I wasn't even there this year and I still find the dismantling of the site f'ing depressing! 

Lol, I was thinking exactly the same and I wasn't there this year either. Kinda sad seeing all the vendor stalls all shut up after 5 days of madness and the camping fields slowly emptying. Weird feeling seeing that from home. I know if I was there I would just feel knackered now and want to get offsite now to get the obligatory KFC from Gordano services along with the other thousands of Glasto punters!

I think people are definitely spending a little more on their tents these days, and as a result are much more likely to take them home.

 

Every other tent is now a F&B, and although not overly expensive, they are much more likely to be packed away than cheap £20 efforts. The number of cheap ASDA types (remember the old black and red ones?) definitely seems to be a lot lower.

Thought this tent had been abandoned early on, turns out there were 2 guys in it at the time 😂

 

Obviously got a bit too warm in there, as by Sunday they'd cut massive slits in the sides (so it looked like a sh*t birdwatching hide). It was still there when we left on Monday

Lol - I've seen little tents pop up that are basically collapsed and someone basically comes back at 6am every morning and just pulls the whole mess over them like a blanket, sleeps it off then vanishes from midday for another manic substance fuelled night. Respect.

On the Saturday morning 1 of them was sleeping outside and half on top of the tent (neighbours put out a towel over a camping chair to stop him burning to a crisp). The 1 still in the tent wasn't happy.

There was one abandoned near me that was exactly the same tent. Must be a poor design 😅

    • The only number I can find is 90k, but it doesn't really break it down in the way you're asking so it is up in the air in that regard. My only thing here is that I don't think Leeds is in danger or is flagging in sales. I thought last year had an awful lineup so I opted out but apparently a hell of a lot of people decided to go, so I really do believe it is just us lot all being out of touch with what the modern R&L audience wants.   I do think this year has a good lineup although I know a lot of people on here disagree with that, so I am gonna be there and we shall see what it is like on the ground this year in terms of attendance.

    • Some good shouts there (although no thanks to Cliff)  what about Culture Club or Britney Spears ?

    • Hi, I'm selling 1 regular weekend ticket for 420 euros, which is the price I bought it for through TicketSwap (when I sell it there again, I can only get back 350 euros because of their ridiculous service fees..). Can transfer the ticket through Ticketmaster after Paypal payment. Feel free to send a DM!
