It is if there's no way to find out about it.
It's sold out this year but it only takes a couple of poor line ups for the buzz to die off a little and Glasto know they can't afford to put on festivals that don't sell out. They need to maintain the magic and that's what that statement did. No need to mention it otherwise.
Not everything has to be a conspiracy theory.

LCD and Idles have collabed recently so might do something together in one of their sets.

Stonebridge Bar would be a good crack, but how much you'd get to enjoy what's going on is debatable.
I've worked the Meeting Place bar, which is dead in the evening and the Backstage Bar which was more fun, but lots of w*nkers in there.
It's supposedly paid professional bar staff only who work back stage, but we were asked to stand in when they had no shows. The staff they had there didn't seem any more professional!

I've just been having a nose around the 2023 image. I was actually having a thought experiment on best route to use if I was going to attempt to go over the wall and I noticed the group of structures in the woods up by Strummerville/Worthy View off Cockmill Lane. Google maps calls them Kings Hill Housing Complex. Looks like some sort of commune, anyone know any more about it?
I was literally doing the same. Daydreaming about where I would stop to have a twix.

A few other long lost Shangri-La stages, these all from 2011:
I miss Club Dada, some great acts in there.
Me and a friend snuck behind a fence one night, managed to get on that bridge and got thrown off by the stewards (not literally).

Wasn't the first iteration of Truth/final iteration of Hell slightly tucked around a corner off the main Shangri-La highway? I'm sure it was. That was a great set-up, though I fear its capacity wouldn't be adequate now...
Ben
It used to be Heaven and Hell opposite each other didn't it? I think I remember Heaven was originally an indoor venue that usually had a bit of a queue and the following year it was outdoor.

Cutting off pylon ground from bus travellers is the stupidest decision I think they have ever made. Encourage people to travel by coach and then block off the largest accessible campsite is crazy. Still, loads of room for vip campers around John peel tent.
(yes, I didn’t get a ticket but last year was a piss take for coach arrivals on the Thursday.)
peace and love
It was a bit annoying how they cut off the path to Wicket Ground too, making families walk the long way round Woodsies.

Never seen a headliner on the glade, what time do they normally start? Looking at Fatboy for Saturday night.
'Headliner' usually starts a bit later than other stages, then the stage goes on until about 2am with djs and smaller bands.

There's always a bit of space just in front of the farmhouse at the top of Michael's Mead with a nice view of the Pyramid Stage. But it is very steep!

I think the broader point is that Israel embraces socially liberal principles that should be valued and respected and the millions of people who benefit from that (LGBTQ+ and women) would be at significant risk if Israel ceased to exist. The non- Jihadist amongst the world’s population should at least be fighting for them surely….?
Genocide is not really socially liberal.

I thought Embrace were playing then.
Lol me too. Thought this was about the band not being announced!

Re. being allocated a place in a queue - will that be less fair, as in people will utilise bots/vpns to have a million devices attempting to join a queue at the same time? (forgive my lack of technical speak/knowledge)
If seetickets could manage a single unique login based on a person's registration then this problem wouldn't arise.
It would need to handle 2.5 million simultaneous logins.

Shame. I knew the Mumford bloke was a bit of a twat but I don't like their music, so whatever.
I quite like 2 Door though so to find out he's a bit Qanon MAGA is disappointing.

After securing tickets this morning, we can start planning our trip.
First on the agenda, a new tent!
So recommendations please for a 4-man black out tent.
Will only be used once per year for a the festival.
What should we go for?
I have this. Best tent I've ever had.

We took our then 8/9 month old it was brilliant. We stayed off site but walking distance to site. The Kidz Field is brilliant and the NCT tent at the top with a relax area is great (they also do baby bath time) we had a bike trailer with a baby insert for ours - but it wasn't a muddy year (2017)
We watched Foo Fighters from the top of the field with her asleep on a blanket on the floor! Picnic blanket is a must. We had a great time! (and more sleep than usual as went back to tent usually 10ish and she slept much better in the tent that year than home too)
Oh, info on the baby insert please!
Considering getting a bike trailer but not sure on the space to lie a toddler down flat for sleeping.

Being wider than a standard soft drink bottle opening is not much of a boast!

You used to be able to get Lucozade in a wide neck 900ml bottle. Haven't been able to find the wide neck bottle for a couple of years though.

We did Glasto with an 8 month old baby.
It was much easier than the following year when he was a 20 month old baby, wanted to walk by himself and had opinions about whether we stayed in the Kids Field or not!

. There will be a four storey 'airport' constructed from the large mysterious cubes. The cubes were temporary mobile workshops from nuclear submarine bases.
Could this be related to the Arrivals stage in Shangri La?

As an alternative suggestion, you could possibly think about buying an electric drill drive pump eg. like below;
You would need to bring the pump, a cordless drill and 2 lengths of hosepipe. I only mention it because I suspect it would be a quicker operation that siphoning.
Make sure you save the mint for afterwards.

To an extent. It also rewards big groups trying together too. I dunno how you change that though.Maybe if there was a way of better preventing a machine or unique IP from getting back on the booking page it would be a bit more diverse than the large groups.
Or having a ticket buying login linked to your registration which prevents you from buying tickets once yours has been allocated.
Probably ways to game this too though.

Actually, there is one tweak I would make that might increase fairness; reduce the maximum number of tickets per transaction to 4.
At the moment, with 6 being allowed, that's potentially only 21600 or so transactions (130K tickets / 6). Changing to 4 would increase that to 32500 or so potential transactions, giving more opportunity for people to get into a booking form and snag tickets. I don't think it'd increase the number of people trying much as I'd expect most people who want a ticket are trying and if they get through will buy for their group.
It would surely increase the admin load and overhead for See and the festival though.

Could Arrivals be related to the airport looking stuff we've seen on the Site Changes thread?

Sitting around a clutch of those huge wax candles up at the stone circle is something that doesn't happen anymore. They could sometimes turn into a bonfire when someone random turns up with some wood.
Is this campsite a scam?

It actually looks quite tempting but put off by not being allowed to use a camping stove and cook at your own tent.
