Lucy92 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 So after being unsuccessful in worthy view today do we think they will go back on randomly or will there be a main secret resale? Also, for the two person options do any include what feels like a bed (so raised and not on the floor) I've never stayed in one before so wasn't sure what they are like. Got such awful back pain last year want to treat myself and the boy to a little luxury but not sure what you get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy92 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Also, what's the likelihood of a two person podpad going back on? Guessing it's pretty slim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo1980 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hi Lucy, we stayed in a two man podpad two years ago and it definitely felt more like a bed. It is essentially a wooden shelf (you have to bring your own air bed to put on top) but being level and raised does help a lot. Unfortunately, I would be surprised if any come back on sale as there were so few (although they might have increased capacity this year). From memory I would say there were max 30 of them, compared with hundreds of scout tents. Worth keeping an eye on it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodiles Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 If last year anything to go by think 2 and 4 or 6 berth tents only ones that came on resale . They seemed to appear a lot more than this year .must be more popular. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but if you hear of any let me know last year was a real struggle for me and that was with a hospitality pass so anything to make it a little easier this year would be great (I have lupus so tiredness/joint pain) the idea of a bed sounds great to me haha!

Have a look at Tangerine Fields. They're the other side of the site, but similar pricing. reviews are good. they may operate a waitlist, worth asking xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have booked for the first time a pod and I thought on the website it says it comes with air mattresses. On the website it says "Weatherproof, with a solid carpeted floor and raised beds with inflated air mattresses, creating useful storage space underneath." Has anything changed from 2 years ago? Did any one stay in one last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havors Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 This was tweeted yesterday after the resale.... hope the people wanting tipis, tickets or worth view spotted it... See Tickets ✔ @seetickets A resale of a limited number of campervan tickets, tipis and Worthy View accommodation for @glastofest will follow shortly.

I stayed there last year and returning this year. It's much quieter than the main festival and found myself feeling much less shattered by the weekend. I usually book the Tuesday off work to recover, but last year found I really didn't need to and was left at home pottering about. The drive home on monday was much safer too!
