Unfortunately the number of our family and friends is not perfectly divisible by 6, so we played the odds and failed. Doh!

How could you have done this if the number of family and friends is not perfectly divisible by six? You said in the first post that every one got tickets except the bride to be. You ask us to believe that ALL your family and friends tried for tickets and not one of them noticed your failure to include yourself on any list? You also ask us to accept that All your family and friends got tickets? Unless you have a very small family and an even smaller circle of friends then that's wildly beyond any odds the lottery would give you for winning the jackpot. And I mean wildly beyond.

Which leaves me wondering why you haven't come on here and honestly asked for help? Low post count concerns? You could have overcome this by regularly posting from now until next April and then asking for help. I'm curious as to why you chose deceit as the road to go down?

Yog dude, why are you bothering to exert so much energy and time on a bullshit thread. Step away and go and have a cuppa of whatever makes you feel better.

Hello H.M.V. :)

A succession of people have come to our house over the last four days / nights so I've been on a little bit of a bender. Tonight there are more people downstairs partying. I came upstairs to go on efests because I'm a little people'd out now. Having little else to do I looked at this thread again and thought I'd just post on here for something to do, as it's currently better than being downstairs. Ideally I should go to bed but have taken a little something that will not allow sleep to happen for some time.

I am also genuinely curious why someone would chose to go to such lengths as the OP's first post in order to gain a benefit. I doubt if they'll respond to my request on this though, so maybe it was futile of me to bother posting further.

Trolls tend to be emotional vampires or just want to see things kick off. Feeding them is the worst thing you can do. Its a kick from either an emotional outpouring of support (in this instance but not very successful) or by watching a thread go up in flames.

It hadn't occurred to me that they were trolling. I had taken the stance that they posted in order to get a load of efesters to help them get the one ticket the person or group needs. To me it seems that the person(s) behind the OP decided to create a scenario in order to do this rather than just ask honestly. If this is the case, then I just think it would be interesting to know the driving force(s) behind it. I might be wrong though.

Glastonbury Festival, how great thou art.

I am writing to you in the faint hope you can offer a solution to my T-Rex size conundrum.

Jackie (my fiancé) and I are planning to have our honeymoon at Glastonbury 2015 with a group of our nearest and dearest family and friends that are gathering from across the seven seas; on Sunday bloody Sunday we all managed to get tickets except the bride to be! As you can imagine she had a primal scream and now she is simply red with disappointment, in a blur of sadness. It has made me feel like smashing pumpkins to a pulp.

Jackie has been the driving force behind this honeymoon oasis, the wonderful mother of my daughter, she is a Northern blondie who now lives in Australia with me. As a passionate lover of Glastonbury, the prodigy of festivals, she has arranged the wedding in Europe, in June, specifically to allow us to honeymoon at Glastonbury. In her typically kind hearted manner, always considering the group over herself, whilst organising the web of bookers she did not align herself to any specific group of six, and thus everyone got a ticket except for her. The irony stings like a massive attack from a band of gorillaz, as I’m sure U2 can imagine.

Jackie has often mused that Glastonbury is a test of one’s strength of will, from the scramble for tickets, through to the bus ride home, a myriad of challenges, with the madness of the weather report and the killer traffic; but the sheer unadulterated joy that the week brings is second to none. Cold play in the mud, listening to the finest tunes that make you dance like a little dragon with psychedelic fur at the apex of the pyramid of life, to the point where you feel like you have a radio head! Glastonbury 2015 is shaping to be the most trying yet, and thus (we pray) the best yet. I sense Glastonbury 2015 is forming as a metaphor of our future marriage, my ability to be the rock in the roll of that new order is being tested today.

I do hope that the wondrous rolling stone that is Glastonbury Festival can somehow swing the pendulum of life in the favour of the special kind hearted pixie that is my wonderful wife to be.

Please, please, please, help us rise from the ash, show me the cure and we can all have a happy Monday!

With great respect,

Josh

    • To be fair @Superscally barely mentions the running thing. Very quiet about it 😘
    • I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either   
    • Selfish, but I've done the 2 days I'm there.. i'll try to do the rest through the day but might get beaten to it as it's editable....    https://clashfinder.com/s/ape2026/
    • I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
    • And all (or all but one) of the secret sets repeats though?
