Im not even sure what qualifies as 'family'... i certainly travel with my family but the youngest is 23 now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyblue Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 As you enter the East fields stewards ask if you want Family or non Family...two different directions. Not much difference really in closeness to Gate C but haven't seen any youngsters in non Family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyred Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 You could choose family / non family when booking the ticket. I think this is new this year. We chose family as I hope it is nearer the gate. in my head the dividing line is the road/track that cuts through the east cv fields I haven't seen much difference between any of the cv fields in terms of noise or partying - they all seem pretty quiet.

Yeah, it's new this year. My ticket says '1x EAST CAMPERVAN FAMILY/HIRE PITCH'. I believe that family are the fields nearest the gate (19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25), tho I'll only know with certainty when I drive in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok.. left side of the road.. you don't want to really be over the other side of the woods but front of 18 is not noticeably different to back of 19.. as long as it isn't Bath &West... !

foggy1010 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I bought the standard East Campervan ticket, I assumed Family was intended for children etc.. My partners parents are the ones using the Campervan and we are camping next to them. Is there any way to try and get close to the Festival entrance when they park us up? Or should i have bought a family ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are you planning on arriving? and are you travelling together.? normal circumstances are 'earlier you arrive, closer you get'..

BlueDaze Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 sorry tried to attach the link for the map : http://cdn.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/2017v1map.png we will get there early tuesday pm also.. If the fields Neil suggested (above) are designated family, they will likely have you in E18 which is fine.. Who knows, we may be neighbours... Lokk out for the black saab with a caravan and additional tent.. Enjoy.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyblue Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Thanks everyone for the info.....tickets etc come to me but No 1 son gets the tickets/campervan so am going to check with him to see if he got non family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeble Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Why would family be closer to the gate? Oh silly question, at my local Tesco the lazy and baby spaces are almost inside the store whilst the disabled spaces are 4 times as far away and they have to cross the main road in and out of the car park, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a letter from Disabled Team to access this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some disabled people went home a couple of years ago as people had used the disabled area who shouldn't have. Edit: The area I am talking about is to the right of E21 looking towards the festival, not the whole of the field. Please do not go there unless you have a letter to do so.

It is the first year they've sold the tickets with such labels. In the past, I've been asked (& also not asked). If it really means you're closer to the gate this year, all it will mean in 2019 is for "family" to sell out first, as everyone will buy that first. Might as well say "Bath & West (furthest)", "East Far" and "East Near". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed GF before the campervan tickets went on sale last October asking the question. Response was E22, E23 and E24 were going to be the designated Family fields. I know E22 is blanked out on the map but that was the answer I received at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other Bellboy Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Before we bought our van pass, I emailed gfl to ask which fields would be the family ones, I did post their reply on here ages ago, they gave me three field numbers only and as commented at the time one of those no longer exists so hard to say how reliable their reply was. The fields they listed were the closer ones so in the end we did buy a family one. We will be there early ish on Tuesday evening, we have a blue cabbed swift escape 686 so if any efesters pass by, shout up for a drink, it will be flowing early!

Cooter Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Can't remember the new family east tickets being available or if I bought one. Would it show as a family ticket on the tracker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
