new here? introduce yourself

[hmmmloddy]

I've been lurking here for 5 years and this will be my fourth Glastonbury. After success in the coach resale last night I thought it should start trying to give something back to the place where I've got so much useful information and entertainment. I also, weirdly, feel like I personally know some of the regular posters because of the amount of time I've spent on these boards. Anyway, hey ho and hello all, time to get stuck in!

Hello to all ex- lurkers who have posted recently. Let lurking be a thing of the past for you.

Hi Everyone I'm Harry.

I've only recently created an account after being a lurker for a number of years. this is the first time I am going to Glastonbury, I am also going solo this year so I'm trying to get into some of the solo camper groups. I've been booked onto the coach from London to Glastonbury and I look forward to meeting/messaging you all!

Hello Harry.

Welcome to the forum.

Another lurker here, but wanted to join in the excitement this year. After a rather unsuccessful resale this morning, I will be back volunteering for the 7th time. Excited to get back in the field!

Hey all! New to this site and new to Glastonbury - first visit and going solo so hoping to meet some folks on here and pick up some useful tips! Only got a ticket in the resale hence late arrival here, leaving on 8am coach from London on the Wednesday, and managed to book a place in Ziggucamp yesterday after missing out on the accommodation resale. Am too old not to have proper showers etc...Anyone else camping there or have experience of them? All tips and advice appreciated! ?

Hi everyone,

Completely new here! My first year trying for tickets and have failed miserably in all sales ☹️ Hoping being here will give me some help in finding competitions I can enter and hopefully updates on ‘secret sales’ that may happen!

congrats to all the lucky people with tickets

Lots of catching up to do then

[sprocketrocket]

Not new per se just not been on here for about 5 years. Not managed to get tickets for the last few.. but got through on Sunday so my clan are on our way back. I'd given up and lost my enthusiasm for it, but seeing a hot chip clip on another thread from last time we were there has got me properly excited again now. Also got Bearded Theory and Truck festival to look forwards to this year. 

[LIZY]

Hi Im Liz. I have a ticket but really hoping to get another for my friend ?

[LIZY]

Just wondering if anyone has any tips on the unadvertised resale of last batch of tickets refunded? Thanks

[Aliciaaaaaa]

Hi, I’m Alicia. After years and years of wanting to go to Glastonbury me and husband finally got a ticket in the resale this year. Can’t put into words how happy I am. I have so so many questions and will likely bore you all to death. Have had pretty severe conjunctivitis since getting the ticket on Sunday so am only able to see today.. cannot wait to sit back and scroll through this forum, love it!!

[Foxyknoxy]

Hi first timer here been wanting to go for years but finally I’m going. I’ve been lurking around here since October when we were successful. I’m going with a large group of 20 and only me and another are first timers. Very excited and have gotten lots of great tips from you all on here. 

[Avalon_Fields]

Welcome to all those joining us...your levels of excitement will be ramped up by following the threads below! There’s so much going on...

[Brad75]

Been lurking since I got tickets in October after missing out in 2017. Been wanting to go to Glastonbury since I was a regular at all other festivals between 1992 and 1997 but unfortunately other priorities until now. I really can't wait to go level of excitement akin with getting stone roses tickets at Heaton Park after waiting for 22 years because missed seeing them before they split the first time. Bit gutted with line up this year but I am sure there will be plenty to see just made up I finally got tickets.

Hi everyone, like many before me I’ve been lurking on the forum for a while. This will be my second glastonbury after successfully getting tickets in the Sunday resale. This forum became a big part of my build-up/excitement in 2017 so thought it was only fair I joined the fun!

Nice one. Welcome TheDazzler.

Evening everyone,

I'm OJ, originally from Cumbria but now Manchester and 2019 will be my 5th Glastonbury.

I've found out so much invaluable info from efestivals and had plenty of laughs reading the posts without posting myself, so thought this year I'd try to get more involved.

I'm staying in East Campervan Fields with 3 friends.

Catch you around.

Greetings Glastonbury-lovers! (in Alan Freeman voice)

I'll be a whopping 67-years-old next month and this will be my 16th, incredibly. I discovered this other-worldly celebration of the joy of life in late middle-age after seeing coverage on Channel Four and determining to find out for myself. I picked-up a spare ticket from Radstock Tourist Information and checked-in to a B&B in Evercreech before cycling to Pilton. Needless to say I was "literally blown away" (as the youngsters say) when I entered the site and experienced the unique sense of excitement.

After a few years I discovered the wonderful Lost Horizon Sauna up in the Tipi Field and became a regular visitor. Eventually they invited me to join the crew and this year I'll be on-site for 10 days, helping with the set-up, acting as a kitchen boy and chopping wood for the sauna. It's an extraordinary experience and the crew are a lovely bunch of cool characters. 

I do feel slightly guilty when I read of the trauma of those who couldn't get tickets and I'm forever humbled to be chosen to help at Lost Horizon. If you're passing the Tipi Field (just above Pennard Hill Ground) do pop-in and we'll show you around. It's a beautiful little haven of peace and everyone is welcome (well, not the idiots, obvs!)
