In general principle I'm with mr eFests, I believe that the ticket price covers the cost of being provided facilities and those facilities being kept in or near a reasonable state for the majority of the duration of your stay, however I'd like to say that the representative of this company has been very pleasant and taken all comments and criticism well, without becoming defensive, which is nice.

For some reason, which is beyond me, some people really have a problem with the long drops at glastonbury, which are about the best (free) festival toilets in existence (in my somewhat limited experience). Rule of thumb for me is that a portaloo should only be used in the very direst of emergencies, if you do not have the bladder/bowel control to make it to a long drop from any point on the site then I apologise for looking down on you slightly, but I do ;)

My favourite toilets are avalon crossroads, there's something about the way the wind blows across the top of your head while you kickstart your day.

Another festival 'upgrade' rip-off. Some young 'entrepreneurs' who noticed the awful toilets and, instead of lobbying the organisers (who make huge profits) to improve the toilets, they thought they could jump on the 'extras' bandwagon and make their own profits from people with enough money and daft to pay for a cleaner bog at £6 a pee. I'm fed up with the extortionate ticket prices, Ticketmaster rip-off 'fees', the Tier pricing con, the parking camping glamping con (remember the good old days when you paid to go to an event and they had a car park where you parked and were not charged), the rip-off drink and food prices and all the hangers-on who want to make a buck off music-lovers who just want to sit on the grass, listen to decent bands, have a drink a burger and a pee and sleep in a tent but are expected to pay £500 for the privilege.

Ticketmaster turns over $10billion, the owner John Malone gives half a billion dollars to the Trump campaign and hundreds of millions to charity - he should stop ripping off people and stop taking their hard-earned cash and giving it to Trump.

    • Madonna lived in the UK for absolutely ages and I think is still largely London-based at the moment.  I'm sure she'll be well aware.     But it wouldn't need to be either / or.  Lots of acts do both  - Glastonbury for the hype and BST for the pay.  
    • There is a chance that Norton's reaction was very much like our reaction, because people in this country tend to think 'big = Glastonbury'.   Having said that, though, I'm fairly sure they've gone for her again this time, and it's broken down. Whether it's only just broken down or not, I'm not sure, but I'd air on the side of - they thought they had her, up to a certain point.
    • Yeah, I did wonder if they might be getting too big for Piece Hall now. Wet Leg did Castlefield this year and were subbing them at Tramlines. Wishful thinking! I'd happily see them do another outdoor headline in the north of England, wherever it might be (except R+L, which I'm def too old for now 😂)
    • You've certainly got a bunch of American acts who absolutely adore the festival and are willing to bring peanuts for it. You can never discount The Killers on that basis.
    • Law unto herself, Madge. But I think, for a certain generation, Hyde Park still has a touch of mystery and magic - that and Wembley Stadium.
