  1. I got a ticket! I was running a half marathon at 9am, so left a couple of friends trying for me... both got through within 5 minutes! I'm absolutely stunned! I missed it in 2011 as my son was 6 weeks old and then missed out on tickets last year completely and totally failed in last year's October sale. So happy! I'm taking my three year old as a single mum, so it's going to be a very different experience to before, but can't wait!

  2. I'm not going... it's tough :( My friends are there and have even had the kindness of sending me a picture of their set-up.

    I do have a very good reason and I wouldn't change it for the world - the birth of my baby son 5 weeks ago. Even with the best will in the world I thought it was pushing it taking a 5 week old!! I'll be glued to the net and TV over the coming days and back in 2013 with him!

  3. As a Glastonbury devotee who went to Reading for the first time in 13 years, I just wanted to add my bit:

    Overall I had a top weekend; how can one really criticise sitting in a field drinking and watching some wicked live music.

    HOWEVER, Reading is NOT comparable to Glasto - never was never will be. Can't say I won't go back (as I've said about V), but there is no doubt that it has some big negatives: Far too many idiotic kids running around offering 'free hugs', 'high fives', writing all over them (what is that about?!) and that's before I even get onto the more serious stuff.

    My big tip though for anyone who wants a bit of normality is to camp in white campsite - brilliant! None of the negatives (well a long walk, but used to that from Glasto) and lots of positives (including showers - I had my first EVER shower at a festival - bliss!).

    Anyway my final comment is that I hope that all these kids stay at Reading and Leeds each year and don't discover Glastonbury (apart from the nice ones, which to be fair there will be many) :rolleyes:

  4. Can I give you a tip ladies and gents for removing anything sticky, Car park stickers, labels on the bottoms of shoes whatever, where there is adhesive and paper involved there are two proiducts very good at helping remove them.

    1. [1]Furniture Polish

      [2]Baby Lotion

    Don't ask me why, but they do. I have never had to remove the Car park sticker so can't say which will work best but please let me know if it works.

  5. Definitely Kasabian - looking forward to them more than anyone. However, am disapointed about the clash. Saw Florence & the Machine on the NME tour earlier this year and they were fantastic. Florence came on stage with White Lies and sang with them; rather showed up the lead singer for White Lies in fact!

    Anyway, getting a second chance at seeing Florence at Reading! :)

  6. Yes! Two reasons:

    #1 Thought weather forecast in 2005 didn't warrant wellies; didn't account for the storm of biblical proportions on Thursday night. Had to then queue and pay a fortune for wellies.

    #2 Might be really sunny 90% of the time, but then even a small amount of rain can turn the site into a squelchy mess!

  7. Enduring all the rain and mud of 2007 and remaining remarkably upbeat about it all until getting hit by a mud covered beach ball Sunday evening while walking past the Other Stage and getting covered in mud; lost all my sense of humour at that point!! :unsure:
