Yo, 2nd timer here though the last time I went I was a 20 year old halfwit and this time I return a few weeks before my 40th, still a halfwit but with a switched on 12 year old daughter in tow to keep me out of trouble.  Joking aside we're both over the moon to be coming. See you all there!

Newbie here. Unfortunately fell foul to seetickets glitchy website for the main full ticket sale (got all the way through to payment, then the pay button didn't work!) but managed to get Sunday tickets.

Lived in the local area all my life but never realised I was eligible for Sunday tickets lol, so this will be my first time!

welcome and good luck .... theres a meet-up and solo camping stuff closer to the time 

That'll be great, is it easy to find? I missed out on WV today (didn't realise they were on sale until tonight!) but keeping my fingers crossed. Otherwise I'll have to learn how to put a tent up! 😁

Newbie of the century here - never been to a concert, never been to a festival, despite almost 25 years of trying (chef hours and living in remote areas of Australia aren't helpful btw) - so planning to make a solo Glastonbury 2024 trip the event that breaks the seal 🙂 And if that doesn't work then I guess I'll try and try again hahaha! Look forward to reading your always (😉 😬) civilised and sensible comments and perhaps seeing some of you there (if I can get a - just one - ticket).

I've not been to a festival for over a decade. I was a complete festival nut before that - I've been to 13 Glastos and many other festivals in-between. My first Glasto was 1995.

This year, I got tickets for me and friends and we're traveling from Spain, and will be meeting old friends there. Campervan has been hired and I can't wait after such a break.

I'll be watching the forum like a hawk for updates 🙂

Figured I'd say hello , about 10yrs after I first posted.
First went 2008 ( the two of us, it was insanely overwhelming!). Met up with people from the forum in 2009 ( over 30's and the old gits). Did reasonably well with tickets after that ( except 2014/dolly 😞 ). 
But last time was 2019.... failed for 2020 ( and we all know what happened next)..

To say we're buzzing to be back is the understatement of the decade...

From reading this i'm assuming you'll be trying in the resales... in that case, good luck!!

Hi all, recently joined efests, although been an avid fan for many years. Got 2023 tickets with a big group of pals, been a few times before - 2016 and 2017 but failed to get them the following years. Looking to expand my knowledge of the festival and find some good tips. Hoping for an exciting line up soon. Nice to meet you all x

Welcome … we should get something fairly soon … but your guess is probably as good as any 😀

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
