After missing out for the first time since I started going in 2007, I’m still unsure if I can face the thought of the resale. While I have had success in getting resale tickets for friends a couple of times, last years being over and done with in a couple of minutes gives me nightmares so I may have to look for other ways of getting there. Happy to help others out though on the off chance as someone has to get them after all.

So much better than 2022. On Wednesday we left the camper around 11:15 and wandered down to the gate . The queue started about halfway down the barrier loop in the field with the hill of death, though was constantly moving so only took a couple of minutes to walk through to get down to the road and we were in the Avalon bar just before midday. In 2022 we left the camper at roughly the same time and the queue was back to half way through E19 and it took us an hour to get to the gate. I think the longest we had to wait was roughly 5-10 minutes on Sunday as we were heading in about midday. All other times the wait was no longer than about 5 mins, though most of the times we just walked through, only stopping at the ticket checks. The volunteers and security did a fantastic job in getting people in and out every day, the whole thing seemed so much more organised this year.

Ensembles wise, there seems to be broad consensus with the GFS 06z up until Thursday next week, then there's significant divergence with the pressure. Does the high take over as it was looking like in the earlier runs, or is the Atlantic low coming in stronger? The operational run pretty much follows the average of the runs throughout the festival period so isn't an outlier as we've had with some of the previous runs

This year Last year (21st June) 2017 (20th June) The spider is definitely further right this year and they've move the bar right to the back where a lot of the Arcadia crew seemed to camp last year. I assume all the people camping in the spot the bar is this year will camp in the empty triangle? I'd keep an eye on the webcam to see if the current triangle bit fills up in next few days.

the latest ECM 06z only runs for 6 days (the 00z and 12z run for longer, the 06z and 18z only cover 6 days)but here it is: There is a chance of some torrential downpours and there will definitely be some rain pre-festival, though the vast majority of the runs show tiny amounts

06z Operational run is once again an outlier in regards low pressure rain wise there is still a chance of thunderstorms coming through with the very big spikes, though the majority of runs are showing much lower Temperature wise it's also on the very low end

Last years This years looks to be a different shape and slightly smaller I think

Currently up to Sunday midday and the operational is way out compared to the rest

The Ops run is a massive outlier for rain on the Monday with 45.1mm vs the next highest at 12.7mm, 18 of the runs show no rain at all so it is all still to play for
