See Tickets (or the coach drivers) won't give out tickets before the coach leaves, but they will return uncollected tickets to the site ticket office.
Your friend should be able to collect his ticket from there when he arrives at the site - but make sure he takes plenty of ID with him.

Still waiting for a secret resale?
Ah man. Now I'm going to have to keep refreshing https://glastonbury.seetickets.com every 5 minutes, too.

Some of us didn't get tickets, y'know.
Bah.

ThIs year I woke up Thursday morning in Bushy with my tent door wide open and a bag dragged over to the door and emptied. Nothing taken - all the good stuff was in the lockup.
Most disappointing thing about it was that I missed my chance to follow my own advice from last year...

That scenario is very unlikely to happen.

I've never personally experienced one single theft since I started going a few years back.
However, if I did catch someone tried breaking into my tent during the night while I was in there, I quite like to think that I'd Iet him get all the way in before gripping him in a headlock, cable-tying the bastard up, gagging him, and keeping him in there for the rest of the festival. Over the remaining nights, I'd 'sleep' with my face just inches from his while softly stroking his hair all night and calling him 'Ian'.
The fucker would never come to Glastonbury again, never mind rob someone's tent.

I know its not possible if coming alone, but i always leave my spare car key in my mates glovebox and visa-versa. Just in case.
Was actually useful this year as i accidentally packed my keys away in a pair of shorts in my rucksack!

I can only assume it comes from here --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_(sailing) which is linked to from here --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy-wire

Can't get this to work - either on an Android phone or an IE browser..
I've got nothing constructive to say to that!

I've said it before - this one shows an aggregate/'best guess' based on a bunch of forecasts and feeds, which is probably the way to go.

About halfway down the page, click Forecast Lines then the Precipitation tab to see the averaged out rainfall for the next 7 days.

Just reached the gates.
Police are now checking EVERYONE'S roll-on deodorants.

Conspiracy theorist, eh?
-
Nah, they just have a long and proud tradition of not giving a fuck about whether what they print is true.
-
If you come through Gate D and turn left, you're pretty much at the top of Bushy Ground already.
Camped there for the last 4 festivals. Always been quiet-ish and dry-ish, but getting anywhere else on site is a bit of a trek.

The aerial shot claiming to be 1999 wasn't 1999 because that was my first and the Pyramid didn't come until 2000.

Here's the 'forecast' you want to be monitoring. It's an aggregate/best guess based on a whole bunch of other forecasts.

I'm not even going this year (first time off in years... new baby!) and I'm still checking forecasts every 10 minutes. Jeez.

How about a team of stewards with invisible UV pens roaming the fields as everyone is setting up their tents. The idea is that they'll write one of the group's ticket numbers on the tent itself.
If that tent is left behind, you simply shine a UV light on it to reveal the ticket number, and that person is banned for a year.
Fairly low cost, low effort way to ID the culprits.

...no-one would mind if I took my flag in and sat at the front, would they?
-
For something that can be easily seen on DVD I dunno if I'd be bothered.
-
Yeah, but it polarised reviewers.
I think I'd be in the group who liked it.

I was wanting to watch Cloud Atlas in the Pilton Palais on Saturday as I'd missed it at the cinema first time around.
It was originally listed with an afternoon slot, but it's now been given an 8pm slot, and its a 3 hour film. All of which means I'd be ditching other headliners. However, Saturday was my weakest headliner slot anyway and nothing was really grabbing my attention.
So, watching films instead of headliners... is it a bit lame? Or is it not?
I can't decide.

I left no trace either.
BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET A TICKET.
Bah. Still gutted.
On another note, we went to a local-ish festival for the day on Saturday instead to try to ease the pain (It didn't). They were serving pints in disposable plastic glasses. I kept taking ours back to the bar each time and asked them to just re-use the same ones, and they looked at me as if I was mental.
My favourite reply from the bar staff was "nah mate, it's ok... you don't need to use them more than once... we've got thousands of them here."
YES MATE. THAT IS MY $%&*ing POINT.
