I remember when Rag N Bone man got a huge crowd.

Yeah I get all that, my point was nobody will be throwing anything off them in the bin: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=fred+again+football&_trksid=p4432023.m4084.l1313

Were they not ultra limited edition, sold out within minutes, cost £80 and don’t even ship until September, as of that sale there were only a handful in existence that his crew and a couple of fans had, what bit will people be throwing in the bin?

The only people moaning about it are a few jobsworths on here. Of course the logical thing that do when you come back from the best place on earth is think, right, what can I get banned?

Efests doing themselves proud again, the flags are part of Glastonbury, absolutely telling that so many of you fun sponges want them banned, shameful stuff.

Surely one of the worst for someone with accessibility issues.

In terms of tiered pricing, you could have a sale that is a bit like the coach sale, so on main ticket sale day you have a number of prices you can first select from the booking screen. Have the bulk at say £250, then have limited numbers at tiers from say £1500/£1000/£500 or whatever. Despite the smaller numbers, if you went straight for the £1500 option you’d probably have a much better chance of securing a ticket. Not something I’d ever want to see happen though, just an idea about how it could work and how it could help to keep the bulk of the tickets cheaper.

It’s getting incrementally harder, and will be harder still if they keep the same system from the resale, so past performance isn’t necessarily going to be a guide to future performance for you (people who have been every year are going to find that harder and harder to maintain). Aside from that it’s not rocket science and there is no secret method, be organised, have as many people trying for you as possible, try in as many sales as possible, if all that fails volunteer. It’s just a numbers game, no more, no less.

Could see a ‘less big’ 1-2 again of someone like Duran Duran in the Blondie role and then a well regarded older solo act that will get a shrug from Joe bloggs.

Sorry pal, this is the how much would you pay for Glastonbury thread. Try the Coachella board for this. But in case you’re wondering how much I’d pay for a Coachella ticket, it starts with a 0 and ends in a 0.

£350 is good value, £400 is good value and difference if it went to that this year or next isn’t even the cost of a night out down the pub (and an amount you easily save by being able to bring your own booze) yet some people say they wouldn’t pay it. Realistically compared to everything else available they should probably be at least £500 now, if not more. I’d probably pay £700 now and think it was still cheap, but thankfully it’s currently a bargain and barring a disaster looks set to remain one for the foreseeable.

So presumably more worthy view type accommodation, that isn’t really glamping though it’s just pre erected tents? They presumably aren’t going to have a situation where people have no place to put a tent though? Has that ever happened and are they ever likely to let that happen? They'll know the demand for things like Worthy View, and they’ll know how much take up there is likely to be and obviously anyone buying one of these pre-erected tents is one less person camping anyway. The Worthy View stuff is probably a more efficient use of space the way it’s laid out as well, compared to people taking huge 8 man tents for less people and putting gazebos on the middle (I appreciate not everyone does that) So it won’t be very hard to judge that what is being taken away is effectively being offset by this.

Tipi field has been there for yonks, and adds to the iconography of the place, at the price they sell at them it helps to subsidise GA tickets anyway. Worthy View and Stiklinch are offsite, they aren’t really even glamping anyway but again they help subsidise the GA ticket cost. All other Glamping like Love Fields, Pop up Hotel, Windinglake, Camp Kerala are offsite privately run enterprises. Some of these get access to hospitality tickets to sell on to rich punters to keep them sweet (which helps everyone) but again this has no impact on space within the actual festival, and neither does the hospitality ticket allocation as that exists as it’s own entity regardless. if the festival added 2000 glamping spaces inside the fence, then yes that would ever so slightly diminish public camping, but other than you cooking that up as a scenario, I don’t see anywhere where it’s suggested or stated that will happen?

You’ve lost me. What pre-erected camping/glamping options are inside the super fence exactly? And the capacity of Glastonbury is currently fixed, so I don’t understand why you’re talking about adding venues?

What have offsite camping/glamping sites (I.e. stuff outside the fence, on private land that has nothing to do with the festival) got to do with any of that?
