For the Tipi sale, do you need to give the name of all the 6 occupants or just one lead booker is fine?
I still haven't defined who I'm sharing it with but definitely going to try as soon as they come available.

I had a problem buying tickets this year that I've never encountered or heard of before;
A couple on my group had recently changed their registration details to add their new postcode (that sometimes is not recognized by the post - as often happens with new buildings). They've received the confirmation of change but when we got through to buy our tickets it would let us proceed saying the postcode was wrong.
That of course ruined our chances and now we are 6 ticketless friends.
Have anyone experience or heard of a similar problem before? How to proceed?

A question for you smart people:
I've heard a few years ago that using the internet from UCL (or any uni with a good connection) is a bonus for some technical reason - as far as I remember it was said that it "opens a few doors" and puts you in front of the queue.
I have no idea what im talking about, so i'm sorry about the terms.
But the thing is, I always got my tickets here so easily. last year I got on the resale for 8 friends (3 different purchases), plus the normal sale ones that i got for two groups.
Same good luck on the year before on the coach sale, sunday and then resale.
It is just a coincidence or there's something about my connection here that is helping me?
This year I couldn't be bothered to come to work early and couldn't even open the seeticket page. luckily a friend got for me.

Managed to get 3 tickets for Run the Jewels, if anyone needs one give me a shout!
Does anyone know if the bands start at 7pm or a bit later? I might only be able to get there at 7ish and don't want to miss everything in the queue.
-
I have two tickets for this friday 2pm but I'm afraid i won't be able to make it.
Does anyone know if it's worth trying to get there saturday day and queue? How long people are queing for on the weekend?
-
Look what was posted on the Fb page:
I've managed to get through the payment and received a confirmation. Although never chose a date or whatever. Apparently I was only charged 10p for 5 tickets. It's a joke. defo. -
If that is true it basically means that anyone willing to attend the friday gigs will need to take the day off and queue during the entire day.
Oh well I might try that, if doesn't work, go back on saturday or sunday. Definitely Bristol and WSM will profit from that. -
Given that Disclosure have been working with Lorde, I would expect her on the bill as well.
-
I feel they should really make more noise about that one tbh, seems to be plenty of people who think its just a money making scheme.
They should, indeed. When I asked everyone around was surprised and quite annoyed and no one explained. A few people even left the queue..
-
2 pounds for a moustache which gets you in all weekend and proceeds go to charity.
Ah okay, that's nice then.

I went to NYC Downlow on Thursday, massive queue to get in and they were asking £2 in the door, is that normal? I was a bit annoyed by that. Ended up meeting a friend who works there and manage to get in without queue/pay. But didn't go back to check on the other days.
Shangri-la was great on Saturday night during the headliners. I didn't fancy any of the headliners on the main stages and took the night to explore the busier areas. Really enjoyed Slaves and Molotov Jukebox who played just before them. Good surprise.
I like going to Shangri-la to check the activism bits, I really enjoy it. -

