new here? introduce yourself

[Rlm86]

Hi all 

 I have been member since 2014 but reintroducing myself as I have had a couple of years off due to not getting tickets and babies. I have previously been In 2015 and 2016. Just like everyone else, I am very keen for 2020 (not particularly fussed for the anniversary but because of missing out for 2 years and the fallow year).  So much so that I’m going back through the board and reading threads from the years I missed. 

Good luck to you all

Welcome back.  Don't read the posts from ticket day last year, they may trigger some type of anxiety.

Hi all, I used to be a member of this site in late 90s/very early 00 when I first went to Glastonbury. I remember members like William of Walworth and Sco77ie I think.

welcome back. 5co77ie is still posting here now and then, it'sw probably about 5 years since William has.

Hey all, been a long time since i’ve been around (probably 3 years) missed the last couple festivals for one reason or another but am determined to go this year even if solo! Still a few familiar names around I see, do you still do the efest meet (Wednesday I think?) Will have to dig my efest t-shirt out!

Hi

long time lurker - thanks to all the information over the years (especially the regulars).

Extra nervous about tickets this year so I feel the need to ask questions.

Hopefully my contributions will help others and the good karma will help me in the ticket lottery

[assorted]

also a long time lurker as i became interested in glastonbury festival many years ago.

decided to set my sights on going this year. i have a group of 9 i've convinced to try for tickets, all non-UK, we'll be trying from 5 time zones; both thursday and sunday. 6 that have never been (including me) and 3 who have been multiple times in the 90's but never since.

if all or some of us fail i'll still be trying for this whether it's hospitality/resale/whatever-it-takes as it took some convincing to pull this group together and it'll be even tougher to do it again in future years.

bought a gold membership today in anticipation of how much i'm going to be visiting this forum and with gratitude for how much information has already been helpful.

thanks again to all the regulars for all the help so far!

Once you've gone Gold you'll never go back. 

Good luck for the sales!

eFestivals is the best! Spend way too much time on here but God it keeps the Glasto spirit alive all year. Welcome newbies. It's full of great info and even better banter.

Last year managed to buy tix for six others. Will be trying on Sunday for my squad. If I get through twice I'll be checking back here to see if anyone is still trying and do what I can. Have those reg numbers at the ready people.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

6 of our group (including me) got tickets in the coach sale today and i believe it was from the good karma of signing up for Gold membership. 

obviously i will be buying Gold membership for any future ticket sales I participate in as should everyone else. :-)

Don't forget to upgrade your membership to GOLD lovely newbies. 
You know it's the right decision.

[irishsparks]

Hi, Hoping to get tickets this year, first year I'm planning on bringing my kids (5 and 1), really hoping we get tickets. Also interested to know a bit more about getting campervan tickets as have usually camped but we're wanting a bit of luxury this year what with the little ones. Anyway, hello all and good luck tomorrow!

[Simonsaid]

Hi. I’m Simon. Off to Glastonbury 2020, going solo this year. Hoping to find an area of the festival to camp that suits a guy celebrating his 40th (+10) birthday year. 

[carlosj]

Hi all, how did you all do? Simon, there are threads for solos to meet up on the fields, have a great birthday.

[Outsider]

My deal with the ticket Gods was to get gold membership if successful. Been lurking here since just before my first festival, V99. After 20 years it's high time to put something back. 

[TastyPasty]

Hi ? long time lurker and finally plucked up the courage to create an account. 

Stalking the threads really helped when my partner and I went to our first glasto in 2017. We managed to get tickets this year as well so thought I would attempt to join in with some of the discussions going on here. 

Cheeky first question. Does anyone know if there is a way to pay for gold membership without having a PayPal account? I can see that donations can be done without one. 

[Sargey Babes]

Hi, hello. I haven't lurked here at all to be honest but it's gonna be my firts year and I'm going solo so a lot of people recommended I check out this site, I like the layout and you all seem very lovely so far. I hope it worked out for everyone ticket-wise but obviously for those that didn't manage, I hope you have better luck in the re-sale or failing that, you manage to get away and do something else for next year.

Hey everyone, have been reading this site for the last few weeks and have found it to have a fantastic vibe with a really diverse range of characters.  It has also been incredibly helpful with regards to all things Glastonbury.

Despite me being a huge music lover, at the age of 46 I have never quite made it to any festival of any description until I decided to go to day one of Reading this year as I was in England at the time and thought it would be a cool idea.  Went with my wife and 2 kids (8 and 13) and was a bit worried as it has a really young age profile (16/18) and isn't really recommend for young kids.  We all had an absolute blast - they cannot stop talking about it!  I watch Glasto on TV every year and decided there and then that we needed to try to go to the big one.  With the help from the various tips on how to bag tickets I have found on this site, to my astonishment I hit the jackpot this morning and am now on cloud nine - so excited ?

While I enjoyed Reading hugely, I am becoming more and more aware that it doesn't compare to what is in store in June 2020.  Now just need to figure out how to get us all over there and where to camp etc - lots to learn!

I have decided to sign up to gold membership as I am looking forward to getting more involved round here and also as a thanks for all the help from everyone on here. ?

Looking forward to joining in the fun.  Thanks ?
