Surely all it would take to convert all the returned GA tickets to coach+admission tickets would be to lay on extra coaches?

Yeah that just went through my head :lol: Spose its not a huge number, but a bit of an operation if they want to put on an extra 10k people in coaches

I prefer coach anyway - though NE over See coaches.

I'm speculating, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're increasing the number of coachers year-on-year, with the aim of getting an increase in the number of tickets they can sell once the traffic issues are less problematic because of the numbers coming by coach.

Not a bad bit of speculating, would definitely be in GFL's interests on both an environmental and logistical level.

Didn't emily or Michael say they wanted more people to take the coach? Would be a way of supposedly 'enforcing' it

Quite.

Regardless of whether it was actually the case, if they could make it look like the only tickets that have been returned were coach tickets, that'd be a hell of a middle-finger-salute to those who predicted that Kanye's booking wokld bring about the festival's demise, given the perception that there aren't many coach tickets...

I wonder if the Eavis' would be on board if we pitched them an experimental art project in which every single post in this thread is printed onto an individual piece of large confetti, and then it's all fired out of cannons situated on the Pyramid as the third headliner makes his/her/their way onto the stage.

Edit: if you've picked up the piece of confetti with this post on, congratulations! You've won Glastonbury. Please report to V Festival 2016 for your reward.

"Please welcome, Florence and the Machine!!"

...and tens of thousands of bits of confetti are simultaneously fired out of a cannon, and they all say 'OH FOR FUCKS SAKE', 'FUCKING FLORENCE?!' etc. etc.

Then come back after the festival and show which ones you've picked up!

Just heard from a friend of a friend whos friend once lived in Glastonbury (even tho thats irrelevant) that their friend says the 3rd headliner is a hologram of Michael Jackson. Not only that but 2 Pacs hologram is going to join him too.

Beyond hilarious.

Can you imagine everyone leaping up to try and grab a piece?

"What did you get?"

"Russy saying the festival isn't as good as it used to be! You?"

"Matt42 stretching the definition of the word 'officially' past breaking point!"

Mine was just a simple sentence saying Keynesian economics doesn't work

Imagine the bewildered look on the poor fella, who after scrambling for a piece of confetti, looks down to see this:

The fact that people get angry about a black man performing a hip hop song with a big group of other black artists just proves that a lot of people still don't see black artists as real artists

And if you say "it's becuase their music is shit" then you don't see hip hop or rap as real music.

#teamswift might be having a good day coming up. Get the champers on ice.

I like the sound of this, Festival Liam. I'm willing to put aside all cynicism and believe that Michael Eavis has personally promised you a Sunday night on the Pyramid where Taylor headlines and Patti Smith subs.

I forget who's legitimately 'in the loop' around here. Is this comment worth paying any attention to?

(Please say yes).

I'd just shake it off if I were you

I'll get me coat

    • I'm rethinking my plans to go now.
    • Yeah Birmingham date was a battle at first, kept kicking me out of seetickets presale for about 20 minutes. Tried on a different device and it put me through to axs with no queue. 
    • I don't know if they were playing the game of only putting certain seats on sale, but the presale for the Hydro was a battle - usual game of selecting blue seats only for them to have gone by the time you clicked through to checkout.  No standing available at all.  I managed to get two seats eventually, way over to the side.
    • Thom Yorke will be releasing new music this year. Would be amazing to have him (his 2019 Tomorrow's Boxes tour was stellar). Ed O Brien can also play a small set. Could be lovely.   Can see Fontaines DC headlining next year (if Mad Cool doesn't get them). Is Raye edgy enough for this? She's amazing live but maybe not a 'Primavera name'?   Hoping for a return of Run The Jewels (rumored to be working on something new?) Fred Again is a good shout as wel.  
    • Other than the very challenging hours of the storm (and PS's terrible mismanagement), I thought weekend was fantastic. Main highlights on Thursday - Blood Orange and Ahadadream>>Bambi>>BenUFO run at Plentitude right after the storm which were all a blast, Friday -  Avalanches DJ set (only played for an hour but could've continued for another two as far as we were concerned), The Cure (amazing show and his expression right at the end of the show which was caught on screen was very special) and on Saturday - Baxter Dury (seen him twice before but he has become a real performer, band was tight too). We accidentelly bumped into him in the VIP area later and he was so humble and modest and generous to us that I completely fell for him) and Smerz (especially the last 3 songs). Also loved BCNR at Parallel62 on Sunday. Crushed to have missed Overmono. Can't wait for next year.
