demographic

[jimmyk83]

Not sure this is the best place to get a true indication of the demographic, though. Most efests posters will have been to multiple festivals before and, given that it's the best by a long, long way, most will have been to Glasto before. I imagine that the same poll on, say, the BBC's Glasto page would generate very different results.

First time was 2009, been every year since.

[eFestivals]

every year since 1986 .... not quite sure how many festivals that is now.

3rd in a row for me

[izcuje]

Next year will be our 2nd time, and possibly last time for a while due to circumstantial life obligations.

Also, most of those who didn't get tickets will be off the forum, whereas those of us who did are still buzzing about it and therefore are hanging round to vote.

For the record my first was '07, and haven't missed one since.

[5co77ie]

This will be my nineteenth in a row

[Pinhead]

2013 will be 16th. "Its not the age, its the milage" . . .

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

12th in a row I think. Not that it matters if you have been to 1 or 10, the only important fact is that your going to be at the next.

[drunk pumpkin]

2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and thankfully 2013: I feel very fortunate as i know there are a lot of regular casualties who aren't going home!!!

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Best be careful with the results of your poll. Someone might nick em for their dissertation.

[jimmyk83]

I don't necessarily agree. In the past i have missed out on tickets and still hung around on here (along with quite a lot of other efesters) 2010? i think it was i got mine in a mini resale again along with a lot of other efesters, purely out of being on this forum. I know that if i had missed out yesterday i would still be here clinging on to hope that i would get a ticket to the ball.

i think this is proof that the well prepared and the informed tend to succeed at glasto ticket buying where more casual and less well connected (friend group wise) fail.

If you assume a certain level of well-informed ness and preparation associated with posting on this board 180/184 were successful. That is a 97.8% success rate. Ok it is a small sample but its no coincidence in my opinion.

i've had tickets in the first round of sales for each event from 2007 to present. Think thats 6 on the trot.

This will be my 23rd in a row............... Luckily I don't have to be part of the ticket scramble. At 1mb our internet attempts at buying would surely fail.

[Pot]

2nd time, can't wait!

[michael eavis' beard]

6th on the bounce - just happy I don't have to stress till the resale this time like last year!

For those who haven't got tickets - keep the faith, it's not over yet!

[ilovelanegan]

Thanks to the backdoor this will be my 6th in a row, and 7th overall. Going with a few regulars and 2 newbies, including my brother, who is most excited at the prospect of his first Glastonbury at the age of 40! Unfortunately some of our good friends missed out, as Seetickets fixed the server loophole before I could go back in and get theirs. Will be helping them in the resale as will be a shame if they miss out, it's always a really good fun group. Good luck to everyone on here still hoping to get tickets!

[madtanz]

Been four times before, fingers crossed for the resale this time though.

[Keef]

This will be my 12th in a row and still excited to be going - more than the first time probably.

[abdoujaparov]

it'll be my 20th in a row...first with a baby (he/she/it will be 4 months old) and we're bringing my 7 year old step son, who last went in 2007

[WillyVWade]

Sample Bias? Since we had a back door, I'd say there's a lot more than average going and people who hang around here aren't likely to be first-timers...

[Poliwhirl]

Yes and been before, Every year since 2008

[Mmmm Beer]

11th in a row.

[cornholio]

Yes, been to every one since 1989. Thought it was going to go pear shaped this year. Long gone are the days of rolling up to the local HMV a week before the festival and getting a ticket(!)

[sbecks]

6th time for me, can't wait as missed out on tickets last year. Haven't stopped smiling since Sunday!
