  1. Thanks! That's reassuring! Yes, we all booked Bath one way in one ticket deposit purchase in 2019. My understanding from searching the forums is there will be an early morning Bath departure and one later, like mid-afternoon. My hope would be for our group to get on the earlier one. I mean my biggest concern is just that we don't get placed on different buses, but getting the earlier bus would also be nice.
  2. Just paid off my balance. First time going. Exciting! So 6 of us bought a coach+ticket package but it's now down to 4, who are all paying off our tickets separately. Does this potentially mean we are split up on the coach? Or is it only the deposit grouping that matters? Same question but for coach departure times. Does how early we pay our balance affect which coach time we are assigned? Or do people think this is determined by when we got in on the ticket deposit sale? Thanks in advance! 🙂
  3. 4/6 - the 2 that are out were also likely out in 2020. Trying for 1 in the resale.
  4. Heh, good point. The act name is "EARTHGANG" who were on the 2020 poster. I saw the date the USA tour ended and posted before realizing the Europe dates pick up many months later.
  5. Our lead booker got the same terrifying email about us all (maybe) being refunded that others got. I also share in common that one of our group asked for a refund last year. When I look up the lead bookers ticket booking, i get a page showing us 5, and the person that asked for refund separate from us below - nothing about a refund for any of us, though - just that weird separation. I’m hoping this was just a terribly worded email, and it just means the one refund is being imminently processed. But i may not be able to help myself and be on the phone with SeeTickets England tomorrow just to be sure. (Also will keep looking at this thread - everyone else who got this email please do update!)
  6. I think Skunk Anansie would be quite surprised to be dropped based on their tour dates (or lack of dates during Glasto weekend). Happy Mondays are also around and active (though without such an obvious hole so far).
  7. It’s an ironic bit of shade to throw considering the forum creator/owner literally posted 2 above this comment. The idea that those against lockdowns and restrictions are “dicks” or “unkind” that @blutarsky puts forward is a bit infuriating considering the damage of said restrictions/lockdowns are all taken out on the lower classes, while not protecting those classes as they are deemed “essential workers,” taking the brunt of the sickness while also suffering the economic costs of the restrictions that only protect wealthier communities. I would dare say those *for* lockdowns and restrictions are indeed the cruel ones, ignoring this reality, often because they are upper class themselves with work from home jobs. Also, it’s all a bit hypocritical because those the most in favor of lockdowns and restrictions would never allow mass gatherings, so those insulting us are doing so on the side of people that would likely never want Glastonbury to happen again, certainly not this year.
  8. First sign of Goldfrapp back from the 2020 poster.
  9. To be fair, I also saw your post calling it “zero” costs and got a bit upset, though I tend to not like getting into arguments, or even posting, on here. Though I appreciated you putting quotation marks around “zero,” it still felt you were inferring masks were worth it as an intervention if stopping 10% of cases and the zero you typed felt like you were minimizing their costs. I change my behaviors dramatically to avoid places that require masks, it’s a big deal to me. It’s possible this is an age issue and younger people have less issues with them? But @jannybruck has already written it better than I could in terms of the cumulative impact of people like me avoiding most activities that require masking. Where I am, NYC/USA, there is also a real problem with “experts” claiming masking has zero impact on children and schools with lots of gain. This is slowly (too slowly) being proven wrong with study after study, but another reason the word “zero” gets under my skin, because I see it written all the time by “experts” on Twitter defending things like school and child masking as well.
  10. Yes, coming to the site for the first time every day there is a considerable timeout for me. First request and sometimes multiple pages after (timeout, then error 500). It eventually behaves normally. Until the next day.
  11. It’s funny someone came here to complain about this thread today. I came here just now to *thank* everyone for this thread as we hit a new year. I don’t post here, but I read daily, and seeing others who have a cynical view of the lockdown and restriction obsessed keeps me optimistic as this roller coaster trudges on. So, thank you! I pray for the day this thread is no longer needed, but sadly I don’t see a future yet where all restrictions are gone, or where there aren’t people demanding more, that then leads me to come here to agree with the other, shall we say, restriction-cynical posting here. So thank you! Keep it up, and happy new year! (And hopefully I’ll see some of you at Glastonbury? If some of you even have tickets? Or go to music festivals? Haha.)
  12. 500 error still happening, which I presume is what they are very nicely offering you to troubleshoot and fix.
  13. I'm down to 70% but I'm not sure no announcement this week would affect my confidence one way or another. Even if they had an announcement planned and were 100% going ahead they still may delay the announcement until England is at least past the peak of this new wave.
  14. ALBUMS OF THE YEAR Emma Ruth Rundle - Engine of Hell Lucy Dacus - Home Video Amyl and The Sniffers - Comfort To Me Viagra Boys - Welfare Jazz Marissa Nadler - Instead of Dreaming Ada Lea - one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club Low - Hey What Snapped Ankles - Forest of Your Problems Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever "I wish there were more than 10 slots for" - Whispering Sons - Several Others, Iron Maiden - Senjutsu, The Bronx - The Bronx VI, Lana Del Rey - Blue Banisters
  15. 95% - The side that is pushing for restrictions now in the UK, they won’t stop once they get some. They will keep pushing, and that side does not want festivals happening, even in summer. When have the people that have demanded more restrictions ever been OK with loosening restrictions? This idea of some on here that thinks, “restrictions now will mean we can have festivals later” are not looking at what’s happening. You don’t get an eventual treat if you stay at home and wear a mask today, you will just embolden the people that want restrictions to push for more. Covid is endemic, it’s never leaving, everyone is getting it. This discussion now is how we end up living for the next 10 years. If “plan b” happens I will go lower still. 😕
  16. This confirms London Grammar and Anna Calvi both back at Glastonbury from the 2020 poster which is good news for me.
  17. Yeah it won't be Kendrick that will cause a reaction it will be the realization that Billie Eilish is the replacement for Taylor Swift.
  18. This brings back imelda may from the 2020 poster.
  19. 95% - Now that Reading/Leeds other festivals have happened without the press declaring they've murdered people, I'm a lot more confident. And now that covid is being considered endemic it will never be under control, so it's a matter of how we live in the world with this as a truth. My 5% not happening is the idea that maybe Glastonbury just packs it in in this "New Normal" and does Worthy Farms and similar things but I think that's (hopefully) extremely unlikely.
  20. I now realize British Airways extended my travel credit to April 2023 and so am now waiting for flight prices for Glasto dates to drop. I'm going to plan for it happening until I go or until it isn't, though I'm less optimistic than others here that it will actually happen.
  21. 53% (but happy everyone else is very confident!) good signs for me are UK curve going down, Ferguson’s optimism and clear rules forthcoming for mass gatherings and nightclubs. Bad signs are CDC’s reaction to delta in the USA (i think all western countries effect each other), glasto cancelling their September event, worry mongering in the USA and UK over festivals being “super spreader events” (even by forum people here), and an ongoing obsession with transmission not hospitalizations/deaths.
