The process for getting tickets is one of the million questions I have!

My mum is adamant that if you've been for 10 years you should have some sort of loyalty ribbon 🤣 if only!

33 years this year. I've earned enough points for a helicopter entrance.

Haven't been since 2017 not for the want of trying 😂 just managed to bag myself a stewarding position with Oxfam which I'm very much looking forward to and seeing it from a different perspective. My first time was 2004 and what a year that was. I'm happy as a pig in sh1t 🥳🥳

Long time lurker but feeling brave enough to start my posting journey today in all the excitement... 2011 was my first Glastonbury and indeed my first festival...what a mind blowing experience that was😄 Lucky enough to return last year and now obsessively refreshing the forum pages more often than I probably should in my excitement at being able to return to the farm next month.

The best thing though? I'm bringing three newbies along with me this year...I can't wait for them to get there and take it all in...roll on 5 weeks time!

 Best stages/areas to experience?

Obviously it's a matter of opinion, but IMO West Holts is by some distance the best of the larger stages.

Best overall line up every year, best sound quality and here's the controversial bit - best quality crowds.

Hello long time lurker first time poster today. This will be my third glasto and I Love reading the weather thread in the run up. I've been so lucky with the weather so far. First glasto was 2017. That Wednesday afternoon probably the hottest day I've ever experienced, and I've lived in Vietnam for a while. The other one was 2019 which was perfect weather throughout. This year I'm prepared for whatever, it's still the best week of the year no matter what.

Have only been to reading before so it’s my first glastonbury this year , having to do it alone as my brother wasn’t able to get a ticket. So quite anxious but very much looking forward to it. Any tips or comments welcome. ☺️

How's it going everyone? Was a regular the festival for years then stopped going just before C19 and went to Love International in Croatia for 3 or 4 years running (amazing...) - Somehow managed to get a Glasto ticket this time around so heading down with a few pals.  

Really looking forward to this year and praying the weather holds... Have a blast everyone! x

Have been lurking on here for a few weeks now as going to Glastonbury this year for the second time (2022 was my first), but found myself drawn in to posting in the crap beer thread. Hi all.

Hi! Tiesto. There’s not much old school trance at glasto! 😂
 

As a second year, what’s your one thing you want to change or do better this year than last year? 😀

Haha, its a rather old nickname now, given to me by some kiwi's who were struggling to pronounce my surname (which also begins with a T but isn't that close to Tiesto) 😆 Do also enjoy a bit of DJ tiesto from time to time though!

As for my second year, I think the major thing I want to change is actually staying at the festival for the full time! Last year, I had friends getting married on the Friday, so had to leave the festival very early on Friday morning and got back to it Saturday morning. And as our coach only arrived at about 8/9pm on the Thursday, it meant I never got to do any exploring and the whole time I was there was either listening to acts I really wanted to see or partying. Still had an insanely good time though and the scale of it blew my mind.

This year, its definitely all about exploring at a much slower pace on Friday/Saturday/Sunday mornings (again, unfortunately we're on a Thursday afternoon coach).

    • 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.