One girl managed to blag her ticket before we set off (Wednesday from London). She had to work Thursday, so she was going to go all the way to Glastonbury, take a train home, work Thurs, then go down to the fest. She had no luggage and I guess was very good at persuading the driver. But as other have said here, depends on your luck.
What time was your bus?
I might be that girl haha
Well i had to work on Wednesday what made things even worse.
-
I got mine at the departure point last year. I explained my situation to the driver who talked to the manager and my problem was solved. I was already inside the coach with all my stuff, ready to go.
I had a last minute presentation to give in a conference in london in the afternoon, so would be horrible to take the bus to glastonbury, train back, conference, train back. They trusted me. I'm not sure how they'll react if you just say that you want to drive up with your mates though.
-
I'm going in a big group as well, you're all welcome to join! Message me for my number if you want
There's nothing like good fun and new friends to get over the problems! -
Perfect world: Foo cancel the headliner slot, play a secret gig with Dave sat in a chair.
Prince save the day and show up as a headliner. After all the mess he (probably) made, would be nice to be the hero.
Or maybe Daft punk? hmmm -
Williams Green. I think the Pyramid one will be great but I really want to try to go to leftfield for the feminist panel.
Let's see, i'm still unsure -
Thanks for putting words in my mouth. I am 100% in support of this campaign, as I've mentioned in each post I've made in this thread. I have zero doubt it's an issue and support any campaign to raise awareness about it.
I pointed out the ONS statistics from last year, yes as you point out women are more likely to be victims of sexual violence, but across all categories of violence men are more likely to be the victims, it was relevant only in the context of someone suggesting women were more likely to be in dangerous situations. We generally live in a pretty safe society and while its pretty depressing that most people will be the victims of violence, and for women thats likely to be sexual violence, at some point in their life fortunately its not most times you leave the front door.
My broader point was about the danger of scaremongering as opposed to raising awareness, a balance needs to be struck in actively promoting a cause and not making everyone think they best not leave the house. Outside of gender issues you can see the, negative, impacts of these kind of tactics with the current wave of islamophobia that has currently gripped the country, based on a statistically insignificant chance of being involved in a terrorist attack.
I have no idea what your last point was about, I made no mention of gender issues in the quoted post. When i looked at that twitter account some of the tweets were about non gendered dickishness like being pushed in a crowd, is this what you meant?
Sorry if I misunderstood you and twisted your words.
What I tried to point out is that it's not an unlikely occurrence. it does make women scared most of the times.
I still go out and do my own things, but I do get scared to shout back sometimes, I think twice before leaving a few places by myself. I feel threatened.
I think the campaign is positive in all terms, it gives voice to people. It shows that there are lots of things going on in places that should be safe.
I'm not saying that every single tweet on that page brings real issues, it can be filtered a bit more. But it's the beginning of something.
My last point wasn't about your topic, but a reference to what was said before regarding sexual harassment not being a gender issue.
-
Going off on a bit of a tangent here. I agree that people might well think that, but statistically its incredibly unlikely to happen. Does having a campaign like this re enforce those concerns, and therefore make some women restrict their activities based on what is in actuality a pretty unlikely occurence?
Pretty unlikely occurrence?
Where did you get that information from?
Just from my personal experience:
I've been followed home 3 times already.
I've been followed on the street , on the tube, catcalled by a police officer, my bobs grabbed in a club and the security didn't believe me, touched by strangers on the street...
But yes, unlikely.
I have no reason at all to ask for a safer environment for women.
Some numbers for you: last year the rapes record increased by 29% as the overall crime fell by 16%.
Approximately 85,000 women are raped (400,000 are """only""" assaulted) every year in England and Wales, for men the number is approximately 9,000.
Is this not a gender issue? tell me how!?
-
A few girls already tried to explain their fears and thoughts on this topic, a lot of you seem to ignore.
A few guys tried to explain the point and thankfully (although symptomatic) they've been given some attention.
I'm not sure you're looking for enlightenment or just wan't to prove your point.
The information is out there.
Ignoring the issue is being part of the problem. -
Men suffers more violence in general, usually committed by men and for all sort of stupid reasons (war, gang fight).
Women suffer more sexual violence, also committed mostly by men.
LGBT people suffer lots of violence, generally related to the fact they're LGBT.Lots of the violence against women are related to the fact that the victim is a women and seem as an object for sexual satisfaction: groping, catcalling, rape...
AND most of the times when a woman suffers an abuse she is blamed and doubted. "It's not a big deal, you're wearing inappropriate clothes, too drunk, asked for it..."
That happens all the time, you might see it, you might not. just don't doubt. 1 in 5 girls were victim of sexual abuse. I'm sure you know lots of girls that experience that. (read the Everyday Sexism book, as someone suggested)
Violence in general, as is fights, are not related to the gender of the victim.
Feminism is not about superiority and we don't want to silence anyone. Just make people pay attention to things that are happening to us all the time without being said we're exaggerating and being """hysterical""".
As for the "Not all men" thing, congratulation if you never treated someone the wrong way, you deserve a medal. -
Got a collapsible water bottle for £2 from Primark. It holds 5 litres and is pretty decent.
I've bee using for two days with water and no leakages.
I tried to attach a picture but i don't know how to do that
-
You seem a bit confused and also contradict yourself here and are you suggesting muggings occur primarily to women as well? Absolute rubbish if that's the case.
I didn't say muggings occur primarily to women.
I said that violence like muggings occur to everyone, sexual harassment occur mostly to women.
As a woman I fear more being harassed and groped than being mugged.
