Will be trying of course, might be less of us this year though, we'll see. I wouldn't want to go by myself , I reckon though they'll be at least three of us. I reckon i'll keep trying until the fallow year and see how it goes after that, I am 52 , not getting any younger, though feel go for it :)

I'll definitely be trying - and succeeding, I hope. Been for the last six years and can't see me getting bored for a little while yet, if ever.

First unlucky ticket day last year so I'm hoping that means I'm due a lucky one. Will be trying for coaches, if they do that again, so that should help. Also one of my Glasto buddies who was absent last year is back on board :D

Am going to try and make it there again this year.

I went in 2013 and fell in love with Glasto. Had to miss this year when I originally had a ticket on T Day, but had to give it up due to work commitments, money, and the fact that Glasto is a long way from Australia!

But after watching the highlights this year with my girlfriend, she is super keen and I realised how much I missed it.

So, I am hopeful I can be successful again on T day!

Yes.

But... if we fail in the main sale in October, like we did for 2013's festival, we might decide then to find something smaller to go to, rather than hang on for countless resales. We did succeed eventually for 2013, but I think 2015 might be a good opportunity to try something a bit smaller if we don't get lucky initially.

I had a great time this year, but it wasn't a vintage one for me for various different reasons. And like others, I never thought I would question whether I 100% wanted to go or not - it's an odd feeling!

I'm going to try on ticket day, but they may go back into the pot later on.

I don't know if at 52 I'll be up for it. The sheer physicality of Glastonbury was a limiting factor to my enjoyment this year. I really do need to take a chair in with me, but that feels like cheating.

The line up , or what we know of it will be the deal-breaker. I have a feeling that next year will be a real classic year. But only time will tell.

If I fail on ticket day, then that's the decision made for me and I'll be elsewhere.

I'll admit the lure is too much, but as said by * Claire* perhaps a smaller fest if October doesn't work out, like Bestival, I can't do two in one year so will opt for that if not successful :)

What counts against trying for me is my realisation that its now totally dominated by self satisfied middle class white guys most of whom are too old or should know better and who turn up and sit in their hired campervans moaning if it rains.

So if I don't go - there'll be one less of them.

I'll almost definitely be trying. I hate that we don't get to know the line up before applying for tickets and managed to get tickets this year in the resale which makes me wonder if I could chance doing that again. Also have a pretty large council bill to pay off that could make it difficult for me to afford, but still having said all that I know I'll probably be trying to get tickets in October

Much as people say it's not all about the lineup - surely given the length and breadth of the lineup on offer this year, you realise that even if you don't know who's playing, as a music fan you'll get served well - right?

    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
    • No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
    • Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
