good time people seem to be happening. I hope the weather remains dry for them. 2010 was an amazing year, it being dry makes such a difference.
As for a fail-safe way to get a ticket, I reckon marrying into the family might be the only fail - safe way. ;). Traders license is not always guaranteed
Oh that is an idea, I found out about Patrick Evais today thanks to the one show, wonder if he is single lol

2008 was my first one too! have missed 2009 as was in a mood for braking my leg at the 2008 festival! 2010 could not get tickets, and 2013 think I couldn't get ticket this year either it is not embedded in my memory!
Radio 1 I avoid they just annoy me! Wonder why they are doing those interviews? most odd and annoying
hmm sparking wine bar... think I could only have it open 2 hours? max festival enjoyment time?
I was knee deep in my dissertation to be too concerned about going, alas it hit me on Monday, tomorrow is my birthday too, mum just texted about going for a meal.... its not the same!
Thanks for the great suggestions

So as I am not on the farm having fun, is it wrong to be coming up with business ideas that will ensure I will never have to endured being ticketless again and hating the BBC and metro paper (media sources so far today) for doing features articles on Glastonbury?
So far I have come up with the ideas of...
Buying a horse box trailer and turning it into a gin bar or sparkling wine bar
Buying a farm and holding my very own festival

I thought you needed a general ticket and then you could book worthy view. So would have thought you need to show ticket and wristband.
I'm not 100% certain on that though.
Yes you need a general ticket and wristband to get in, however I hear the bar and showers in WV are good!

Have the dates for 2019 officially been announced yet, I've missed out on tickets for the last 2 years, absolutely gutted not to be there now, but have found out today one of my friends (who has been to the festival with us before) is getting married on the 29th June 2019, I have a feeling they are going to clash.
Food for thought here....
My cousin got married on the sat of the festival in 2014, I told him to move his wedding he refused. I was successful in getting tickets.... come June of to the festival I went with a half thought of driving home the sat for the wedding... come the sat morning I was like fuck it I'm staying put
Got some stick of my auntie who told me they won't come to my wedding... I'm happy single with no man on the horizon and very much doubt I will marry....
Less than a year of marriage they broke up and are now divorced...
Moral of the story do what pleases you and not others, I would be fuming if I gave up glastonbury to attend a wedding that did not even last!!!
Presented with the same choice Glaso or a wedding I'd still choose Glasto

Will be weekend of 29th 30th June
My birthday is the 23 June and I have never had a Sunday birthday on the farm only Wednesday Thursday and Friday (which I am missing)

That moment when you are at work, working for a event related company and your operations manager walks in and you almost plead with them to get you a ticket as they must know someone onsite to help out, then the conversation gets twisted with the others in the office, sexual favours being performed is mentioned...

According to dr google I will need 6000 ballons.
considering I struggle to tie knots in ballons, this plan will not get off the ground
6,000 wow
I think one of those jet packs will be a better idea

How many helium balloons do you think it would take for it to make a man with a ruck sack float 30ft in the air?
And does anyone know where I can get helium at short notice?
This is where johnny has 6 Apples Amy has 5 and Jake ate 9 maths comes into play....
Not a clue.... ask Pixal they had a house take of with the use of balloons...

he has a really wonderful machine indoors that transfers data from his heart every night to the hospital via wifi... we rely on satellite as broadband is non existent ...he thinks I chose the house because internet is rubbish... ...errmmm would I do that
That sounds amazing, I guess satellites are more reliable than wifi too, less chance of failure
I choose my cars by the lack of boot space... helps me get out of driving my brother to the pub!

you have to have humour especially as mine is female.. my grandson has it too and he is mixed race ... it's just something that we are used to and have spent many fun days picking out maps and other rude Images drawing on her skin .. its not life threatening and she has had it all her life... it gets worse but so slowly so we never notice... others do though
My husband has had an internal defibrillator due to a big heart attack at 24 and he gets ribbed mercilessly ... keep telling him to shove something in the microwave for me
Death by microwave, that is brillant
It is the only way through the good and bad times xxx

Man I should of asked Micheal when I meet him in 2014, for a lifetime ticket instead of being star struck and muttering thank you a hundred times!
I should be entitled (god hate that word no one is entitled to anything) to a lifetime ticket, my argument is its my birthday on Friday (23rd June)
Micheal if you are reading this

my eldest has this (Vitiligo) she could get in every year as she changes that much... good we can find humour in it
Dark humor can be the best, My brother is disabled spina biffida always joking about his disability, but according to the Government he was abled bodied last year while we was fighting for his PIP to be reinstated.... often joke about the summer he could walk, run, hop, jump and give me (little sister) piggy backs!
Chap at the mini tescos end of my road has it, you look at his hands and forearms see a white person with moles yet rest of skin (on show he does not stand there naked) is a black man, its most odd/confusing! xx

So at one brief point today I had a performer ticket in my name but that fell through. I do have the genuine offer of another dude's ticket but - although Sea Glass's wording is poor - he has a legit point. I'd already turned down a ticket that actually looked like me 15 years ago on the basis that I'm dark-skinned and therefore possible to have a little more gate attention in the current climate (I've been 15 times before, always walked straight in, no searches or anything, no I don't have a beard!). And turning up on a Friday is my only choice so there is unlikely to be much queuing and pressure on the gate staff to get people through quickly.
The ticket I've been offered is from a black dude but we're different shades - think his strong coffee vs my medium tea
. What should I do? ARGH.
Claim you have that skin whiting disease/disorder/condition that Micheal Jackson had/has

I think I will say its my parents address but still learn some details about it, they would expect you to have visited. Im going to make revision sheets and colour code them, maybe.
If anyone sees a slightly deranged woman on one of the coaches from London with info cards muttering about Tesco it will be me.
Sounds silly but if you have time might be worth going onto google maps and use the little man to walk about key points in the area, then you will have a visual of what area looks like and might help remember easier
Good luck xx

"I forget my name and what I look like, what chance do you think I've got to remember where a bloody Tesco is? It's a miracle I even made it this far!"
cant fail
Can you not say its your parents address and you've never lived there?
My Glastonbury reg details are all registered to my parents house, so is my driving license bank and car never changed it as used to move too often!

Oh I've had all this as well. Mainly from the girl at work who's going I may add. The girl at work whom I got tix for last year so she could go for her 50th. You certainly find out who your friends are....,
I've had that many times, helped people in the past then the following year they've not bothered to help me
had it happen this year I'm hoping karma catches up with the person in question

You just don't leave. Ever. Stay there til Glastonbury 2019.
I wish I did that last year... hid my tent somewhere and waited....
Can someone explain to me why when I have no ticket I have just found my anker and the lead, which was harder to locate and put it on charge? I think I am in denial

Imagine the scenes if on Wednesday morning the tweet goes out ' we're selling a few spare tickets on the door this year'
