Turns out we actually got 10, but no idea who bought the tenth.
Come on, own up if it was you...
We will be contacting SEE to cancel. Failing that, talk to card issuers.
yeah you probably have a good chance of getting them refunded it's a slip up allowing more than one campervan ticket per registration. We bought ours in the first resale a few weeks ago, so I don't think we can do anything with ours and it will go unused. But it's a shame when there is still demand and there are tickets that will go unused.

Managed to pick up a quiet east camper pass. Tickets didn’t last long
Snap ! I think I got ours in the first couple of seconds.

The resale crew needed 3 camper tickets today. Using three registrations we've managed to buy... 9.
GFL need to limit sales to one per reg I think!
We now have a B&W campervan ticket that we wont use, and I'm wondering what blutarsky's resale crew will do about their 6 surplus campervan tickets.

I used to spend most evening in the cinema field, the best memory I have is when they plate The Goonies, I'd dragged a mate up there, who had never seen the film, and when the whole crowd were screaming HEY YOU GUUUYS it was magical 😄
The cinema tent just isn't the same 😕
Yes I agree the open air cinema had a kind of magic to it. The collective fun and joy, and the films were well chosen for a bit of crowd participation, the ones I remember being on the Thursday also had an air of excitement of the the days ahead. Yeah the cinema tent struggled to compare, but it's great that glasto has a go at trying all these things out. I can't wait to get back to worthy farm this year.

Thursday night outside cinema. Back in the 90s that was just about the only official entertainment on the Thursday night. The most memorable one for me was Ghostbusters, the crowd were so chilled and happy singing along. It's still one of my happiest memories of my first few Glastonburys.

We had a bike trailer a bit like this when our 2 were younger (not at Glastonbury but other festivals). It was great and I preferred it as it was push rather than pull.
I still have it as I use it for taking my stuff from the car to where I camp
That's a good substantial piece of kit !
My days of having a child in tow at Glastonbury are over but ours went from 9 months old to adult. Over those years we had a quite a succession of transport/resting wheeled kit. Some were better than others.
The baby carrier was excellent, then came the Maclaren buggy, great when it wad dry not good in the mud, one or more wheels came off, then we bought a second hand three wheeler buggy more robust than the Maclaren but not as substantial as dondo's bike sidecar above. The three wheeler did ok but at one point the pin attaching the front wheel broke.... top tip .... I replaced it with a tent peg and whacked the unbent end at an angle to secure. Lastly and most disastrously as said child got older we got a fold up wheelbarrow thing. That was a very poor experience and I wouldnt recommend it.
Nowadays you see a lot of parents with those little wagons that remind me of little house on the prairie, they seem very popular but I have no idea where you buy them.
The biggest recommendation I have is not on transport but to definitely spend time in the Kidz field. It's quite a revelation, it's very chilled, the children's entertainment is of very high quality and totally fab from the all day children's caberet tent to the brilliant helta skelta to the excellent craft marquee ( face painting included) and the circus skills marquee, and so much more. All ages of kids are catered for...........and it's a marvellous way to get over the hangover from the night before.
I'm getting all nostalgic about the kidz field now 🥰
One other recommendation is at the back of the greenpeace field there is another kids bit and further back again is the ancient oak tree, a nice shady spot to rest and there used to be a children's book tent there hopefully it will still be there this year. Worth a visit with children.
It's a totally different festival with kids in tow some things you might miss but others are an unexpected bonus that you will love, I hope you have as brilliant a time as we did.

I wish I'd gone to see Iggy Pop and the Stooges. I don't even know what I was seeing when they were on. What was I thinking 🤔 .... Big regret.

We stayed on B&W and we didn’t take any glass as assumed the rule applied there as well. They do come onto the campervan and have a quick look round when you first arrive, nothing intrusive, think more just checking for “stowaways” 😊
OK thanks, I'll do the usual purge of glass items before we set off then.

OK thanks

Does anyone know what the policy is on glass at Bath and West CV site ? Is it not allowed like the rest of the festival ? I'm not intending to bring glass into the festival, just wondering if i will need to purge the van of all glass items as i have done in the past.
We tried for CV east in the resales but just got B&W CV ticket which is a first time for us.
Thanks

I've had it since sunday, its the first time I've had covid. It's felt like flu, but I think I'm over the worst now and I intent to do a test today. I'm triple vaccinated.
Timing hasnt been ideal as I had to cancel a long awaited hospital appointmemt on Monday ☹ Looking on the bright side my antibodies shoild be raised for BT in 7 weeks and glasto in 11 weeks.

