He was on when guns n roses were on as all my mates went to that instead. He was brilliant, perfect time of day too with sun setting.

Ben was a highlight of the weekend, was hoping to see him on the bill again this year but he's out in America at that time, although he does have the Glasto weekend free so who knows.

They were fantastic in 2016, I'd definately watch them again unless there was something significant happening elsewhere (I need to get a ticket first). They get a lot of bad press on here but there is no denying they put on a great show.

It is but slightly underwhelming compared to Pangea or even the spider. Struggle to see how they will utilise it to make use of the space. Has a Genosys bus vibe about it.

If it's a 2 man scout you want you'll get one. I got one in 2022 about 2 weeks before the festival. They come back on sale regularly, just keep checking back.

A lot of those costs come with running CV fields too, and you get a bigger patch of land there compared to what you get at WV. Hiring tents, showers, toilets etc I get but still seems a bit steep compared to CV. I've stayed at WV twice and loved it but not sure the cost is justified for a 2 man tent you couldn't swing a cat in and that you boil alive in if it's warm with no means of ventilating with windows etc.

The prices are getting a bit ridiculous now. Why is it so expensive when a campervan ticket is 200 quid and you get way more real estate than you do with a 2 man scout tent? I'd have thought the land would be the cost driver but it must be very expensive for them to hire the tents, or they are just ripping us off at this point.

Did you happen to take a screenshot showing it saying your registration was allocated? If so and it was indeed a glitch it would be worth challenging it with them.

As I said in a later post it's a hunch. I seriously doubt that many tickets went to people who understand the tech side of the system. If it was that simple to understand then everyone on here would know how it all works and we'd all have tickets. Clearly there are flaws in the system but I would guess that very very few know how to exploit it.

It may be, but most people wouldn't even think of trying to understand it because they would assume it is too complicated so they will inevitably go to getting helpers as a default.

It does a bit, but organising friends to try for you is more within everyone's ability than understanding the tech behind how the system works and how to use that to your advantage.

No source other than a hunch. I don't think having big groups trying is gaming the system, it's more when people are IT savvy and can figure out back door links and all that stuff I don't understand!

The system is fine as it is. The reality is the odds are massively against you, it is a lottery and down to luck. I would say less than 5% of tickets went to people gaming the system, the rest just went to regular punters going through the motions like the rest of us.

Oh dear, that's a lot of alarms to sleep through. Look on the bright side, you were enjoying sleep whilst I was pressing buttons for an hour for no reason whatsoever.

Yep, been every year since 2014, 4 times I got tickets in the resale. I just hope they don't implement the same system they did for the resale earlier this year.

This. Although that didn't pay off for me today, refreshing two devices constantly in a nice rhythm for a bloody hour and nothing 🙁

Not a sniff for me this year, gutted. Fingers crossed for April. Congrats to all those who were successful.

Did you bag a ticket this year? None for me 🙁

No order Cure pyramid 2019 QOTSA Other 2023 The War on Drugs Other 2023 Ben Bohmer Lonely Hearts Club 2023 Chemical Bros Other 2019 Coldplay Pyramid 2016 Foos Pyramid 2017 Bonobo West Holt's 2022 Radiohead Pyramid 2017 Bicep West Holt's 2022

I was there too and it was awesome. I think more people would have went to the other instead of pyramid if it were Madonna playing that night. I do think we will get a strong billing on the Other the night Madonna is playing.

They will need to have a pretty good top 2 on the same day as Madge to draw people away from Pyramid, just like TWOD into QOTSA this year on Sunday. Excited to see who they go for.

Chems instead of Killers Roisin Murphy instead of Mccartney QOTSA instead of Elton 3 best decisions I've made at the fest leaving my group and not going to see an act to just say I was there.

Terrible news, RIP Sinead

The festival has climate change videos playing all day on the main stages between acts whilst helicopters ferry in the rich and the famous to play a few songs for our enjoyment. If the festival were to have solidarity for this cause then it should cancel itself.

Yeah figured that was the case, just wondered if they planned their route over the fest (at request of the fest or for their own publicity) or was it on route anyway from where they came from. There was an A400M cruising around that day as well.
