Sack truck

Simon and Oscar in the midst of an acoustic tour at the moment so will likely be that ?

One person goes out with two wristbands (their own still on), two tickets (their own plus one that looks a bit like person they are trying to get in) - they get a pass out but then go to the desk to say they have lost it. A bit of paperwork at the office and they get given another pass out - they then have all the required bits to get someone in (providing they pass the ticket check although this seems to have been mostly done by folk on the Saturday so checks maybe aren't as stringent). They were using carrier bags under the wristbands to get them off

Group of 20 or so round us last couple of years that used the pass out trick, got their bands off with carrier bags & came in on someone elses ticket. Just report your pass out lost, fill in a few forms & get a spare pass out, sounded like the checks on the tickets weren't that great (or they knew someone that waved them through) There were about half a dozen that had paid someone £500 to get them in smuggled in a Landrover at night, They got in but some apparently got caught as the guy was late turning up and instead of two waiting there was around 12 and security got onto them. That was on the Thurs night. Didn't stop him though as brought a load in on the Friday, must be a nice little earner Genuinely felt like the ticket holders were in the minority round by us ! Hopefully they check tickets a bit more or have measures in place to change the system & cut down on the smugglers First few years I went there used to be times you had to get your band checked or held up in air so they could see you had one, doesn't seem to be that anymore. Be interesting to know the actual number sneaking in. My guess is it's fairly high

Exactly this- got a scorcher then it has rained pretty much non stop with only a few dry days here and there. Was saying this yesterday as been a nightmare trying to cut the grass since then.

Take the good weather every time - the music is a nice side bonus for me for what is a holiday with my mates away from the daily stresses. Good weather makes it much better (I'm ok with rain but sun much better!) - Lineup could be anything and I wouldn't care either way

Any speculation as to what days which headliner will be playing if Dua/SZA/Coldplay?

Mate got ours, we had about 20 people trying and only he got to a booking page. Other group we know got bombed out with an unknown postcode, same issue as it seems others have had. He had checked it a few times before and was ok, it was him that got through so he knew something was up as even after trying retyping then copying and pasting from actual email confirmation of registration, still couldn’t get past.

Got done on way in, same, never been done before. Speed awareness course incoming. 🙄

Eurythmics would be a banger packed set. Annie still has the lungs to give it some too

Certainly much less heat off them , used to feel it from where we camp but didn’t this year at all

For me was much better than 2022, campsites there seemed to be space for 2 man tents all the way through (just down from Arcadia so fairly central), getting about was easier, the one way crowd control stuff, whilst a pain initially as took way out the way wanted to go, worked perfectly as stopped head on crowd collisions at key points. Getting back from pyramid was never a hassle unlike year before, even after Elton, it moved along at a decent shuffle pace. The Arcadia fiasco of last year seem well sorted out always going to be times things feel cramped but didn’t feel dangerous like it had before. Obviously everyone only experiences certain parts but that’s my tuppence worth.

After the heat of 2019 our group room one of those storm shelter things last year . Stick it over our small space we had between our tents , straddling a load of our tents. Didn’t stop anyone else camping, didn’t take any more space and was a godsend during the hot spells. Nobody mentioned anything to us so I think common sense was in order. It’s back with us this year Those pop up gazebos are a waste of space though, can’t be secured and just fly away. The storm shelter one coped no problem

Kinda late in here, well done all on achievements! I’d tried to get fit for last years but left it too late, had just started feeling as though was getting somewhere then it was end June before I knew it. Felt good last year, legs a bit sore after day one. Caught the dreaded post Glasto norovirus /Covid /flu or whatever it was which knocked me for weeks after. took a while to get back going but have got stuck in at gym, doing weights as well as cardio.. I’ve lost 2 stone (down to weight I want to be) and feel pretty good about this year. Last few weeks been doing a couple of 3k power walks a day, have got way past the sore leg stage Anyways, thought I’d put this up, haven’t really mentioned to anyone I know why I’ve been on a fitness mission ! My advice is, keep whatever you have been doing up afterwards, you’ve done the hard bit! Have a good one all !

Dunno how hygienic getting fingered on day 5 of a festival would be but will take it!

Agreed, Glastonbury was safe haven from it all until very recently though, and is worse off for it imo
