Everyone on my list I think got a ticket.... not sure about one waiting to hear.

Bon Voyage.

Well done! I heard from Jason and I was trying for his friend but I only got through as it sold out.  I tried!

Nice one Thurlow wnd brighternow what a star for getting through 

feeling bit down for all those that missed out, including buddies .... After Thursday's success it seems like a lot of miss outs today, do you think they put on more coaches and weighted it towards coach resales ?

Thanks again @BrighterNow wouldnt be going if it wasnt for you

And thanks to everyone how helped try for me or anyone else on these forums

I'm SO happy I got through for you!  It was an amazing feeling.

It's been quite a day - after the emotion of resale day, I went down to Brighton to see my brother-in-law run in the marathon.  He was over the moon as he did it in less than 3.5 hours.  So more happiness there!  And I managed to see my other three friends who were running too.  And I walked over 9 miles (good practice for Glastonbury!)

Along with thurlow, BrighterNow also got mrs gumby a ticket this morning :) I've been solo once before, and would do it again if she couldn't go for some reason, but I can't deny I'm happier that we can now go together, along with gumby jr. We'll see you at one of the meets, BrighterNow, what's your tipple?

If I remember correctly she has sampled my concoction?! And liked it! Well done @BrighterNow, it's such a good feeling when you help someone with the golden ticket!

I have indeed, Curlygirl!  Most delicious it was too.  And you're right, it's an amazing feeling when you're able to help someone get a ticket.  I was really emotional yesterday morning.

Well, who wouldn't? She can sample my concoction all she likes in June! ;) 

Haha, there's an offer I can't refuse.  I do hope Mrs Gumby won't mind.

Actually, is it you who's bringing the pineapple gin?  Because if so, that's something I'd love to try.  A sip of pineapple gin will be all the thanks I need!

No, there are a few people who said they're planning to make that, but I wasn't one of them. I will be bringing a few homemade drinks, though. I'm planning to make some mince pie whisky, and some kind of flavoured vodka (possibly marmalade flavour, or peach melba). I'm also currently making some Seville orange wine, which might be ready in time.

Mmmmmm, marmalade or peach melba vodka sound delicious!  And you're right, Tommy - sometimes I get bored with the stuff on offer at pubs.  I'd definitely go to one that offered marmalade vodka, pineapple gin and cherry brandy!

I,d prob end up one of them who end up waiting for opening time shaking like a shitting dog outside the boozer wanting my fix of Pineapple gin and CG`s bakewell special, haha.

How long do these alcohol infusions take? If I started soon would I get a decent result in time for Glastonbury?

Most only take a couple of weeks at most, although the longer you leave them, the more flavour you get. There are some recipes that taste a bit harsh when first made, but improve with storage. I made orange brandy recently, that took ten days to infuse, but will be kept for several months to mature. I made mince pie whisky at Christmas, that took 2 weeks, but was ready to drink straight away. 

Have a look at www.boozedandinfused.com if you want some ideas.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
