What do people say to you....

[rachbon]

"Who's playing." Usually asked by people with no interest in music, so I have to think of acts they might have heard of.

"Are you going to see [insert the biggest headliner]?" Then absolute shock when I say no.

"Who are you going to see?" Then when I only list a few acts "What will you be doing the rest of the time then?"

It's mostly positive though, people are usually curious about what it's really like, they usually hope that the weather will be good, a lot of people think I'm slightly mental for going, and some people seem a bit jealous.

I get quite often, "Ohh I couldn't do that, I like luxury, I couldnt rough it for five days"

Sometimes I wonder how I know these people ppfffft!

[Madmark]

"I'll keep an eye out for you on the tv." Yeah because I'll be so easy to spot in a crowd of thousands.

[Spindles]

Headliners, drugs, mud, no I did not watch Beyonce, in that order.

[Mr Andre]

no I did not watch Beyonce lol love it! But I will say I went had a look to see how sexy she was then walked off.

[johnmcga]

Usually they ask about the line-up, then get confused because they can't understand why I'm not really that fussed about who's playing.

[JackyBoi]

"Oh, you'll be taking your wellies then"

"Oooo Rolling Stones eh?"

etc etc

[funksoulfever]

Usually. Weather. Wouldnt pay that much. No electrics. What bands u seeing etc

[nowyouregideon]

Ask who I'm going with and make some sort of remark about wellies mostly.

I'm not the sort of person who hangs out with a lot of overly gregarious people so its not like I'll get a conversation out of them, not that that bothers me because most overly gregarious people talk out of their arses anyway.

[Rodbull]

Got asked on Thursday what sort of food am I taking to last that long and if iam not watching a headliner what do I do

[Josie's Cat]

Oh and people usually say "oh, are you?" in a totally disinterested way and then proceed to witter on about guttering or piles or France.

[Bradders]

Because I'm at Uni doing music people are generally interested in going so it usually goes:

"Oh you're so lucky! I missed out on tickets"

"Yeah it was a nightmare wasn't it (wasn't too hard for me but trying to empathise a bit), how long were you trying?"

"Well actually I kinda forgot about it on the day, then I saw they were sold out"

[deebeedoobee]

pupils ask "Are you going Miss?"

Teacher (me). "of course, I'm a villager, I always get given a ticket"

Pupil " can I come and live with you miss?"

[Tent Peg]

Usually get asked "why?" and stuff along the lines of "Why don't you go on a normal holiday? For the money you spend you could have a proper holiday in Spain!" Yeah right, so I can spend a week trapped by a pool with idiots like you ;-)

[BlackHole2006]

My favorite one from last night was someone informing me that The Rolling Stones were probably going to die on stage because they are so old

[funksoulfever]

People who complain bout 200quid to see hundreds of bands usually ones whol pay 70 to see robbie williams et

Majority of people at my work or my friends have been posative, a lot ask how the hell you manage to get tickets as they would love to go one day.

Then you get the who are you going to see, and I bet your going to be in a state

[AiiShotTheDJ]

I'm the only one in my friendship group who goes to festivals/gigs so it's slightly frustrating in so many ways when they ask:

"bloody hell, you pay all that to camp in a field and not wash for 5 days?"

"I couldn't do it, the toilets are rank"

(after asking who's playing) "I love Mumfords, they'd be the only ones I'd be watching"

Then, some people have no idea at all because it's either been a pipe dream or they have no interest in festivals at all (which isn't a problem!) but the best one I had the other day was:

"so, will you be staying in a hotel onsite? And what will you eat? I presume they have restaurants and places like Nando's?"

Everyone keeps asking about the weather but I suppose It's a very British question.

But the weather nor the music is why I'm going. It's for the people and the party.

[carrie2]

usually just recoil in horror

or ask if I've got my wellies "ready"

[rmcoboy]

Mud, bogs, who's playing? how much?, mud, kids as well?, mud, hippies, mud, drugs, rather you than me (Yeah, me too!)

[glasto virgin]

people are going to shit in your tent. im hoping this isnt the case
