    Typical Glasto nightmare last night.

    I was able to get entry on the Tuesday, met by Emily and given a personal guided tour of the whole site (that was the best bit). When Wednesday arrived, at different times of the day pretty much everyone I know turned up and each had their own difficulties (can't find the site, can't get in, need help working out where to pitch up, etc.) - I spent all day trying to help them out while keeping up with my own festival. One by one, all of them decided they didn't enjoy Glastonbury and left disappointed. It ended with a strong sense that I had failed to properly show them what it's like.

    Sigh.

    Pretty much echoes a waking concern I have.

    There are 6 of us coming from Melbourne,  pretty much all based on my hype (over last 25 years) for the festival.

    I've got no doubt the the festival will live up to the hype , but the real possible horror of a positive Covid test at the gate has me worried.

    I left early on that Monday morning, battled through the traffic, got home, showered, cleaned up, had a cup of tea and ordered a pizza which arrived just as England were kicking off against Iceland…

    Ended up wishing I was still in the car park queue.

    We took 3 hours to get to Wells caked in mud,  where the little old ladies running the BnB were "delighted" to see us.

    The end of festival anticlimax plunged to depression watching Iceland take England apart.

    I had a ticket posted to Australia in 2015. The first and last time I’ll do that. It took weeks to arrive and I was convinced it had been lost. I contacted the office and arranged to pick up a replacement in a collection booth they have somewhere near PGA, but it really put a dampener on the whole experience which was supposed to be exciting.

    In the end, my ticket did arrive so when I arrived I just used it and hoped they hadn’t cancelled it somehow. However clever and secure tickets are, I don’t think it’s possible for them to actually cancel it as a valid ticket, is it? I don’t recall tickets ever being scanned and cross matched with a database or anything like that. 

    Had similar paranoia the one time I did it, was also convinced I'd lose them travelling back to UK and developed OCD symptoms from checking up on them.

    Quick question about ticket delivery. Having emigrated in 2020 this year will be our first year as a ‘foreigner’ I’m in a quandary whether to get the tickets sent to us in Luxembourg or to my parents in the UK. The post from the UK post Brexit is really quite slow so I’m wondering how far in advance do they post the tickets? I could just play it safe and get the tickets sent to my parents but that would mean a long detour to collect them and would mean coming to the UK before we had intended to.

    If I was you I wouldn't take the chance. I'd get them sent to your folks house and go and give them a visit beforehand.

    just hearing it via others so might not prove to be accurate ... id be more confident of the DJs for pangea that I posted across the way 

    Is this a reference to the Chems playing at Pangea?....that would be awesome

    I last time I went was coach tickets from Reading, and we didn’t leave until 2 or 3pm Thursday so missed the entire daytime as well. Luckily our friend had put our tent up for us and taken our booze. 
     

    To the other points everyone individually got their tickets, not just the lead Booker getting everyones

    Well that would be a tad disappointing if its as late as that.

    Mind you, not complaining. 

    Better to arrive late than not at all.

     

  7. We've got 6 coach tickets for this year , for the Thursday from Bath.

    First time with coach tickets,  so wondering if anyone would know approximately when the coaches leave?

    Obviously,  losing a day already, we want to get there as early as possible.

    I'm sorry are we living in absolute lala land? The same police who didn't have enough evidence to investigate have given damning evidence to the inquiry? The same inquiry which they're waiting the results of before deciding if it's worth investigating? 🤡
