I drove last year and never again! From the horrendous experience I had getting out of London to the massive queues to trying to drive across what was basically a lake of mud to get out (in a Yaris... it was no joke). Bus all the way for me from now on!

No need to take a car whatsoever. Me and my mate used local bus services last year, planned the route carefully then got a taxi driver from Glastonbury town to take the back roads and drop us off only a short walk from the entrance. Beat our friends in cars and coaches by a good 4-6 hours respectively and made a few new friends on the way. It's also quite easy to hitch-hike, especially once the festival's over, although it's noticeably more difficult than it used to be, but then the festival is starting to attract a different sort of crowd than back in the olden days (sad but true, I seem to remember people taking their tents home once upon a time). Took about an hour to thumb a lift last year, those in the car had been trying to get out for about 3 hours.

Last year as I got a ticket quite late on and coming from Glasgow I flew down to bristol as it was less expensive than train or coach then got the bus to the festival... this eyar with ticket already paid off and knowing more people travelling down it will probably be train the whole way.

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
