bit of a pattern developing

[keysh]

the 1st year i went to glastonbury was 07 and the tickets sold out straight away. if you remember 07 you will remember sludge sludge sludge, then 08 didnt sell out right away, it was sunny nearly all weekend same as 08 and 09. but now the tickets have sold out again does this mean we in for a muddy 1 again? anyone else notice this. (tiz only a theory afer all)

[MEGABOWL]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[tarff26]

tickets sold out straight away for 2009 too and it was decent weather this year - apart from the Thursday night

[42-shades]

My theory is that we will have weather.

[Langdale Wolf]

Ladies and gents - I present The Langdalian Theory .

The only connection between the weather and ticket sales is:

If the previous festival was dry, tickets sell quickly.

If the previous festival was wet, tickets sell slowly.

The only anomalies to the Langdalian Theory occur after fallow years. Which - if you want to be pedantic - also coincided with the Glasto weekend in 2006 being dry, proving that The Langdalian Theory is correct.

tickets sold out straight away for 2009 ...

[rischbrit]

Ginger Rock is correct.... I didn't get mine for 2009 until mid December 2008!

97 you could get tickets from HMV the day before. Mudfest.

[catsta]

I was thinking the same.

We haven't had rain down here for about a month. I buy my tickets then it Pisses down. Go figure!!

[just-spence]

2003 tickets sold out in hours and it was hot as satans jock strap

[tubs]

Well, exactly.

Hell, after 2007 even *I* didn't buy a ticket.

[Boosh]

My theory is that we will have weather.

2003 tickets sold out in hours and 2002 was hot as satans jock strap

Fixed for you.

It's nowt to do with weird magic or 'vibes', it's simply to do with how wet/dry the previous year was.

If 2007 wasn't a complete wash out (as well as being quite cold) then 2008 would have sold out fast.

Many people are fickle as f**k about the weather, and the media makes it worse. Any paper in the country groups the words 'Glastonbury' and 'mud' together. If it's sunny, no news.

Now, I witnessed this in 2009. When the rain came, there was plenty of footage on site, of 'ker-azy' punters dancing in the mud (you've all seen them - w**kers wanting to get their mush on BBC4), 'horror/survival' stories about waking up half drowned etc.

But then when the rain went and the site dried up, you could not get any info about the weather for love nor money. And I did look to make sure my buddies were dry!!

Sunny and dry Glastos simply do not get the attention in the media, but with a bit of rain, puddles and f**kwits with fluffy boots jumping in piss-filled puddles - front page news.

Typical f**king British - we do love to moan about the weather, but stay completely quiet during the rare occasions the weather is agreeable.

Completely agree with you there.

Even the new presenter that was actually ON SITE and probably ment to advertise what glastonbury really is claimed that there was alot of "Dirty Hippies and Weirdos rolling about in the mud". The presenters should be people like Steve Lamaq or Adam and Joe who really get into the spirit of things, not picked just because they are young and good looking.

It really pisses me off how the media percieves this wonderfull event!

Its always in monsoon season - that the problem (or its those Druids playing games)

[simonizer]
