Currently veering madly between getting a credit card / taking out a loan to book hospitality tickets and paying £85 to buy a telescopic ladder. Terrible business, this. 

haha how much are they?

Treated myself to that story whilst soaking in the bath last night. Such a great read, but how he miraculously jumps over a hedge and lands on top of a selection of conveniently placed ladders, leaves me questioning some of it to be honest.

About £3k per person!!  The amount of time I've spent lurking here / refreshing the website over the past fortnight, I don't think I'll have a job for much longer to pay it off either. Maybe not the wisest plan!

Get a mate to wheel you in on a trolley. I swear it's a good idea!!

Through Gate D with a ticket is the ideal route, but I'd be interested to hear your backup

I would be interested in hearing your ideas. Apparently, the easiest way in is round the back of the Stone Circle. (That's what she said.)

I believe it would be possible, but risky as! I live locally and managed to get to the outer fence one year, but had no way of getting over. You have to go at night, avoid roads and checkpoints, and especially spotlights!

One thing I have noticed, the superfence at the top of the park area has been set back further this year so it's bordering the woodland.  No empty fields to run through in the open!

Am just about to start the commute home. Will report back later...

...could be one for the bucket list though.

Parked up in Tesco Shepton Mallet a few years ago in teh campervan, a few lads were standing in the next parking space. A car pulls up with a 'traders' parking ticket on the windscreen . One lad jumps in the front, the other puts his bottle of booze on the roof , then jump in the boot (hathcback). the driver of the car covers him with crates/blackets/bottles/shopping. They go to drive off

We jump out of van, and bang on the door of the car - the driver/passenger jump out of their skin, wind down their window to which we pass them the bottle that had been left of the roof, smile and shake their hand

Always wondered if the boy in the boot got in ok and had a great festival

Do traders cars and vans get searched on the way in every time ?

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
