So... How were the Tipis last year?

[alibobbin]

the toilets are only as "good" as the people who use them.

and the toffs in the tipis are no better than the serfs in the normal camping areas.

Haha, I don't think it's toffs who get them to be honest!

We're a bunch of geordies getting ours and far far from being toffs, lol

[neil999]

the butlers were very poor, i noticed one with a dirty cuff one day..

I surely hope the chap was reprimanded?

Force him to eat value brand tomatoes rather than sunblush!!

They don't take random beat downs as well as they used to either. Get all uppity and mouthy these days. Giving me all this "But Señor Nal we hava the human rights now" cobblers.

[alibobbin]

Do you get separate wrist bands?

I'll be starting my usual 'festival w*nker' collection and an additional one will go down just nicely!

Just a paper thing that you'll be glasd to see the back of first thing on Monday morning.

Anyway - let's all let this thread just quietly drop away off the first page. Mum's the word

What a strange thing to say. Even accounting for your inverse snobbery, that's an oddity.

Sadly I haven't found anyone with whom to share a tipi so I'll be as I was last year, hoping for a good pitch.

I would offer, but we are a group of girls and I don't think they'd take kindly to me inviting a random stranger into our tipi (assuming I get one of course)

Ah, thanks. I totally understand that position. Sharing sleeping space with an 'unknown' is a big ask. All I can do is promise I won't have my collection of knives with me and my ritual sacrifices don't extend to that particular weekend, plus I guarantee I wouldn't watch anyone sleeping.

YOU'D ALL BE SAFE.

Let me know if you change your mind...

Haha, who says we'll be sleeping?!?!

I certainly don't intend on much.

I will ask (again, if I'm lucky enough tomorrow morning) but I can't guarantee. 2 people are newbies to glasto and don't really get how friendly most are there you see (they're used to creamfields)

[kalifire]

Totally understand, it's all good. I'm happy either way. Your Creamfields friends are in for an amazing five days

Its true though, the toilets are all clean before everyone arrives.

Even the turdies if people didn't carry on over filling them...

you don't need to tell me, i'm glasto through and through!

actually have the multi coloured symbol as a tattoo

[CaledonianGonzo]

I managed to buy one, but no harm in keeping trying. Might be in baskets of people humming and hawing.

[tombertb]

I got through, wanted to buy 2 (for 12 of us), and when I selected 2 it said you could only purchase 1 per booking.

Incredibly annoying given the website says the opposite.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Aye. But I'd still keep trying if I were you and not be talking to me on here! Bonne chance!

[themuel]

I was in straight away at 0900, by the time I completed payment three minutes later it told me that while I had been paying they sold out.

That's my least favourite thing about the Glastonbury ticket system, stuff in your basket isn't safe.

[alibobbin]

Got mine, but it was 0900 and had memorised my details to make it quicker!

First time in a Tipi, can't wait!!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Someone in the balance payment thread is saying they had tipi availability at 9.18am

[kalifire]

When I went in at about three minutes past nine, none were left. Incredible, really!

[alibobbin]

According to the thread on twitter, they sold out within a few minutes.

I think you can email them and they will put you on a waiting list

[CaledonianGonzo]

Does seem that demand was unusually astronomical this year. I'd definitely be trying to get on any sort of waiting list that they have.

Not surprising considering how far away a lot of people were in the camper fields last year. 25 minute walk to the pedestrian gate in some case. Like mine!

[CaledonianGonzo]

How did you get on Nal?

[The Nal]

Got a camper pass. Have the van booked already. Hoping two others in our group get resale tickets.

I'd tent it as I have loads of times before or get a tipi as I like being on site but the missus wouldn't. She likes the comfort!
