Ticket Competitions

[Fingerbobs]

There's not much interest in south of the railway line is there? I guess with two picks already coming from that side everyone is hunting in the northern squares.

So as landmarks go... Which has the lowest selection?

it was nearly impossible for me to use both the real map and the EE map and then the graph, it would have been so unreadable but so far The Glade, Avalon, West Holts, Circus, Pilton Palais, Bandstand, William's Green, Silver Hayes, The Park but again it could always be random selection. Who knows.

I understand they picked the stone circle like, just initially thought they were gonna stick to the main stages so the stone circle kinda threw me off because there are landmarks everywhere

It's just random.... It'll be the tiny tea tent or Strummervile next

Is the Tiny Tea Tent not a major landmark?

I don't know .... One of those hidden gems. I think Florence worked there before she joined The Machine

I still haven't heard anything on radio 1 Xtra has anyone else? Did the Unison one amount to anything for members?

 

Still getting over the sacred space M18 which I chose not to do yesterday. Just scoffed two vanilla cupcakes to compensate!

Last year the BBC Radio 1 and 6Music competitions were the week before the festival .... 6Music was hard like Who headlined in 1983

the sort of questions you need to google for unless you were there

Do you mean Radio X by any chance? The closing date's not till the 30th, so nothing till next week. I think the Unison one was closed.

Okay. Thanks for the info. It's really cutting it fine a week before. If I enter I'm going to lie about my age as it's obviously for regular listeners age15-32 demographically! Plus if you've got a family who on earth can just up sticks and go?

Us lot are exception to the rule. I'm ready anytime!!!!  

I was referring to someone over 30 who just randomly enters a competition the week before the festival and has to organise leave from work, pet care etc with seven days notice. 

I'd be there if I won a competition on the 22nd!

[D_Cole]

I have the time booked off just incase! It'll be an added surprise to colleagues if I turn up that week - although I will miserable so maybe not!

My kids are probably just as desperate as me for us to win tickets. If only they were eligible to enter the competitions

It really is just as good for kids as us! My daughter went at 7 months and one and a half and had a splendid time! I feel as bad for her not getting to go to the kidz field as I do for us grown ups.  

How old are your kids?

Was that Dolly? I was up near the back beside the floating blow up Dolly which was hilarious.  My husband went off to the Other Stage and missed it.  I'm sad now.  I want to goooooooo ; (

My boys are 8 and 4, eldest has been 3 times and youngest 2. They're itching to go back, we missed out on tickets last year too, youngest in particular doesn't quite grasp why we can't just go again! I absolutely adore the kidz field, as do they. Glastonbury is magical with kids but in a completely different way.

Dolly. Cried my eyes out to Coat of many colours and tried the dance (that nobody did) to Jolene. Thought she was great. Glastonburry!! Lol. Biggest audience ever supposedly? 

Sorry for the photos. My house is covered in Glasto memories X
