FuzzyDunlop Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Mid september: TDay is officially announced. People are moaning it's not free. Beginning of october: TDay, people joyous, people are moaning that it's a scam and seetickets are w*nk. November: The odd act that no one has heard of, but sound amazing are announced. People are moaning they have not heard of them and that the festival is "ages away". December: The 6 month countdown. It's cold, and the furthest point between festivals. People are moaning about Christmas. January: A brief spell of happiness as a new year takes hold, but the odd moan about the cold. Feb: The usual moans - "why don't we know anything?!" March: The odd act we have heard of has filtered through and at the end of the month an "announcement". People moan the announcement is crap. April: Pay off balance! The real countdown is on. People are moaning at headliners. May: The rest of the line up is released. Resale, People moaning they missed out. Seetickets are still w*nk. June: Start: People are moaning about the weather. It's raining, it's too hot. End of June: HAPPPPINESSSS July: Comedown central means people are moaning, "it's not what it used to be", "everyone there was a twat", "the food is too expensive", August: It's ages til the festival - the moaners are not around?!

musky Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Oy, what do you mean the moaners are not about in August. Are you suggesting we're lightweights, just here for the busy months??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrompompey Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 And in July, I've gotta panic and cry because I have to pay off the debts that I built up in the last week of June I'm still paying mine off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 For me, if I'm lucky enough to get a ticket, the countdown begins in October. Yes it's a hell of a wait, but at that point I'll know I'm going (touch wood) and it's a fixed date in the diary. The real barren months are July - September.

Never wish I'd never got on! I love the rollercoaster!! There's no getting off. If Glastonbury hasn't changed your life, you either haven't done it right or it really is not for you.

Mollyanne&Mike Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Guilty of being a lurker in August, but not a moaner! Always worried where work might take me around T day in case I get stranded though, often wonder about booking hols to make sure I'm def at home with a good internet connection!

MrZigster Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Right now. Remember that T day is generally first Sunday in October. Remember that I need six weeks notice to book a day off. Realise I may have left it too late Check diary to see if I'm working that morning. I'm on at Eleven. So have to leave house at10:30 latest. That's time enough, isn't it?

If you aint got them by 10:30 chances are you wont...... so having to leave by 10:30 youre safe to leave (though very pissed off no doubt. :beach: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a 30 minute delay a couple of years ago, so they didn't actually start selling until 10:30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisty Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 If Seeticks get their act together, they'll be gone within an hour is my bet. It only used to take longer when bus ticket options were available on the same day. By 10:30 you'll be elated or heavy hearted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisty Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 What time do they go on sale? 9 o/c normally I think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 9 o/c normally I think it is. Oh right, I was thinking 10 for some reason. 10:30 seems pretty safe then. Barring no technical clangers, they may well be sold out by 9:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernScum Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 April: Pay off balance! The real countdown is on. People are moaning at headliners. This mystifies me. Go to another festival and make room for people who love Glasto full stop. I had a look at Metallica this year and was unimpressed, so i wandered off and, by chance, got 15 minutes of Bryan Ferry. Then i dissolved into the hubbub and craziness of the festival... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I too tried ten minutes of Metallia and then switched to an excellent set from Mr Ferry. One of the joys of Glasto is that there is usually something for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Oh right, I was thinking 10 for some reason. 10:30 seems pretty safe then. Barring no technical clangers, they may well be sold out by 9:30. Last year they were on sale at 9am but See messed it up and didn't start selling properly until 9:30am. They were gone by about 10:20am if I recall correctly. If See get their act together this year, it'll have sold out well before 10am. Makes me nervous just thinking about it.
