Acid Loafers Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I decided to dive right in already, but here's a late intro. Been lurking these forums since trying for Glasto 2016 tickets, missed out completely and didn't read much more. Tried again in 2017 and was much more successful! Got a coach ticket on Thursday (which according to some, losing one day at the festival was like losing a child). Had an amazing time and prepared soooo bloody much by reading a lot more threads on here, started recognizing a few power users. In the Fallow year, I popped in and out to fill the void in my heart and see how everyone else was coping. And now I've managed to get tickets for 2019 and decided to make an account to be part of the conversation. My writing is really bad, I was born in London but moved at a young age so I speak fluently but expressing myself in writing can be a struggle. I write how I think, a bit messy. Let me know if something doesn't make sense or I wrote three paragraphs without a full stop or making any sense at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeOfMolly Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hi everyone! I'm currently studying event management at university and have a keen interest in festival sustainability. I'm now in the process of writing my dissertation and it would be great if other keen festival go-ers could answer a couple of questions to help me with my findings. My dissertation is about the sustainability around festivals from an attendees perspective so if you enjoy attending music festivals and the reusable/sustainable elements of these events moving forward please go into as much detail as possible :) THANK YOU Every answer is making a poor stressed little student a bit less stressed https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/X6W6Q5K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real HJ Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hi all. I'm going to Glastonbury this year and I heard about this place off a friend so I thought I'd give it a go! This will be my first Glastonbury, what should I expect? What parts of this forum would you recommend to a newbie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS94 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Lurking since possibly 2011? (I remember hearing of the secret Green Day set at Reading 2012 from these boards at the time) but finally decided to register, because I just absolutely love spouting my own bollocks opinions. Had always wanted to go to Glastonbury since 2012, finally managed to get my friends onboard in 2017, best festival we'd ever done, done various Readings/Sonispheres/Bestivals over the years as well.

Bennykill Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hello, thought I would drop a post to say hello. I have got tickets for next years Glastonbury, only the second time I have been (first time was 1994 so will be nice to actually see the pyramid stage). will be interesting to see how much the festival has changed over the last 25 years. I go to 5 or 6 festivals a year so will be nice to give a comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I congratulate you on getting the golden tickets, you are in for one hell of a show. Unfortunately I didn't in the general sale but shall maybe try in April, maybe not. Been many times and always happy for others to enjoy for the first time, every cloud and all that. My misfortune is somebody else's fortune. Shall reserve my right to be extremely jealous.

muffled oars Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Not new but a returnee. Have posted sparingly over the years and snuck in on three efest meets, I find it is too easy to spend way too much time on various fora here and there so deliberately ration myself “out of season”. But now we are on the downhill run to the great day, so dipping a tentative toe into the efest waters once more!

thrillhouse188 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hey all, thought I'd finally join here now I'm doing my first Glastonbury this year! Always half assed trying to get tickets in the past, came in with a proper strategy and a group of 6 this year and it paid off! Been a while since I've been to a festival, did V 2010 and then Reading 2011-2013, and was a regular on the Reading forums before they shut down (RIP). Interested to see how I get on now I'm a bit older (24 but feel 42)! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padjeq Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi. My name is Padje. Not sure how a q got in my screenname but there you go. I was drawn here by the line-up speculation for what's going to be my second ever glastonbury. I saw over 90 bands last year, mostly at gigs and I wanna see as much as I can this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
