Hi All, Now I know this won't make up for the fact you're still trying for glasto tickets but I have 2 weekend tickets for the Sound City festival in Liverpool this weekend (won them but can't go

I have just realised someone gave me 2 downvotes too in this thread yesterday, just for asking politely for a link? Made me a bit sad tbh as I'm new here and now my rep is horrible

This thread is titled 'Secret Resales'. That was the whole point. However it now seems to have been high-jacked by people advocating getting in illegally. Hardly the spirit of Glastonbury. We all know

can you imagine, we would be camped out front about a month beforehand telling each other knob jokes and generally needing a shower!

Last night a woman in a van offered me a shower... so maybe I just always look like I need one anyway. 

But that sounds fun - lets do it!

A couple of years back when the Dalai Lama was there. They had a little peaceful garden at the bottom of the stone circle field, where he was doing a speech one morning. He had a big wooden throne like seat that was roped off for the whole festival before his speech. 

One night my group were walking past and a couple were - lets say defiling said throne - They got caught by one of he helpers with a lantern and escorted off!

in 2015 shortly after arriving on site, the zip broke on one of my bags. phone, money, cards, camera..all gone! i hadnt even got to my tent, then one of my friends phone rang, it was a girl who had my phone and said she would leave it at property lock up. took me about an hour to get to, but my money and cards were also there. almost prepared to give up on my camera and start the festival, my friend suggested asking at this little crew tent which i would have walked past..they had my camera! i got it all back! Will never know who the lovely people were who handed back my things, but i believe in karma and they are due a whole lot of the good stuff! most glasto goers are unbelievably kind and honest. :wub:

Dodgy tent stories? Like many mine was my at my first Glastonbury back in 1989. I turned up with what I thought as a teenager was a perfectly good tent. It wasn't, it was probably a play tent too and made of canvas. It had half a pole and about 3 tent pegs, no way of doing up at the front and it  partially collapsed after a few hours. I came back to the campsite after a couple of days to find it flat on the ground with evidence it had been used as a handy skinning up dry area. As a teenager it didn't bother me and I was better off than a mate who arrived on a motorbike with what he stood up in, he slept crosslegged on a plastic bag

I actually won my first tickets with a radio station, I had a very vip experience for my first time. I was a lucky bugger! 

How did it feel to go non VIP after that? A bit of a tumble back down to earth I bet ;)

I preferred it. Some of the folks in the hospitality campsite were (dare I say it) a little bit up stuck  ;) all my friends were in the campsites and i missed camping with them, I did manage to sneak one in for a shower though haha.

I've been going to Glastonbury since 1990, hanging around these forums for longer than I care to remember but.... I don't know the Philipa story? I've seen Philipa mentioned on a number of occasions though. Can somebody give me the full story please?

she was trying to entice the fine young efests men folk to her van for toasted cheese sandwiches or something

BTW I love this story telling! More tales of Glastos gone by please! 

Here's another one from me, and I wonder how many other people made this mistake. I bought my tent from Woolies, it looked nice and brightly colored, compact and lightweight, and a reasonable price. Perfect! I didn't want to have that whole 'it's suddenly bigger than the packaging it came in' problem, so I didn't bother opening it before Glasto. We get to Kidney Mead and everyone opens a few beers before turning to the task of setting up our tents. So I'm several beers deep, feeling a little tipsy, and I open up my new tent and... it's tiny. I climb in it to see if maybe it's just a trick of the light, but no, it is TINY. Laying down in it, I could fit my upper body in and that was it. Turns out I'd bought a kid's play tent.

And it wasn't waterproof.

I had a blinding time though. Each night I'd go back and climb 'in' my tent, leaving my wellies on, legs sticking out. By the third night it had partially collapsed. Nothing dampened my spirit. I love Glasto <3

This is truly wonderful! God I love Glastonbury
