Also, the tickets have a bar code on it, I think next time they should sort of assign tents to tickets when you get in, so when you walk in with a tent, you give them your ticket and they flag you in the system that you have a tent (e.g scan your ticket as they do now for fake ones but have a Tent/No Tent database) so is not going to take that much longer at all to flag your tent/ticket.... on the Monday on the way out they should have a scanner for your ticket, if it shows you came with a tent but dont have it with you then you either pay a fine or go back get your damn tent, obviously if you have a massive tent for 8+ people then just 1 person in the group gets flagged and is therefore responsible for it.

Would probably cause more queuing but I am happy to queue knowing people are taking their crap with them.

I liked this too, but there's no going back now. People will continue to arrive early, and will want to be entertained. There was some truly ugly overcrowding at the things that were on, particularly on the Thurs. I think the best solution is either to put more stuff on for Weds and thurs, or at least to move the action to areas that can cope with greater numbers. Not sure if this would be possible with the current licence or whether it would need to be amended

Embrace the use of myhab/green tent companies outside the fest as long as they are legit and can follow through -if you are willing to pay, walk the hill of death etc for a shower then great it takes a few people out of the crushed camping areas, leaves less of a trace on the main site etc.

Anyone else noticed how the 'Other Accommodation Options' pages have been removed from the official GF website....?

With the failure of MyHab and the campervan hire lot it wouldn't surprise me if GFL are having a complete re-think on promoting options that are not strictly affiliated or connected the the event itself...

hmmm <_<

Yeah, and there's loads of these external accomodation options around the site now - almost another festival going on outside the fence these days. I guess Eavis is happy for his local farmers to cash in on the festival as well with their own little enterprises as it keeps them sweet with lending him patches of their land for the festival proper and complaining less about the annual hassle.
