Going for the first time. I am terrified that the people at the gates will say "that's not you", when looking at the picture on my ticket.

Another fear is that I will not find a good camping spot.

Actually looking forward to and enjoying the event will happen after those things are taken care of ^^

WHerever you camp is a good spot. Chat to your neighbours. Find the nearest and/or least stinky bogs, and your nearest tea/coffee outlet for the mornings. Then, go and have a wander round the rest of the site. Enjoy it. You only get one first time ;)

Gawd knows how many times I've been, I voted 15 to 20.

Funnily enough just the other day I was telling the kids how the first time I went I camped by the tree in the Pyramid field, surrounded by lots of space, not many people wanted to camp that far up the field. :lol:

This one will be number 8 and counting. I foolishly didn't think I'd 'like' Glastonbury, and was eventually convinced by my now-husband (who had been to Reading but nowhere else) that we should try it as a 'life experience' in 2003... To say I fell in love with the festival was an understatement :biggrin: and I've been to every festival since (bar 2004, which was was a disaster in terms of ticket buying, and I didn't know about things like volunteering and working in those days)

Cheers everyone for voting on my poorly titled,optioned and generally shoddy poll. Good to see how many ''newbies'' are actually going.

When we (me and Mrs Sink) looked at going to Glastonbury we were worried it was going to be a big boys club but the more and more we read threads on here the more we are looking forward to it :bye:

My first Glasto was 2010. The 2009 line up was my idea of heaven but obviously I didn't know the line up when the tickets went on sale and had previously decided that I was too old/boring/busy/whatever to go to Glastonbury.

My very lovely daughter was there and went to acts she knew I'd love, once or twice missing acts she'd rather see. Every time, she phoned me and held her phone up to the speakers and crowd so that I could be part of it.

Then I went in 2010 and completely fell in love. As far as I'm concerned, that particular daughter has got her tickets paid for for as long as I am fortunate enough to be able to afford them and lucky enough to get them. And I will attend each and every one of those years too.

    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
