So the dj goes on well past 12 then ? as its advertised from 11-12 I think ..... struggling to find a driver currently which might mean I have to drive
and then we have a ticket spare
Nay, all done by midnight... re. transport, camp down t'road.... cheap as chips but bring torches as walk back is a bit sketchy traffic wise.

In queue at 10, out 11:15, sorted!?

On the flip side... I was blissfully enjoying myself at a festival, I was a little tipsy and dancing away but as I'm fairly old and not exactly skinny it's more of a butt shake interspersed with a bit of pogoing, on looking behind me a guy said rather grumpily that I was pushing him back and gave me a filthy look, I was mortified, stepped aside and stuck me hands in my pockets.
Killed it.
With the benefit of hindsight I wish I'd ignored him and carried on, the crowd wasn't dense (I'd purposely sought a hole in the crowd) and matey could have stood still and held his pint somewhere else.
So, all I'm saying is before you rip someone from their happy place just consider whether you really have to.

Follow a straight line from stage to tower, pier emerging from tree line, it's easier to see with better/daylight.

Aye, to the left of the park.

If the weather's nice, bring some bino's and head up the Tor.?

I do get the issue with not being able to get a refund after the first weekend of May; seven weeks out from the festival it’s still possible that something could crop up that would prevent you from going, and as someone has said the protection insurance is quite limiting about what they will accept. They should just allow refunds right up until a week before gates open - condition of refund is that you have to post your tickets back by recorded post (so you can’t claim a refund and try and use them) and you lose your delivery/admin fee.
And then on the Sunday before the fest they should have a final resale. IMAGINE the joy of getting tickets right at the last minute...
Aye, just imagine something bad happening so you can't go to Glasto plus you lose your ticket money... Gutted!
Allow returns but maybe increase the admin charge i.e. last week lose £50/ticket.

First 95, messy, confusing, scary, 'kin brilliant... Free! PULP!
Best 99, just awesome in every way, also... Free! too much!
Worst 98, flooded, robbed... not free!

I used to love the late night stall parties, I remember being told that stalls had to shut at midnight but they could continue if they were a venue, cue loads of market stalls kicking all sorts right through the night, you could literally bounce from one party to the next until the sun came up... awesome!
Does anyone remember the Kodak soundstage in 2000? it kicked off 24/7 from Wednesday (or might have been Tuesday as we went in on Monday, hazy), I remember some geezer on the mic asking everyone to buy a disposable camera as he'd blagged Kodak to sponsor the stage for the weekend, it had a little camera stall below the elevated DJ booth and it was awesome; just around the corner from the R1 pyramid thing which was also pretty cool!

I tried and retried on mobile and laptop so did my friend and hit the booking page each time on different browsers straight off so not sure how anyone could have missed them if they wanted them ... maybe I was just exceptionally lucky
Maybe, not luck for me though... if I was lucky I would have a blimmin' ticket!

I had no trouble getting on the local ticket page on the sat ... it was the only page I got on during the whole ticket process ... so maybe wasn't so hard for locals if they wanted them ?
We no longer fall into the catchment area (we used to but the boundary has changed), but out of interest we leisurely checked the sale on Saturday morning and got straight through to the booking page.
