My boyfriend cheated and we're meant to be going...should I still go alone?

[carrie2]

Heya

 

What is the outcome, are you still going along? I am in exactly the same predicament and can't decide.

 

I had resigned myself to not going but now really really tempted....

 

Definitely go! If you're still debating it at this stage it sounds like the only thing causing you doubt is nerves, which I also get the day before every year and I haven't regretted going once!  

[tiffpietiff]

humph. True...

 

I have nothing sorted though, no travel, no tent, no sleeping bag. And noone to meet.

 

I don't know if it is best to go when not in a great place emotionally, might struggle

 

I'd be willing to bet that half the people on this forum (all about the stats today) are in a similar situation. 

 

You've got a day or two, plenty of time. And the stress of getting there will be more than worth the catharsis of being there. 

 

Edit: and you're wrong on that last point - you've got 150,000 people to meet.

You can buy everything you need on site. You just need a bag of clothes and sort out the travel.

Personally, I think you should go. You'll be in the best place in the world with amazing people. Emotionally, I couldn't think of a better place to get over someone (as bad as that sounds) and you'll have one of the best weekends of your life. There's a mass crowd of us going so more than welcome to join.

First time for me on my own without my ex partner and I am very anxious but I know when I get there I will love it, worst that can happen I go home but I will have at least made the effort so there will be no regrets

 

If you watch it on tv over the weekend it will make you very sad !.  

[bethannny]

Go!

Quick trip to a decathlon or something similar tonight for the kit you need e.g. Tent. Crate of drinks. Chuck some clothes into a bag.

Then book a train ticket from the nearest train station to you to Castle Cary. And back. Shuttle bus to the site!

I'm going solo too and meeting up with a whole group of solo people, so message me and I'll send you my number. If you're arriving after I am (middayish, hopefully) give me a ring and I'll direct you into the camp. Instantly you'll make 60 new friends (we're a big group!) and have a fantastic time.

Guaranteed.

[Picles]

I'm going in a big group as well, you're all welcome to join! Message me for my number if you want

There's nothing like good fun and new friends to get over the problems!

[Heather90]

I thought I'd add some encouragement. I split up with my boyfriend of over 6 years just before ticket day. I booked the tickets with an acquaintance on a bit of a whim whist in an emotional blur. 

 

I've fought with giving my ticket back loads of times. I'm going with one person I know and loads of people she met there last year. I had to work today so I'm getting the bus on my own and meeting them there. I barely know anyone, havent't camped since I did Duke of Edinburgh about 9 years ago. I

only bought my wellies yesterday...

 

I'm so anxious but I'm determined to enjoy it. My ex said I'd never cope at a festival thats why I never went before. Don't regret it, you can always leave early if its that bad..

[Sachet88]

Yes, I am going! Come camp in Camp Solo with me!

[siobhanalforf]

Thanks for the overwhelming response guys. I will message those that mentioned it with number

 

Where is camp solo?! 

 

IF I do go I don't think I can get there till Thursday. I would have to just buy a little pop up tent - will there be room to squeeze it in.

 

Love the Glasto community btw :)

Any of your ex-boyfriends look like me by any chance?

 

If so, then take a chance on me. 

 

(Very sorry that I've quoted Abba)

[tomph]

There will be loads of room for a small tent!  Go for it!

[JohnnyMilb]

My friend was in a similar situation last year and had a ball - there are groups on facebook for solo travellers - we kept trying to meet up with her but she was too busy with her 'new mates' 

 

I think they meet at the Cider Bus on Thursday -

 

You only live once

[Mrs*E*]

Hope you're going, there are lots of lovely people on here, even if you stay just a couple of days, at least you wont let HIM spoil it for you. good luck on you and i hope you have a great time.

[Extrajordonary]

You should 100% go, It's my first time and I'm also going alone, It's still going to be fun. You'll meet plenty of new people.

Jack! Are you camp solo? Or going with people?

[GasheadJack]

Jack! Are you camp solo? Or going with people?

 

I'm (currently) not going for the first time in 6 years. 

 

Don't spose you took your ex's ticket, as some kind of sweet revenge?

 

Here's hoping!    

 

Oh and that he would look like me. 

[KeithRichardsWavedAtMe]

Definitely go. I'll buy you a drink!

 

Mr lover lover

[stuartbert two hats]

Plus if you go you'll either fucking love it all or if you don't you can just leave.

Better than missing some of it and not knowing and regretting it later.

That's a good point.  They don't lock you in!

Im sure we're able to save a space for you in camp solo, there are even 1 or 2 that dont arrive until friday

[A Guy Called Matt]

To all those unsure if they should go:

 

GO - just do it and you will not regret it.

 

Camp Solo will help you out as said by lots and you will meet people who will become lifelong friends.

 

 

If you do not go you will regret it by tea time on Friday.

Ha, no. He did offer me his ticket but I said nah thanks you're alright.

[GasheadJack]

Ha, no. He did offer me his ticket but I said nah thanks you're alright.

 

Worth a shot 

 

Have a brilliant time, you'll bloody love it!

Go go go go and meet people at efests tom night. You'll have a blast. If you don't like it, you could leave early....

[irenebaque]

Hi!

 

Have you decided to go? We are doing a video about solo-goers and would like to get in touch with you. Could you email me? irenebaque {at} gmail.com

 

 

I've never done a festival before and my boyfriend has decided to cheat on me, so now I'm all alone with a ticket to Glasto. Should I still go? I'd like to meet new people but I'm quite shy!