It's going to be great to be back there, it's going to be a massively emotional gathering for us I think, back as a huge swarming collective for a few days in June, all motivated by the idea of having the best time we can together. I look forward to being surrounded again by you beautiful bastards and hope you have the time of your fucking lives.
I love this 😊 it sums it up beautifully.
Ive done the last 21, I thought the amazing run of luck was over and i had been to my last glasto. But just got tickets in the resale last weekend, whoohoo 😁
97 and 98 were beasts not helped by us not opening the tent after 97 until we got there again in 98 and it was all mouldy and disintigrating 🤣. Had to get our act together after that as we had a little one in tow ( under one year old right up to teenager). I remember the rain forming a river going under our tent in family camping one year someone with a better memory will know what year that was i recall some tents in kidney mead being under water overnight the poor souls. In recent years we have been in a van which is a sheer luxury.
I had reconciled myself to not going this year, getting tickets has reignited my enthusiasm massively and spindles' words are spot on.

It’s delicious!
Tried Lilt and spiced rum this evening. Also delicious! 🏝
Well I might just have to get over myself and try it 😁
I like the spiced rum and lilt recommendation better though 😁😁
-
We usually take 2 to 3 red wine pouches/boxes,
G&T cans
hip flasks of rum and ameretto, both nice for adding to late night coffee/hot choc.
I just saw the Travelman episode in Basque the other night where they apparently have red wine mixed with coke !! then I noticed it listed on here ..... I had no idea it was a thing.
It doesnt sound like a nice thing, but I'm intrigued !

How easy is this process? For Beautiful Days last year used Seetickets...absolute nightmare...got the tickets literally the day before we left to go. So much easier getting them this far in advance.
Can't wait...great line up, lovely people, and in a couple of days we can actually say its next month.
IT'S NEXT MONTH 😁😁😁

Thank you 🙏. Just waiting for decisions tomorrow at work - then all systems go to what I’m doing for the rest of august . I feel like I’ve worked far too much and need some fun for sure …. And that’s in the shape of BD or worthy pastures . Was googling tents at 4am this morning 🙈🙈🙈
We can wait to list the ticket on twickets until tomorrow morning if you want.
-
We have one adult weekend ticket which we intend to put on twickets at face value tomorrow. If anyone is interested I can let you know when we about to put it on twickets.
We have actually received the tickets in the post today.

Thanks to all for all the extra information regarding campervans ?
-
Thank you for all that information, we have general admission tickets again for 2019 but have thought about volunteering in the future.
-
Just out of interest where do the various volunteer teams camp and if they have the use of a campervan would they be able to bring it on site ?

Excellent mud montage there Gnomicide ! i was wondering how to describe the various stages of mud you encounter at the festival, you have captured it beautifully.
In 2016 i fell flat on my back on the walk down from the campervan fields in mud like you have shown in picture 2. The back of me was covered from the ankles up to the shoulders but it was lunchtime and I laughed it off and the sun dried it out over the afternoon I was a happy bunny. I was not a happy bunny when I did exactly the same thing about 8 hours later near the caberet tent in mud as depicted in photo 4 but really deep ? no sun left to dry it out and I was wet through and very cold all that evening.
I have stopped wearing those wellies and gone back to my long ribbon tied doc martens, have never slipped in those but it has taken me 2 years to get them mud free
-
Can I join you if I bring some St Agur or Shepherd's purse Yorkshire Blue ?...... I should be able to shoe horn some into my campervan fridge.
oh and I rather like a drop of Madeira in my hip flask ?

Ive found the answer to my question in the following thread in Questions ?
Campervan fields distance to festival?
-
We are in CV East too. Very thankful for our tickets but in the past we have always secured CV east quiet ( or family as it was descibed previously ) so we were trying for those as our first choice.
Can anyone comment on how much further the walk is to the pedestrian gate ? How long is it to the furthest away CV east field ?
Wherever we end up I am so happy we got festival tickets and CV tickets but I'm just trying to prepare myself for the longer walk.

yeah same happened to me I had almost 7 minutes that the tickets were on hold but it kept hanging and the payment page just never appeared and then it booted me off. I tried back paging and it kept hanging. Eventually I got the event not found.
