Guaranteed tickets? You really are going to have to work there (it's not as bad as it sounds) My last paying year was 2008 and it was so much hassle getting tickets I said never again !

Totally agree with you about Badly drawn boy - when he said "I really miss you Simon" I was choking up big time !

Who should call it a day? - the list was very long but I've narrowed it down to 7 (a) The Arctic Monkeys - please stop headlining an event you never seem all that bothered about (b) Arcadia - job done - or at least move to a different area and release the land for camping (c) Jo Whiley (d) Glastonbury on sea - just another excuse to sell more merch (e) Shangri La - bring back Lost Vagueness all is forgiven (younger readers will have no idea what I'm talking about) (f) the person who thinks that 203,000+ is a suitable figure for a festival in a relatively limited area - capacity seems to be going up 10,000 per festival since the late 2010's. (g) The Leftfield stage - perhaps shake it up a bit and acknowledge that not everyone is on the left - having a bit of an alternative political view to balance things up may make for interesting viewing than a tent full of people who clap at everything - John Harris please note. Glastonbury: 93,94,95,98,00,02,03,04,05,07,08,09,10,11,13,14,15,16,17,19,22,23 (yet I still find people who have been more than me)! Fleadh: 93 Phoenix: 94,97 Reading: 92,01

Funnily enough if you google: "Glastonbury festival over crowded" there are links to a discussion held over a decade ago addressing this very issue ! What I am unclear about is that I thought the whole idea of a super fence in the aftermath of the overcrowding in the year 2000 was to drastically control numbers in order to avoid crowd fatalities as seen in the crushes in Hillsborough and at the Roskilde festival in Denmark. What in fact has happened is the fence has gone up.....and so have the numbers - up 25,000 from 2019 to 205,000.I'm sorry but the site is NOT designed for that amount of people - bearing in mind in 1992 (the site was slightly smaller) there was barely a third of that in attendance. I'm not sure what the answer is here - perhaps make the stages larger, move the other stage right over to Shangri-La far away from the pyramid stage, reduce numbers (unlikely as festival republic are here to make as much money as possible) and extend the main walkways so as to accommodate ever growing numbers.
