I've seen a couple of people mention on here that they paid (or people they know did) bots to get them tickets...also someone posted a link to a bot script who said they had been using it for the 2019 and 2020 (cancelled) festivals.
I posted that my mate claimed he got his resale tickets via a bot, I spoke to him last night and he said he was initially told it was a bot, but in fact it was F5 F5 F5 by multiple people.

In 2010 I saw Orbital on The Other Stage when most of the festival were watching Stevie Wonder at the Pyramid, my mate was having a mushroom poo and we went down the left of the stage as it was starting we were in the first few rows I am actually on the BBC coverage, if you know where to look, still in my top three gigs of all time 🙂
Huge fan of Rudimental gutted to be missing them tbh 😞

If you're interested, there's a few videos of his O2 performance last week in my Facebook post, which I've temporarily made public.
Thanks for that if they was any doubt I was going to be there on the Sunday it has gone now 🙂

Well, if you don't ask, you don't get. I once responded to an efesters plea for 1 litre of gin to be brought to him.
Thanks for that 🙂
But you forgot the lemon

It makes bots very viable unfortunately. Not having to run any payment details or authorisations makes it a bot farms dream
A mate of mine claims to have got a ticket this way he paid someone / group who ran bots.

I've got a good one (IMO) to have a great night and avoid a hangover.
Problem is it's not the opinion of some folks on here.
Posted it before and had to have it deleted due to complaints, inc by PM.
So here are the acceptable bits: drink plenty of water, eat well and get some sleep.
But seriously, don't stress about the practicalities, just show up, relax and enjoy. It's all very comfortable and safe these days. Everything you need is there.
I really want to see the original now 🙂

did you drive south of the festival to get in? or go up north do you know?
We were staying in Worthy View so it was just through Wraxall and across the A37 and straight into Worthy View.
You would have to left (south) on the A37 and round the site on the southern side to reach Sticklinch.

The Sticklinch car park may well be open Tuesday night like the Worthy View one is, that said I usually stay here and I am doing so this year:
It is more south then west of site although very close great food and breakfast and there seems to be room at the Inn 🙂

So when it's dry how do you get to it?
I use the compressor and air jacks in reverse. The whole thing lowers down in stages. What you see in the second photo is the cabin fully extended on 4 telescopic legs. These legs each have 4 vertical holes in them, which are pinned with metal bolts. When the river does recede I'll lower the legs down using the bolt holes as stages to lower it. Then when the legs are fully down it rests on concrete block foundations.
What you can't see in the photo is that that there are submerged steps which lead up to the doors. The cabin was initially at ground level - hence the severe flooding. It now rests normally above ground level anyway, with the option of using the jacks to raise it up another 1 metre.
Wow that is very impressive, my comment was sort of tongue in cheek little did I realise that you genuinely wouldn't be able to get into it with it jacked up.
Well done sir 🙂

I had extensive works carried out on our cabin at the rear of our garden in an attempt to prevent it from being flooded by the River Severn several times a year, when it bursts its banks. The first photo shows you what used to happen - the rear end would rise up off its foundations, causing structural strain on the whole cabin. Plus the inside of the cabin decorations etc would get ruined. Plus we'd have to move all the furniture etc out of the cabin before the flood hiot it - a right pain in the arse. You can see the water level halfway up the front doors in the first photo.
The second photo shows it as it is now - with the river having reached a very high figure above sea level. It's achieved having put a steel ring beam under the cabin as well as telescopic legs, and then jacking it up using compressed air jacks and a generator.
Very pleased with the result.
So when it's dry how do you get to it?

I have stayed here for the previous two festivals on the Tuesday before the festival very close to the festival and great food as well, just checked they currently have availability fort the Monday after the festival 🙂

Ah, fair enough. Those WV bell tents are billed as up to 4 man though, aren’t they? When you are only planning on 2 people being in one it does work out price wise.
That's a very good point as paying for extra two people at Love Fields would be another £500 ouch
Glad I am not bring the

Genuinely curious how you work this out? There are 5 people in our group and I can’t see how Love Fields isn’t several hundred pounds more than a 6 or even 8 man tent in WV.
If you compare pre-erected Bell Tents at Worthy View and Love Fields yes Love Fields is more expensive, cant actually do the comparison between with "Worthy Bells" a 4 meter sort of Bell Tent and an actual 4 meter Bell Tent at Love Fields as they have sold out of 4m Bell Tents on Love Fields and they have taken the price down.
However comparing a 6 x 6 meter PYO pitch at Love Fields in which I can get my 5 meter Bell Tent and a 4 meter Worthy Bell:
Worthy View Worthy Bell (2022) £700 (This price will no doubt rise for 2023)
Pitch your own at Love Fields 6 x 6 meter (2023) also includes car park ticket £750
You do have to pitch your own tent as the name implies at Love Fields but not such a big deal when parked in the same field as your tent 🙂

We've decided to avoid the stress of the accomodation sale and have booked Love Fields.
It just seems to have a better location than Sticklinch, which wasn't a bad walk by any means, but was a little out of the way. I like the idea of being smack bang next to Gate C, walking through it and being straight in the action. The field seems to be closer to the gate than most of the official campervan pitches!!!
It's around the same price as Sticklinch for our group, but we need to pitch our own tents. Not a problem, because we can drive right up to the pitch to unload. And I think I'll prefer my own tent to the pre erected ones, especially as we can take our bigger setup with 2 connected pitches at 6m x 6m each to work with.
I also liked the fact it has it's own late bar, communal fire pits, and under cover seating, Sticklinch didn't, as well as charging facilities, which again, Sticklinch didn't have.21 hours ago, wiremog said:See ya there!
We will see you both there lol
I have been to every Glastonbury since 2007 and camped in Worthy View every year 2013.
Only found out about Love Fields from reading this thread and for the same money as Worthy View we are closer to action avoiding that hill and parking in the same field as our tent.
You do have to take your own tent but I have a 5 meter Bell Tent anyway which goes up it under 10 minutes and is fair better than those sweat nylon "Worthy Bells" in Worthy View.
Bit of a struggle to find all the money now, but just managed it phew.

