The issue with any tech solution is that if it goes wrong, it can go wrong big time for everyone all at same time. With physical paper and wristbands you can do manual workarounds (for example double wristbanding in 2005 floods) or telling punters whose tickets were misdelivered to pick up a tixket at gate A. Also you are open to unexpected attacks.... so if I knew there was an Ethernet cable I could cut or a generator I could turn off, I might do so in the hope that everyone would be waved in. Simple physical solutions are often the best ones.

Right by your van! You can create your own shower quite easily. 10 litre container with a kettle of boiling water is enough for a warm 4min shower using a Whale immersion pump, 12v battery, outdoor changing tent and an old shower head...

Last year we arrived on Thursday PM and unsurprisingly there was zero queue to get in! My question is is.... When does the traffic/queue going into CVE subside? Are there queues all of Tuesday PM? When does it quieten down on Wed?

We stumbled into this accidentally last year, several beers deep
I think it was Pauls mobile disco (if there's two of them) but it was a brilliant hour or so of just really feel good crowd and music, absolutely loved it
A thumbs up for Paul's Mobile Disco (we saw him at Bimble Bandada last year and he was very entertaining)

A friend used a wheelbarrow to transport his kids (one of the muddy years). Worked quite well!

Last year we had Thursday coach so I left my Campervan near Bath and West and then drove into CVE on a friend's CV ticket. The last vans end up in East 14 which is not too far.

I am thinking of using a garden trolley like this because it has clearance for mud and wide wheels and a flat bottom so a 1yr old can lie flat and sleep.... do you think it will work? I would make a canopy for shade/rain protection....It seems to me that if the terrain is bad I would rather be pulling than pushing...

As a new grandfather I have been tasked with constructing/modifying a suitable vehicle to transport a 1 year old (in June) around Glasto.
Any tips from the 2022 "lockdown baby" contingent?
What works, what doesn't work?

There's a great little festival at a "secret location" in the midlands.
It's vibe is much better than Glastonbury, but it's likely sold out already.
Not sold out yet....

Some of us got Glasto tix but a bigger group are going to Shambala

It's a bit like being a new parent. You get loads of good advice, ignore it and eventually learn from your mistakes!
We have a rendezvous point and a general agreement to meet up there at a given time (Bimble at 7). Otherwise never have to be anywhere at any specific time - just leads to stress.
Take a big battery pack - nothing more tragic than sitting in the EE tent charging your phone.
Don't be a passenger. Participate. Make someone else's festival memorable!
Get dressed up - buy some outfit from Oxfam on the Wednesday.

Anyone going to Bimble Bandada this weekend?

Is the system different this year? You used to have just an entry ticket with photo, general wristband (and then exit pass). What is the Campervan wristband?
-
If the other options don't work then you could get the free shuttle from Gate A to Bath and West and walk in from there (assuming you are not loaded with kit)

We want queue porn!

As above, Bath & West Showground is the correct place, and probably the easiest.
And there is a shuttle from Bath and West to Gate A

Go the coach and explain the situation, hopefully they'll give you your ticket/give it to your partner at the fest/leave it at ticket office on site.
Maybe make plans for 1 of you to get the coach with a kid, and other 2 find alternative route to the fest.
Hopefully the coach has 2 spare seats!
I'd be suprised if the situation didnt resolve itself
If you have the other person's passport then unless you have a dickhead driver, they will give you the second ticket. Their concerns are 1) not giving out the wrong tickets 2) having to take unclaimed tickets to the ticket office at Gate A 3) getting home asap

How does Glamping compare to renting a motorhome for the Glasto week? I suspect it is cheaper!
Arriving late to campervan fields?

I arrived on Thursday afternoon last year. No queue and ended up in E14. There were only a couple rows filled up after us and there was plenty of space free. Left on Monday afternoon and again no queue.
