  1. You can't get into Glastonbury without an admission ticket. Even if a friend took you in their campervan you'd just be left sitting in the campervan park outside the perimeter of the festival. Concerned though about whether Glastonbury is for you with all your "ailments". Glasto is huge. Expect to walk up to 10 miles a day. And you will be queuing lots and lots for shared toilets in basic sanitary conditions, e.g. a bench with a hole into a communal cesspit
  2. All tickets for Glastonbury 2023 have been sold. If Glastonbury Festival is held in 2024 tickets for that event will probably go on sale in the first week of October 2023. This is what you're calling the first tranche. In order to participate in the ticket buying process you first need to register as advised above. Only persons registered can buy a ticket and every person you buy for will also need to be registered. The registration process involves providing a passport style photograph. Any ticket returned from the October 2023 sale will be resold in 2024 (usually April). Your termed second tranche. Finally, sales last minutes before the event is sold out.
  3. You missed it all and tickets all are sold out. If you want tickets in the future read the info on the official Glasto website concerning the ticket buying process.

    Resale Club 2023

    Not only have they not happened since 2016 but when they did you had to be extremely well prepared to catch it and even more extremely lucky to get a ticket. Previous secret resales popped up at random in May on a weekday morning/afternoon (ie during normal working hrs) lasted ca. 120 seconds

    The new system is better but it still isn't a fair system. A fair system would not allow people who don't want tickets to get tickets on behalf of others who do. The new system encourages more traffic and makes it even harder to obtain tickets. If applied to the next general sale the 1,000,000 who actually want 1 of the 135,000 tickets could be fighting to get booking site access against another 1, 2 or 3 million people who are trying to get tickets on behalf of others.

    In my previous experience on these forums it usually takes much longer than 24hrs before the "oh shit, what have we done" penny drops

    The new system which lets people try for others without the need for immediate payment is a negative for me. It causes greater traffic and reduces individual chances.
  10. Arriving Wednesday 1pm last time we drove straight into the west car parking. We then had a walk of 25mins to Gate A where we queued for approx an hour to get in. It was no problem for us arriving at this time as others set up our tents as the gates were opening. Bit of an inside job as friends were already on site as volunteers 😀 For those arriving Wednesday afternoon onwards the western fields offer space. The east side around the Pyramid fills quickly as does the fields near The Other stage, Park and John Peel

    Carry on Camping

    Have a look at Tort's guide. It gives all the answers: https://www.glastoearth.com/?m=1 In general your Glasto experience begins with how and when you plan to arrive. This is the overriding factor in determining where you can camp. Popular sites near the Pyramid & Other Stage etc will fill very quickly. And people will begin queuing Tuesday evening for the gates opening at 8am Wednesday
  12. Queues will start forming at the gates on Tuesday evening and swell through the night, so by the time the gates open those just joining the queue may have a wait of 2hr+ to get in. Obviously popular camping fields fill quickest so any arrival plans start with when can we arrive and where would be like to camp.

    The summer solstice in 2019 was Friday the 21st making 26 - 30 2019 the first weekend after the solstice (Friday 28th being the first Friday after the solstice)

    2024 dates

    The summer solstice in 2024 is Thursday 20th June so the first Friday after is the 21st
  15. The only time we ventured to the pub in Pilton on the Tuesday night it was anything but restful. It was heaving, standing room only and took ages to get served. We weren't able to get food and headed off back after a just 1 jar! Not something I'd personally repeat.
  16. Entry level as in you don't want to go thinner

    The 2024 summer solstice is Thursday 20 June so GF will probably be 19 - 23 June...........10 weeks after 8 April
  19. Since festival goers need an accommodation booking to enter WV and get their wristbands etc, in theory it's not possible for your friends to enter via the WV gate. Its also very difficult to get to the other pedestrian access gates ( PGD nearest) from the WV car park.
  20. It's far more than a 15min walk around the parimeter and there are areas with no public access which require lengthy detour. I'd enter through the coach queue at gate A and cut across the site. Probably work out much quicker.
  21. This is one of the trolleys/trucks that people have had issues taking in the past. It comes down to the space available in the luggage compartment and how tight the driver's pants are! Some people have had to ditch them at the pick up whilst others (me 😃) have had no problems. My advice is to strap everything you can onto the truck so your gear comes as one to minimise its footprint and get to the front for loading. However if space runs out the driver can and will refuse to carry non-essential items such as trucks/trolleys, chairs and packs of ale 😫 etc
  22. You can update your address on your registration at anytime via this link on the GF website https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/registration/lookup

    Headliners 2023

    Wonder how the younger element feel about having 3 old bands/artists as pyramid headliners?
  24. When you're thirsty one gulp doesn't touch the sides 😇
