Didn’t get tickets… so spending my Glastonbury money in Gran Canaria Live for today! (Borrow if the resale works!)

You could squeeze and decant (into small plastic bottles) your own fresh lime juice… nice with a drop of rum 🥃

I am booked in for knee replacement on Feb 12th… similarly without tickets but certainly a recovery target if the resale gods are kind…

They could call them sheet holes..... 👀 i'll get my coat

I once did a Sunday night and whilst we were off site pretty quick it was a really tiring drive home.. (never again) Mostly, I have tried to be leaving by 7-7:30am and then you are likely on the A37 in 15-20 mins. Make sure you are organised enough on Sunday to have an easy pack up and go Monday morning Trying to leave around 9am would probably mean a couple of hours or more of queueing Enjoy!

impressive cheese dedication 👍

You are a prince among men @Yoghurt on a Stick Lets loop back round again as we get near to April... (having someone lucky on your side is never a bad thing!) Who knows where we will be by then...? We have Christmas to survive first and i may (fingers crossed) have been made bionic by the NHS (my knee is being replaced)... I could be bouncing like a spring lamb or absolutely broken...

Its a tricky one... you want to make your last one something you do on your own terms as opposed to staring at a holding page for an hour and then getting the fomo feelings that inevitably come from reading the celebratory stories on here... I think you had mentioned that you were going to ditch WV and head back on site this year anyway.? I dont imagine you would be swayed by the cache of having a hospitality wristband... but having a comfortable, central camping spot and the opportunity to use some cut throughs would be pretty handy.. I say treat yourself... Just dont like it too much or you will never go back!

If you are not already, get yourself registered... and if you get through to the booking page on resale day....There's your fate..! because fate has it for me that I am not supposed to go.. I am supposed to eat cheese for no apparent reason

The old Cheese, Chocolate & Cider diet will be back again then...

you are not related to @Yoghurt on a Stickare you.??

we have 3 10's a 9 and an 8... always baffled me

Just noticed that Gaz Coombes is announcing UK dates for April in some bigger venues... This years show was superb.. I hope it works well for him, he really deserves it. One of our better singer/songwriters in MHO I will be in Hammersmith for sure.

granted I dont have a ton of experience as I have never volunteered... but i have stayed in the CV fields over 10 times... Immediate experience with it was when my wife and daughter drove the car up on the Wednesday as they couldnt come with us on the Tuesday... They had to show Festival tickets to get access to the Car Park and then had to show them again to get from CP to CV East... Last year I helped a lady in the CV fields get moved as her neighbours were obnoxious... The fella on the gate between CP and CVE was at pains to let us know that he could not leave his post in case anyone tried to get in the gate... and he directed us to the (named) Lead Steward and his wife (Deputy) who were proper switched on... EVERY time i have gone through the gates at PGC (probably 50+ times) I have had to show my ticket and more often than not am asked to remove hat & sunglasses... Your 'old hippy woman sitting on a chair waving' isnt a fair reflection..

😲

I've certainly seen large groups (up to 20) of youngsters wandering around the CV fields before.. What has always surprised me is that 1. You have to get into the car parks (assume you need at least a car park ticket for that?) 2. You have to get from the car-parks to the CV fields (they are all manned gates) and that is before the even trickier 3. Getting from CV fields into the festival... That being said it would need thousands to get in to make the festival feel over busy surely...?

Hey... nothing sweeter than a cider induced short nap in the Sunday afternoon sunshine..!

That is a pretty good setlist tbf... (never really considered him before) My friend would have to sit in her CV with headphones on until it was all finished though... Musical artichoke and all that!

Yeah, I dropped in there on Thursday afternoon trying to get some respite from the sun and it was mobbed.... Then returned on Saturday night to see Vintage Trouble and the tent was half empty.. (Mel C was on before and I saw the last couple of her set from the Avalon Inn on the big screen they have on the outside of the tent!! The field is basically now just a large tent and a bar.. to your point a little charmless compared to what it used to be... If they are going to keep that set-up (I wasnt there in 2022 so dont know what it was then) then they will have to find some big acts to play in there.. Anyone know what the new capacity is vs the old.?
