Queues into site from Pedestrian gate

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Pretty much what it says on the tin, are there any queues to get onto site from the pedestrian entrance?

Got the national express last year at 7am from london and was on site by 11 30, there was zero queue which was quite suprising. but yeah, this year our coach is leaving at 6am from london so in theory we should be on site at 10 30.... does anyone have any idea if i'm gonna face any queues?

Last year:

10:30pm Set off from Leeds

2:45pm Get to Glasto Car Park

7:00am Start Queuing to get through the gates

12:00pm Finally get through the gates after a 5 hour wate in red hot sunshine with no water / for sale

12:30pm get to pennards, and have to pitch next to toilets as no decent spaces left!!!!

To say we were in the car park at 2:45am weds you think we would have been able to pick a place to camp!!!

Never had this before at Glastonbury and hope it gets sorted this year

I am on coach also and hoping that as a reward for my Green Travel the queue to the entrance on Gate A will not be to long. From what I gather last year it wasn't too bad but might have to wait up to an hour at worst - which is fantastic!

I am guessing that if my coach (which leaves Birmingham at 5.30am) gets there 9am ish the queue might be worse but still hoping for 10.30am ish to get on site.

Fingers crossed!

you could have arrived at glasto 2 weeks earlier and it would have made no difference. you still only started queuing at 7am. no footy this year so shouldn't be as bad.

i arrived pedestrian gate A last year at around 9.30ish and the queue was tiny. i mean, it took me less than 10 minutes.

bare in mind that last year was football year too!

The great news this year, is I'm probably staying in the Village on Tuesday night. Hello Gate A at the crack of morning

[trickydickie]

Sounds like walking around to gate A via the main road is the answer. I'm certainly not hanging around in a car park all morning if it's like last year.

I suspect alot of people will be arriving early again this year even if it's pissing it down and without the footie factor !

I've gone round from gate C to A before a couple of years ago, when gate C wasn't opening on time for some reason, was terrible mistake because there was a massive queue at gate A, being slowed down by a team doing random bag checks.

So, it's probably best to stay in the queue you're in, unless you are in communication with someone else at one of the other gates

Well there are police and a lot of security around Gate A as well, so that stops the masses. Plus its impossible to get to if the Village is in between you.

[Alcatraz]

When you say police does that mean sniffer dogs as well? just dont wanna get my doobies taken off me!

There wasn't one police officer there when I went in last year & my ticket didn't even get checked when I got my wrist band.
