Many thanks.

I'll be more active come ticket time but I thought I'd be prepared.

Welcome, things are reasonably quiet at the moment but the craziness is due to start pre ticket sales day and the wild unsubstantiated headliner speculation

Long time reader of efestivals. Invaluable source of info

 

I have been to Glastonbury for the last few years as part of a ticket group / syndicate. Mainly friends

 

For one reason or another, mainly weddings and arrival of babies, they have all dropped out

 

I am looking to maximise my chances of securing tickets for next year

 

If you are a looking for a reliable member of your Glasto ticket group / syndicate - please let me know

 

Happy to provide whatever info gives you comfort that I am serious and not currently part of any other groups

 

Thanks!

Hi 👋

 

New member here, trying for 2025. How have you managed such success with tickets? Being in group of 6? Even working in a group that seems like great luck with all those years attended!

so various different ways over the years ..... I may have my years out a little here but from around 2002 - 2010 there wasnt such a demand for tickets so wasnt too bad getting them , a couple of years post that a local paper , western daily press gave the chance to buy tickets , and once we won them with that paper .... ive just been quite lucky personally on the ticket front too and its most often been me thats got through . 1 / 2 devices and only one tab . Covid year my big failure when I got my friends bus tickets and didnt bother myself and then failed in resale . Big spreadsheet of 100 plus setup on here and many helpers also from here got 95% plus tickets .. thanks everyone once again . We now have that spreadsheet group and we all try for everyone and happy to pay for everyone working to get everyone there , ive now learnt my lesson and have myself in both sales ... bus isnt perfect but a wed bus is better than missing out completely .

Hey all, looooong time lurker here, finally broke the seal on making a post yesterday during the build up to the usual ticket sale madness.

 

TL;DR: Hello!

 

Been lurking without an account for best part of 20 years. Attending Glasto was an experience I'd always wanted since starting to actively follow the lineups and performances in 1994 as a 16-year-old. However growing up in Reading meant that it was kinda silly not to go there instead for my self-prescribed one-festival-a-year and so I spent my teenagerdom and early adulthood at Little John's Farm rather than Worthy Farm (1995-2002, 2004-2005, missing 2003 as I got married).

 

After 2005 I "retired" from weekend festivals for a number of reasons: at 27 years old I had felt old at Reading given the demographic and also as physically making it through 4-5 days of camping was no longer a total breeze (at 27! What little I knew!). We were also starting a family and my daughters arrived in 2006 and second in 2009.

 

That kinda put the brakes on any festivalling for a few years, but every year I watched the coverage avidly and jealously.

 

After devouring the festival coverage once more on iPlayer in 2017 I resolved to go. Of course then 2018 was fallow. And then I kept finding myself unprepared for how early the sales were, not managing to round up a group friends to go with or just plain stupidly missing them. Not to mention the 4 years of not-actually-possible-to-go-and-omg-the-demand from 2020-2023 due to The Thing That Happened.

 

Finally, in 2023, I'd managed to get everything in place -- I had a group! I had remembered when the ticket sale was! We somehow got through the queue to get tickets! And, this year, I finally made it to Glastonbury. An almost indescribable experience. Just... Amazing.

 

And so to Glastonbury 2025. Somehow the Glastonbury gods have been smiling on me again and I was lucky enough to get through for tickets in the coach tickets sale (I don't drive, so being successful in this sale was relatively important to me!). And, this year, I will be taking my youngest daughter so I can give her the experience as a 16-year-old that I had first wanted at the same age.

 

See you in the fields! ❤️

Newly registered here today. I've lurked without an account a long time ago for Glasto news in the early 2000s and occasionally drop in on the APE London threads for ticket offers. Heading back to this year for the first time since 2007. Going solo and so I will be looking out for threads with camping tips etc, I use to camp up Pennard Hill way.

 

Fond memories of the cider bus and silent disco and the randomness and even some of the mud though hoping for none of that next year of course.

    • 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.
