Very impressive figure, but gotta be a lot of duplicate. I know I DID go this year but yet still watched the highlights & repeats every night (and sometimes again during day/night) via the RED Button lots.

I'm sure they're plenty of other Glasto peeps were there & like me watched as much as poss when we got back. :P

I was watching it at home. It was the first time I had ever watched a lot of the coverage and I remember watching Blur and me and my brother were sitting in the sitting room gobsmacked.

We were planning 2010 the day after. :P

I prefer the annual BBC Have Your Say topic on Glasto which amounts to "£195 to sit in a muddy field? What a scam!" and knowing that they'll never be able to appreciate the wonders of spending a week with friends you know and friends you don't, having a pint and watching some band you've never heard of before but absolutely love in the sunshine.

There's nowhere else in the world where you can do as you do at Glasto, and it's completely priceless!
