Why not charge people more to come in on the Wednesday?

e.g. £250=Wed.

£200=Thur.

£150=Fri.

I think that this would work, what about you?

Well I'm not sure if it is a good idea or not. But I would find the money to come early, as I think many others also would because it is about being their for the whole festival for me. I can imagine it would be good e.g. for teachers who can't come on the weekdays!

It use to be that you could turn up at Glastonbury on friday morning, park up and get set up with very little fuss

then as the festival grew year on year, you had to turn up on thursday. Then wednesday. Now tuesday...... all this has been allowed to ease all the congestion that so many people can cause by arriving all at once.

you can not keep opening earlier and earlier.

So if traffic continues to cause problems, what you gonna do?

Limit the number turning up on any given day!

How? Stagged entry!

It sounds like a good idea but its remarkably unfair, given the ethos of the festival its like saying the richer you are the more you can enjoy. The way it is now apart from hospitality everyone is pretty much the same, which is the way it should be. (Obviously outside of this there are other limiting factors) and if the price increase is only minor and not prohibitively expensive then it won't cut down enough anyway.

The only real way to cut congestion is as mentioned before and countless other options is to make public transport the number 1 way to travel.

As I've stated before - Why not have different coloured car park tickets - perhaps 4 different colours each one with different entry times spread between 9am on Tuesday to 9pm Tuesday;

Randomise selection of ticketing , or better still give those furthest to travel the first entry time;

Its not to late to do this - and it will keep locals happier as no bottlenecks on Tuesday (was wednesday) of people waiting at the gate?

    • Israel and Lebanon agree to a ceasefire...problem is Hezbollah, and problem with Hezbollah is Israel. Israel should withdraw, put onus solely on Hezbollah...who are already weakened, which would then strengthen credibility of the Lebanese govt. But with Netanyahu in charge that is unlikely.
    • I saw that the payment method is contactless wristbands - I understand you collect them at the festival site and can top them up there as well? Yes, there are top up points, keep the recepe if you want to withdraw the money in the end   How much does food and drink usually cost at the festival? We would like to know how much money we should prepare for the festival. Beer, Wine etc. 5€, Gin tonic, Whishkey Cola were 6-6.5€, food 10€    Is there a bus from the festival site to the city center? And are there any stops along the way? No offical info yet, but ussualy there are free festival buses from Ljubljanica to festival site, with few stops on the way. Nice to get to the festival but crowded from festival back to the city.   Where is the best place to find an Uber/Bolt to return from the festival site? Petrine ulica   Are there any shaded areas to take a break from the strong sun? Yes, i think there is some.
