  1. Nice one! Did it just pop up on the site?
  2. Has this been flagged yet? On main site. https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/2024-ticket-balance-payments-due-1st-7th-april/
  3. Oh no, I was hoping it was just me and others could point me towards some good stuff 😕 It's beige AF right? Having said that, Fat Dog are giving me NiN vibes which is no bad thing.
  4. Thanks, and fair question! It's just so I can camp with my sister (and hopefully work same shifts) as she also got a place with Avalon. Several of us tried for Oxfam but I was the only one who got a spot - both their 'general' batches went in nanoseconds. Hoping we get kind shifts but fairly relaxed about it. We've both been thinking of volunteering for a while - nice to have the guaranteed camping spot, food and showers! From the sounds of it we may have a trek across site with our stuff though...
  5. Been offered an Avalon place from waitlist - accepted and deposit paid, will be pulling pints with my sister! 🥳🍻🍹 Means one more Oxfam spot is definitely going back - good luck to those of you still on the hunt 🤞
  6. Indeed. Woodsies headliner would be amazing but after Other headliner too much of a step down presumably.
  7. Not down the front it won't be! Party tiiiiiiime 🥳
  8. Definitely top five. Legendary.

    Brixton Crush

    100% agree - start with soft launch, test out new safety measures and staff with reduced crowds / pressure. Great news for us south London-dwelling music lovers, hope all goes smoothly 🤞
  10. Agrees in Sigur Ros, M83 and LCD 🥳 2016 was one of my best ever, despite the rain!
  11. Yep same, tried multiple times but it says my details don't stack up. I don't have any dodge credit history or anything. Tedious!

    Press pass

    It can be a... lot. Luckily for me my deadlines were post-fest so I was able to make notes (sober when required) but still delve into the festival proper. I also leave the sprogs at home with my other half otherwise it would be not be remotely an option!

    Press pass

    I'm not 100% sure if it was the 'hospitality ticket exchange' but I was directed to a portacabin within the Pyramid compound ('stage left' side) after I had done my usual ticket / wristband thing at gate A. Wasn't at all obvious - eventually I just walked up to a security guard at a gap in the fence and they let me through when I said what I was looking for!

    Press pass

    Yes - with accreditation letter, ID etc - including my ticket! Which I did not realise/ wasn't on the email and I had left at my tent on the other side of the site. They eventually took pity on me after some pleading - it was a hot day 🤣

    Press pass

    I got a press upgrade last yr - it was an add-on to already purchased ticket. Includes hospitality camping, access to certain bars across site and the best/most useful part, being able to use the interstage cut-through between Other and Pyramid stages. There's a press tent there where you can charge your laptop/ phone etc if you're working onsite. I didn't use the camping (went in gen pop with my mates) and only popped into the bars for an occasional loo trip. The interstage short cut was great for avoiding crowds (esp. for Elton) but I didn't hang around inside, too much fun stuff elsewhere. As others have said, BBC etc get full ticket/passes but us smaller fry need to get lucky on T-day and then request the upgrade. NB - my colleague had a photo pass as well (allowing him into pit for certain acts, not all) which was an additional upgrade to his regular ticket.
  16. My sister got a spot, she's so happy! Loads of pub management experience which I presume helped (or was it a straight ballot)?? Would have liked to join her but I got an Oxfam place so can't complain. Chuffed we will both be back on the farm in a few months 🥳
  17. Gomez Young Fathers Bob Vylan Wide Awake Chromeo Guilfest (maybe) Glasto The National* Bloc Party* Latitude Rock en Seine (Sunday) *Will probably skip these if I see them at the farm. Most booked, some on wishlist. Tempted by AC/DC & Kylie but put off by the cost.
  18. Best of You = the worst of Foo. Hideous dirge, made worse by being so inexplicably popular. I also have a strong aversion to Dancing Queen despite otherwise liking Abba 🤷‍♀️
  19. This made me snort. Thanks!
  20. Arghhh can't believe I refreshed out of it for my sis
  21. This was my plan but I accidentally refreshed the page - all gone the proceed button 😭
  22. Saw some other festivals briefly appear but went almost immediately - guess they were duplicates being put back in. In which case that's probably it for today, right?
