  1. Hey! I don't see an answer to his second question..

    While booking Worthy View it only takes details of the booker. Rest of the people sleeping in the tent must just have the barcode and can be scanned in. Barcode works as many times there are sleeping spots in the tent. This information is from the e-mail I received from Worthy View in 2019.

    In current case, the person who booked WV must cancel her ticket, but people who she promised to camp with are still planning to attend. Lets say she just cancels her festival ticket but not WV, will the WV booking remain and others can use the barcode? 

  2. I’d actually love to see Bieber. The thing is, I do understand the bias against him here but he has grown much older, and with him so have I. He does not appeal to teenage girls only anymore and you can tell it by his newer music. It’s quality pop. 

  3. The more opinions the better.

    As someone who has been a VIP guest I'd agree that the extra money is not worth it, especially if you're on a budget. The fact that I had CLEAN toilets with no queues next to the main stage was amazing (i have a higher need to poop while drinking beer), but other than that rest of the benefits were not that impressive. As I'm staying in Splash (old VIP) camping anyway, I have opted out of VIP tickets this year as toilets over there are OK as well and this specific camping is actually very close to the main stage. The fact that this year they've added premium toilets to more areas than just main stage is a bit tempting, but naaah, I'll survive.

    Camping on-site vs. city is pretty simple;

    - if you're there just for the line-up, stay in the city.

    - if you're there for the festival and the experience that comes with it, camp at the festival. You'll be missing out if you need to travel to the festival every god damn day. There's so much more going on during times that are not part of the schedule. The atmosphere is amazing and it becomes a city on its own. + the fact that you don't have to carry a bag and back-up clothes with you the whole day is a comfort that's important for me. Hell, I can go and have a quick shower between bands if I'm at the island.

    I understand, I also took the Apero camping extra for 100€ and got 1 day less... but I can not honestly ask for more, I really think the 100€ gift card is a great compensation. We should not forget that those 2 years without festivals is pretty hard for them, so I will not complain.

    Of course, if you also took an expensive tent or else, I understand your frustration but... as I just said, times have been hard for everyone... 😕

    I know,  I really want to be  the  guy who does not ask for more and absolutely supports the festival, there is a reason I have not asked for refund. I'll live with the fact if I wont get anything, I absolutely love the festival as it would be my 7th time to visit already, but I need my 3 posts of complaining to feel a bit better. 😄 My frustration comes from the fact that my camping option was 690€ which means almost a 100€ a day for a 7-days festival (130€ if you add splash camping on it, which I need as well) .🙂 So if I add 299€ + 690€ + 190€ for the three, it's 168€ / day that I've lost.

    Considering the e-mail, if we're really getting this 50€ + 50€, I suppose I'll be completely fine with 100€. Not sure how to get the second 50€ tho? I guess it's just supposed to show up on my account balance?

    I get it, and kinda agree. The 50€ gift card isn't anymore a "gift", but more of a compensation for the missing day(s) in 2022 I suppose... It feels "wrong" 😕

    The thing is, I'd accept it if the 50€ was for compensation, but considering I've bought expensive on-site sleeping option as well, I'd expect double the compensation.. Should be compensation per ticket bought not per account / person.

    Do I have to wait until 10 am for the Glastonbury channel to appear on iplayer or am I missing something? I can find all the sets and shows manually but looking at that lineup I assume there’s an actual channel somewhere?

    A pop-up channel should appear in iPlayer like last year, probably just before 10.

     

  7. I'm getting a bit frustrated that there's still no schedule of the pop-up iPlayer channel.. Wanted to plan my weekend around it but time is running out and looks like I'm just gonna do my own schedule.. which by the end of the day is a better idea anyway. 

  8. Oh well, I still have my tickets from 2020, including accomodation. Will probably decide to still keep it. I wonder how much the gift credit is. Will register and find out. A few free drinks at the site is always great!

    Edit: 50€ that I can use for future ticket purchase or onsite consumption. Great, will take that!

    It currently indicates that you are in 2nd place on the leader board. I take it that you are the IT person, and he / she is the festival freak?

    I gave it 3 goes for free, but will not be returning to have other goes. Don't be too disheartened though, as I hate computer games etc. In fact, I hate all types of games - including 'mind' ones. 

    However, I know that there would be an audience. 

    I hope it goes well for you.

    All the best.

     

    haha, thanks; i have just played it through to see if it works. As a creator of the game it should not even show me, as it's obviously unfair, but GG to the one who's first, that's impressive. 

  10. There's this pretty popular game called Geoguessr, which basically puts you somewhere in the world via Google Street View and you have to guess your location as precise as possible.

    Me as a total festival junkie could of course not resist and made a custom map of different festivals around the world, which I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys here in eFestivals would enjoy as well.

    I've currently added 48 different festivals. There should be some locations which eFestivals users are very faimiliar with, but some are a bit trickier as well. Happy guessing!

    Well spotted, have update the Clashfinder.

    Florence's set is 90 mins, so that leaves another 90 mins for another "The Glastonbury Experience Live" on Saturday (it's 90 mins today?
    George's set was only 60 mins, so that leaves 3 hours on Sunday - have noted down as "The Glastonbury Experience Live" at the moment.

    That’s exactly how long is the BBC Two special coverage on all of the days. + the acts following the coverage are the same in both, telly and iplayer channel. Makes only sense that they’re showing the same thing as bbc2 is. Or allowing us to watch it on telly without clashing with anything else.

    The BBC advert is now live - love what they have done with all the photos to make a planning shot. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08g1ppj

    As someone who’s not from UK and always misses out cause of geoblocks... all of the newer vids seem to be available to me, but not the older ones. I wonder if i’ll be able to see some of the content during the glasto weekend... 

    (I meant legally.. otherwise a VPN will be my saviour anyway) 

  13. Picked this up from the Pukkelpop thread, from a guy who has proved to have a lot of insight of European fests. Taylor starting to look unlikely.

    I think most of the line ups will be back in 2021, 60/70%. The others we can expect the following years (Taylor Swift would not be back in 2021, something that I’ve heard, but she will be in 22/23, something with a new album by then).

    The contracts are still counting, the fans who had a ticket for this year will be there too next year most of the time...

  14. Now that Glasto is canceled Sziget is going to be my only festival this summer, if it goes ahead. The best case scenario is that the crisis is over by then and they are able to steal some better acts from canceled festivals that took place during the beginning of summer. I know it's all very unlikely, but damn.

  15. I don't know.. the more days pass by without any new information.. the more I'm convinced Eminem is now out of the picture. He might have been booked at one point.. but I'm not sure if he still is. I asked my friend who works for Live Nation and while he clearly can't and will not say much to me, it was clear that Eminem and touring in general has been a sketchy thing from the beginning, with things changing all the time. The virus thing does not help as well, making things sketchier.
