The 2 things I am thinking of are:

i) Ticket sales. Are there more people after tickets because it has been at least a year since they attended and they really want to go, or does it work the other way round as a lot of people have lost the buzz from going over a year ago?

ii) Line-up. With 2 years working at it, is the line-up generally better, or does it not make a difference as they don't tend to book that far ahead anyway?

1)We're find out sunday :P

2)Any festival will strive to book the best acts they can in any year (Paraphrased from Mr Efestivals :P)....that said Glastonbury might have more choice in acts who wouldn't be a direct repeat of the year before's line up.

1. Ever since they annouced that 2012 wasnt going going ahead ive been planning for 2013.

Ive done 3 Leeds and Global Gathering and a Wakestock in preperation for the big one!

2. Emily has had a long while to think about it, I belive it will be a strong set of headliners

i swear first year i tried for (2009) i got one so easily, and they were on sale a couple of days after.. really regret not going that year, next time i tried was for 2011 and it was just a nightmare. My main concerns about getting a ticket this time are just because of trying last time.

i) Ticket sales: I'm not really sure what to think about how what it's going to be like on Sunday. Could go either way really, but I've got a little trick up my sleeve that will hopefully guarantee me a ticket by half 9.

ii) Line-up: All of the bands that did the UK festival rounds this year will probably want to play Glastonbury, given the fact that most of the bands that have released albums this year have been pretty good, I reckon the line up's going to be pretty strong.

Come on then, what's your big plan? unless you're planning to kidnap Emily Eavis and ransom her for tickets, i don't think anything increases your chances more than being awake and ready Sunday morning. Come to think of it, even that wouldn't work, because you'd have to give them a photo and a name for the ticket!

I'm an IT Geek have access to more computers than can shake a stick at... but... not that much difference really, milliseconds at best, more what happens at See's end... all I know is I will probably still be in bed using my wireless and my laptop, virgin media broadband and will be up refreshing from about quarter to 9

I can't remember which year it was maybe 09 but out of curiosity I went on the see tickets website at about 8.40ish just to see if the site was crashing at that point and managed to get through and get my ticket? Did that happen to anyone elese?

I kept clicking through thinking 'it's going to kick me out in a minute' but it never did. There is a lesson to be learned from the early bird getting the worm!

    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.

    • Solid list...  but i must ask?  are you excluding Lime Garden & Tomora as you didn't like them or is it that you havent listened to them? 
    • It was Brooklyn last year, and I seem to remember a Guinness tent