You don't use tyre levers to get the tyre off this type of wheel, just undo the four bolts on the wheel hub and the wheel splits in half, actually much easier than tyre levers to be honest.

I don't think it's happened before. I was thinking the Woodland bar might be nice - that's where I was picturing it in my head. Or the pub near the fairground? I dunno what do others think?
I think it has happened before and it was in The Woodland I would be up for that I am usually there anyway on the Thursday afternoon / evening.

If you have to carry a bag carry one of these 🙂

I am looking for some Lavish Lands camping tickets for this, I haven't bought general admission tickets yet so I could buy them all if someone couldn't attend.
Thanks 🙂

I have been to every Glastonbury since 2007 and have only ever been searched once and that was in 2013.
It was Friday afternoon we had dropped some 2cb, it didn't seem to be working so we dropped some more then suddenly and somewhat unsurprisingly everything starts working, where is a Flaming Lips set when you need one 😉
Anyway one of the three of us was feeling a bit feary, he wanted a toilet but a "proper" toilet like with walls where you can feel secure, so we thought it best to head back to Worthy View there and no problems on the way out of the site. However on the way back in I was clearly away with the fairies luckily and had moved all my stash inside my special pants. I was searched very very thoroughly on the way back in and to the letter of the law all my pockets emptied wallet taken apart etc., absolutely everything, but as mentioned above I know where they can and cant look and I was having a great time of course they were obliged to wave me back in, they were gutted lol.
Moral of the story: "I never forget your special pants"

On the Saturday of 2014 a mate of ours got separated from the rest of us in the late-afternoon, we tried calling him several times, just went straight to voicemail and got nothing so just assumed he'd gone back to his campervan for a rest/reload/whatever, wasn't until it until it was time for Metallica that he was supposed to be watching with us that we started to worry a little and after their headline set his girlfriend went straight back to their campervan and texted me to say he had re-appeared and all was fine.
The following day he explained that he'd forgotten to charge his phone on the Friday night when he got back wasted, then on Saturday PM had wandered off from us to get some food, we had moved by the time he had got back and when he went to call me, suddenly realised he had no battery or his charger pack with him, so thought he would just stick it out until Metallica was done, go back to his CV and get some juice to meet us for SEC antics, but when he found his annoyed gf there just went to bed.
His main gripe the next day was that he tried several times during Manic Street Preachers and Pixies (whilst also looking for us) to strike up conversation with people around him, offer them a bit of his spliff etc but most people didn't seem interested or just maybe gave the odd answer and then just stuck to their group, he felt like he was looked upon as some sort of weirdo for trying to talk to strangers. Said it put a bit of a downer on his night and would never make the mistake of getting split apart from friends again, he's been doing festivals long enough to know what he's talking about and I felt a bit bad for him that people weren't more receptive to someone just trying to have a chat.
Perhaps he just got a few wrong groups and was a bit unlucky, but I also think that these days people are more inclined to stick with their own crowd as a result of mobile phones becoming easy to use on site now and not have to talk to people they don't know in a crowd, because its rare for people to get split up and not manage to find each other anymore.
This saddens me yet I understand it.
I am not shy at all and yet when found myself on own have had have bad experiences chatting to randoms, although not always.
What I enjoy at festivals is adopting a lost soul maybe someone maybe similar to your friend, then it is my duty to give them the really good time giving them all drink and drugs that they can handle, they usually track down their friends and leave gutting: "Why do they always leave me?"
I have been the adopted person a few times most notably at Rockness that was an amazing Mumford and Sons gig now there is a sentence I never thought I would type.

This is one of my top reasons why working Glasto is better. Ok, not next to car but within 5 mins walk!
This is why a camp at Worthy View at Glastonbury car parked in the next field 🙂

I went to our local festival this weekend - Farmer Phil's. What a wonderful little festival (as always). Loads of little known but talented bands, some larger but still talented bands, (but one crap band who I predict won't be invited back - they didn't go down well - if you want to know look at the line-up, guess and I don't think you will be wrong). Great company and cheapish real ale. Dancing in the fields with a beer in hand and seeing familiar faces was wonderful. And I am now completely knackered. Roll on next year - I absolutely love that festival - small but beautifully formed.
I was there for the first time over the weekend well actually from the Tuesday will defo be back next year.
Parking next to your tent is a game changer especially as I was there with 5 kids.
I thought Doctor and the Medics and a Ska Burst were the highlights musically, wood fired pizza's were also cool nom nom
I would love to know the band you thought were awful, T'Paul brought the crowd down most of who seemed to leave me included a shame as they followed the great high energy set from Ska Burst as I mentioned above.
Whats your absolute ESSENTIAL GADGET / NEW THING you'll be bringing?
