Chris_Hayter88 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) I'm planning on going to Glastonbury (fingers crossed I can get a ticket) for the first time next year and I am going on my own. Am I right in thinking there is a group on here for loners? Is there anyone else in this position and fancies meeting up? Not interested in causing trouble and I enjoy a drink or two.

Spindles Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 This year a fine young man by the name of charlie organised our solo camp and it was a great success, I would expect someone will pick up the baton and do the same in 2016.

stuartbert two hats Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 A new loners group emerges every year. The problem with a recurring group is that if a 'loners group' is full of people who always camp together then it's not a loners group any more, it's a clique. This actually happened a few years ago. In short, I'm sure you'll find lots of solo festivallers to camp with, but there's not a specific group in existence at the moment. Why not start one? Although I'd wait until after T day.

bethannny Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Like Spindles (Hi!) I was part of the solo group this year and I expect I'll be doing the same again next year - tickets permitting, obviously! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Not interested in causing trouble and I enjoy a drink or two. I think you've just stated two fairly critical points up front Chris. I like your style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlei Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Alternative you could join the Recycling Crew. Hard work, but you get a free ticket and you're automatically flung in with a group of peeps, so it's easy to make friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i ever meet ME I am going to ask for his autograph & sly it at the bottom of a contract guaranteeing me a Glastonbury ticket for life. I don't mind paying each year of course.

I think we'll be reprising Camp Solo for those who got tickets but I'm sure others are more than welcome to join us. Got mine today too guys! Happy to see you through as well. Seems my ticket luck has continued for a second year - managed to get all of my group of 9(!)'s tickets this morning after failing for myself in the coach sale. So in a surprise plot twist I'm not going to be part of the solo group this year! Found some friends last year that I'm going to be setting up camp with. I'm honestly a little gutted inside that I won't be part of the madness again! Can we engineer a camp-solo social at some point?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommywillo Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hi. The coach drop off is at gate A mate, Loads and loads of campsites so best to google glastonbury map 2016 and have a lil look at that. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
