Having done Worthy View myself I agree with others that the main selling point is the car park being 5 minutes away - it allowed us to bring so much more stuff and goes some way to covering some of the additional cost as spent far less on drinks and food at the festival.

The car park being next door is a godsend, especially when your wife is pregnant and can't carry anything heavy!

I stayed in Tipi Village last year, really great location, chilled out, showers and compost toilets, it's a pain trying to get them when they go on sale - I managed to snag two though. I will be (ticket permitting) trying to get Tipi's again for 2019. 

do they have their own bar and cafe in the tipi village?

 

will be trying for one this year fingers crossed that we get tickets first ...

They have their own cafe, can’t remember about a bar? I was in tipis at Boomtown and it’s not as fancy as that, but it’s still a lovely area and really well located.

1075 for a tipi. Was contemplating it, but that’s pretty pricey

Its not cheap but they take 6 people don't they so £180 each which isn't to bad for the location. £430 for ticket and accommodation then what ever it costs to get there. My friends stayed in them in 2011 and I went in to have a look. They are nice inside, just a big open space so you need to be pretty good friends, no privacy. He said the queue for the toilets were bad in the morning but fine other times

That’s thing, innit? If you can find people to share with, then it"s alright. Can’t imagine any of our gang wanting to live in such close proximity. I mean, i know ‘em and i love ‘em, but...

i was worried last year about staying with 6 people in a tent, but it was great waking up and having your mates there.

I suspect your mates are more, er fragrant, than mine after a night on it.

They are some insane prices ?. Don't think I'd go for summat like that even if I could somehow ever afford it. Pointless hypothetical anyway, I'll never be able to afford that and I don't know anyone who can but obviously someone can and good for them. I'd feel like my Glastonbury experience was being compromised if I went luxury, but sure people who go for this stuff will feel otherwise. They'll certainly be in better shape than me by Thursday, never mind Monday.

Scrap that question, just realized i was looking at the map wrong way round and its other side of the site! 

The hill of death brings back sore memories for me from 2016. Had to carry a broken trolley up it at the end of the fest. fml

Those prices are absolutely bonkers considering you're still staying off-site. Tipis are £1075 / £180-ish each and they're in a cracking spot.

Never done teepees either, could be tempted by that though. 

I dunno, I just don't like the idea of posh anything at Glastonbury really. Course Glastonbury means different things to different people, there will be people there who couldn't give a shit about the causes the festival donates to and seeks to represent. Bloody hell, even a couple of years ago when they had Corbyn on doing his speech on the Pyramid I was reading comments all over Facebook and articles with people saying to keep politics out of Glastonbury, and I'm sat there thinking what...

Sorry I'm on a hungover ramble, celebrated a little bit too much getting tickets yesterday, managed to wait nearly four hours after getting tickets for first pint, mind.. But yeah, summat about gentrification at Glastonbury just feels wrong to me with it really being a product of inequality and I can see how that can be used against the festival's causes. Cos that's what people are like and Glastonbury's full of hypocritical liberal elite champagne socialists or some bollocks like that, cos people think attacking a character is better than debating anything they stand for. Anyway, like I say Glastonbury means different things to different people and I'll definitely be getting different things out of it. I'm probably over-thinking and under-articulating
