Who's not going next year?

I rekon i'm giving it a couple of years off, will probably return for 2013.

Had such a blinding year this year and don't quite want to let go of those memories just yet and am quite content to sit this next one out.

I might make a point of hitting up some of the smaller festivals next year though, i've not really been to many smaller ones.

I'm one of those evil people who has got a deposit as a 'just in case I decide to go' deposit. I actually want to work the fest but not got anything sorted yet obviously so this is a start.

My ticket will come free/go back in the pool if I get to go as an employee :D

I think I have a ticket now! My mate got through and booked it for me. But not had a confirmation email and money not showing as gone from bank yet. But fingers crossed I should be going :)

Hey, don't fret... I didnt get my confirmation for like 4 days or something crazy last year and some people had theirs far, FAR later.

Basically, if you managed to get a booking then you'll pretty much be certain to have a ticket :)

Cheers for those other festivals, i'll check them out :)

Well it wasn't me who gave you the names of the other festival so I can't take your thanks :)

But I'll add a few to you list to check out, and if anyone has been to any of these can I ask to share your opinions of them.

Y-not festival

2 thousand trees

Offset.

I was thinking of doing a couple of those if I couldn't get glasto tickets, they have looked pretty good in previous years.

And of course there is 'Glastonbudget' if it is still going, that looks fun :)

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
