Hi, I've been a lurker/browser for a few years, finally got my act together and created an account.... Hoping to make it to the effects meet this year. 

Same here! Well, have been lurking for the last couple years anyway. This efests was a life-saver last year when we were planning for our first Glastonbury, so glad to have finally sorted myself out an actual account.

Dan from Los Angeles here. Been lurking on the boards for a couple of years ever since I started kicking around the idea of a Euro 2016/Glastonbury trip, and I'll be on a plane next Thursday.

I know Glastonbury will be way different than Coachella or Outside Lands, but I can't wait to see how different.

My first Glastonbury was the mudfest that was 1997, and i've been to every one since then.
After having well and truly done my time in the queues at 5am, pulling the trolley through mud and lugging other peoples tent's we have finally bought our first camper van!

I've been avidly reading all the campervan threads, and i'm excited all over again to be experiencing my favourite place on the planet from a whole new perspective! The vibe on Tuesday night in the CV fields sounds ace and it feels like i've gained an extra day at Glasto!

 

 

 

Are you me? :blink: This is exactly me.

I joined prior to my first Glastonbury in 2013 and was given loads of good advice. Almost didn't go as none of my friends managed to get tickets so it was just me and my son (who was 21 at the time). Loved it (of course) and went back in 2014. Didn't manage to get tickets last year so couldn't face looking at the forum.

 

This is year I'm planning on being there with my husband, my son and his girlfriend. Slight spanner in the works is that I was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer and need surgery, but I'm hoping that can be delayed until after Glastonbury. The consultant looked horrified when I suggested it, but admitted the delay wouldn't be detrimental to my health. People who don't go to Glastonbury just don't understand!

My consultant was the same when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We'd been offered precious VIP tickets to Strictly Come Dancing by one of the judges so I asked the surgeon to delay the lumpectomy op for a few days.

Happily he agreed, we went to SCD and, afterwards, I was so high from the drugs after the op that I was dancing up and down the ward of women he'd already operated on that day, showing them how to do a fleckle!

Hi all, I'm Cheryl. Posted a question on here a few days ago so thought it might be nice to chat to some other forum users :) I've been to lots of festivals but this will be my third Glastonbury. The last time I went was in 2000 so I'm interested to see how it's changed in 16 years! I got tickets through the main sale and will be staying in the east campervan field.

Hi, just wanted to follow suit and introduce myself. It will be my 3rd Glastonbury and have read this forum for some very useful tips over the years....love the house music thread in particular. I will be travelling in a fantastic group of 8 with 5 virgins. Wishing all a fantastic festival. Cheers Jamie

Hi, just joined and created a dumb username. Anyways, Glastonbury... can't wait. I inadvertently am headed out alone this year. If there are any other solos please let me know as it would be good to get a group started. :

Welcome - there are loads of people going on their own who are all planning to camp together in the Darble field. See the Camp Solo thread to find out more so you can get in contact with the organiser. It sounds like a fun place.

Very long time lurker. Been to Glastonbury since 2003, but not his year.

Finally coming to terms with not going so just wanted to say have a great time to everyone that is.

Also wanted to say this forum feels like the online version of Worthy farm.

Enjoy, hope to see you next year

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
