Don't take your iPhone to glasto, problem solved! If you've got an old phone that lasts for ever take that and a spare battery so you can get in touch with people if you need to. You don't need it for the rest of the time. Never take anything to glasto you wouldn't be bothered about not bringing back.

You don't leave your phone at the charging tent you have to stay with it. As others have said take an old phone with a long battery life or look at battery based chargers, only leave your phone on when your actively looking to meet up with people and as said if you don't need your phone, and quite often you really don't, then leave it in a small bag in one of the lookups. lockups

Edit> as I've obviously been using excel too much today

I take an old nokia to festivals and have two batteries for it, if i get onto using the second battery its only for the last day or so. Only use it to meet up with people/finding people after losing them. Its nice not to use my iphone for a few days :-)

quick question (as I didn't think it was worth making a new thread) - do the tipi fields open the same time as the rest of the festival or later? I read on the glastonbury website that the tipi fields have an opening ceremony at 6:30 on the thursday - it seems slightly unfair if that is the case that the people who buy a tipi either bring extra camping stuff for the wednesday night or miss out on a day of the festival.

if your going to carry anything on your person have zipped or buttoned pockets, really do not take things you dont mind losing dont leave money iphones or your pet cat ernie in your tent .

Really glastonbury today is full of iphones and people with lists and fancy clothes, but you dont need any of it . The people who used to get to festivals walking or hitchhiking following lay lines ,guided only by a magic crystal and maybe a hand drawn map given to them by a wizard, had a better time of it

I lost one of my old nokia's to the glasto mud via a hole in my pocket a few years back. I blinked and my mates had disappeared, watched James Brown, Supergrass on my 'own' and totally saw what I wanted - best time was had knowing I'd catch my mates later on. Don't need a phone, but always prepared to lose stuff now and don't take valuabes. My current glasto old nokia lasts 5 days off one charge.

Remember to buy tickets for the monorail before the festival, you won't be able to buy them on the day.

Pay the extra tenner for the VIP weekend pass. It'll allow you to travel on the monorail from the Pyramid Stage, Other Stage, West Holts and Shangi-La an unlimited amount Wednesday-Sunday.

watch the film glastonbury fayre or even woodstock originally glastobury was a free festival , dont litter even though most of the people leave all their crap on the site dont do it yourself try to be nice to the people around you.

Actually the litter pick at the end I like doing its paid and you get food, if you lose all your money wash dishes or chant with the hare krishna for food

Do you have a dodgy Nigerian call centre working on your behalf?

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play.
