Crazyfool01 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just curious (I have mine) but how do you win the chance to buy them ? A few years back there used to be a competition in the local western Daily press paper that would either give you a chance to win a chance of buying tickets I think they had 100 pairs to sell , or a chance to win a pair of tickets . Dont think this competition runs now unfortunatly . didnt see it last year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotrsman Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'll be doing the pilgrimage from Adelaide, Australia, for the third time (2010, 2013, 2015). So expect it to be mostly sunny kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugworth Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I'll be traveling from Greater West London, Uxbridge to be precise. It's that dodgy little town at the end of the Piccadilly Line if anyone's familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billum Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Dad & Daughter from Isle of Man - first timers. Boat to Liverpool, then still to have a think on how to get there.... That's a great way to spend your first Glastonbury - I brought my daughter on my first one (or she brought me), and we both sure learned something from each other! By train from Liddypool you'll probably have to change at Birmingham & Taunton I expect, not too bad, 4 or 5 hours in all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintfletch Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Coming from Eastleigh near southampton. Getting there is usually about 1.5 - 2 hrs due to traffic volume and which way we decide to take. Left site on Sunday night before and have done it back in an hour with no traffic. Staying in worthy view this year for the first time so not sure if we'll arrive Wednesday or Thursday yet. Have fun everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coma girl Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Depending on where I'm living come June it'll either be directly from Glasgow or I'll be starting from 90mins north of Aberdeen and getting a train to Glasgow to meet my friends for the rest of the journey. Either way we'll be travelling from Glasgow in a convoy of minibuses as we've done for the last few years, arriving in time to join the queue on Tuesday night.

I have found the roslare-Pembroke ferry a better shout in the past it breakers up the journey better IMO. For what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaels denim shorts Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Train from outside my front door, (through castle Carey) to Taunton for a coach. Upside, I believe the coach drop off point is a hell of a lot closer to the middle of the site than any car park, so should save a couple mile hike with heavy stuff when we get there compared to other years, & will let mates with cars bring all my stuff I got em all tickets it's the least they can do lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmdirectuk Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Sheffield, takes a little longer on the coach because they usually need a break to they don't go over on their houses. I usually reward myself with a service station chocolate bar.. 4 hours usually! Fancy the back of my Vespa?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
