    My mate has also booked us into this. What do people actually think the walk time will be to the main stages? I'm having flashbacks to my last time on the farm when the already quite considerable hike back to the Oxfam camping was exacerbated by inebriated meandering. I might need to get my fitness up in the next few weeks!

    They advertise it as being a flat 15/20 minute walk to the Pyramid stage I believe. They’ve told me they are located 30 metres from Gate D. If you Google maps the location for Holt Farm and then compare it you should be able to figure out the distance. I checked from Holt Farm to the Park Stage and it worked out about 1.3km so about 15 mins walking time which isn’t bad!

    May I ask what this win consisted of? 

    Of course!

    It was with a popular local wedding venue and included the ceremony, food and drinks for up to 50 people and had to be taken on a Friday in 2022 (we won in the February and married in September so fairly short notice for planning!) it didn’t include things like the photography, cake, dress but it was a fairly pricey venue and it would have normally been around £8-10k!

    Hi all,

     

    Considering booking the new off-site campsite, my husband is worried about queueing times going to and from the festival when we return to our tent etc. 
    I have a feeling that after the Friday the queues in and out won't be that bad but does anyone have experience? I haven't hopped on and off site since 2015 and can't remember for the life of me whether I had to queue or not.

    oh wow!  did you win with a block of cheese this time?!

     

    no screaming down the phone at Radio 1 then 😄 

    Haha no it was with the Guardian! I've won tickets to so many other festivals before too! It's a bit of an addiction.

    You must have the best luck I've ever known in winning competitions to the festival!

    Have I ever mentioned I won my wedding too? 🤣 I do enjoy entering all sorts of competitions! I must be a bit lucky, never had any lottery winning luck but it would probably help to buy tickets ha!

    Congrats to all this week's winners! Amazing to see the success here in comparison to previous years.

     

    Not sure why you are panicking about car parking tickets though, you can buy them on entry. Granted, it's usually a fiver more than in advance but no biggy if you got free tickets. CV tickets probably more of a challenge but FYI I've just cancelled mine for CV East as I'm now going in the main campsites so at some point I assume there will be a mini resale!

    I'm only worrying about being able to purchase anything because my winning ticket isn't linked to my registration so I actually cannot buy anything 🤪 I'll have no choice but to turn up and hope for the best but I'm just grateful to be going!

    I was suspicious myself so emailed Yurtel directly last night through their website and they replied today confirming it is a legitimate venture that they’ve done at Big Feastival. When I paid and my bank did the app security check thing it came up as Yurtel as the vendor. I’m not sure what more checks I could have done and I trust people on here more than GC to be honest even though I’m more of a lurker than a poster usually.

    There is still a small seed of doubt that it’s too good to be true but I paid on CC so hoping that gives me some sort of protection if it’s an elaborate scam!

    Good shout with the credit card payment. Think I’m going to go for it too.

    That's about it - though I would argue about the better camping ground part.

    I thought the camping area was awful, by Thursday evening everyone was crammed in like sardines with people pitching up on the fire exit routes and being moved on.

    As you have free tickets is it worth looking at more expensive camping options? There's a thread about pitch your own glamping at Holt farm, which is just by pg D. They still had plots available when I looked a couple of days ago.

    I am looking into this option 😇 it's technically going to be our honeymoon so could push the boat out!

    Yeah there was no terms and conditions which is why I questioned it. Hopefully it was legit and someone wins! 

    You were right about this one.
    Under the ASA it is law to have terms and conditions clearly displayed or linked.

    I was a Worthy Winner as well (technically my wife, but I nominated her)

     

    Still can't really believe it, and very worried it was some sort of scam but it all seams legit.

     

    I wondered if anyone else had won a competition before and knows how to buy a car park pass, please?

    congrats! I would imagine that once your registration number has a ticket associated with it you will be able to purchase a car parking pass via this page - Glastonbury 2024 - Car Parking (seetickets.com)

    I won with last years Co-Op cheese. Couple of days after confirming I wanted the tickets they asked for reg numbers.

    Week or so later I got the see tickets email saying confirming the tickets 
     

    My reg was then ok to buy car parking.
     

    Email your reg numbers to competition owner

    So from what I have heard from the Guardian the tickets we win aren't linked with our registration so we cannot try and purchase car parking tickets or campervan tickets! 


    I've e-mailed Glastonbury for more help but if anyone knows any more please do share!

    Had the last two chocolates in Cardiff today, no dice but the almond ones are so much nicer than the salted caramel so I’m taking that as a small win 😂🍀🙌

    Try using them in brownies too! Amazing.

    Can someone that has already got a ticket help me out please?

     

    Now I've got tickets, I want to try and get a campervan ticket as well.  We will be taking our 9 year old and the campervan route makes it much simpler.

     

    I don't know how the Brothers competition tickets get handed out,  but at the moment my Glasto reg number doesn't show as having a ticket associated with it, so I can't get into  https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/event/campervan-caravan-tickets/worthy-farm/3500005 to see what is still available. 

     

    I'd be very thankful if someone can just have a look and see if anything is still available in CV East, or is it all Bath and West?

     

     

     

     

    We're in the same boat! We don't know if we can take our motorhome or not as can't see if there's any tickets available. However we have decided we won't be taking our children (oopsie! We definitely need a break from parenting after nearly 3 years without even a night away!)
