Messy Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 He doesn't have a ticket, and isn't working, but "knows some of the security" and managed to get on site. Says he reckons he'll be able to "buy a wristband" for cheap and be inside for the festival. I'm a touch annoyed, as I've paid £200, but it would be good to see him there. Is he talking out of his arse, or does this sort of thing happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackmypie Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I used to get free wristbands, still do but this year I bought a ticket as I think they might be limited and didn't want to risk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverman Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Envy is such an unpleasant trait. Why can't you just be happy for him. The odd one or two 'naughty boys' who sneak in without tickets won't really make that much difference the sustainability of Glastonbury.

daclown28 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 He won't be getting something fr nothing, he given up a week of his life before the festival just to get in. thats dedication and he deserves to be there! He will probably meet people and end up helping, that's how it works . He's not going to be able to hide in a bush for a week! He's going to have to offer help to make friends and hopefully bag himself a band of a nice person inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverman Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 No, youre right. I agree. If everyone did it, it would be dreadful. But obviously systems would be put in place to stop it happening in the future. But it is wrong. It is, ultimately, theft. However... It's his brother! It's almost like he's sharing the story in the hope that security might get the dogs out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombfrog Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 What a strange way of looking at it. Its like saying "why cant you be happy for the odd one of two that steal from a shop" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ink1ing Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Michael Eavis himself was quoted saying he wished more people would hop the fence. Lots of people do find other ways than tickets. I myself have never bought an official ticket. The first year I came I bought a band ticket from my mate for £50. I've worked many years and even the couple I've blagged my way in once there I've found useful things to get on with. The paying punters are only a part of the rich tapestry that is Glasto.
