its the final countdown

[Crazyfool01]

so with less than 21 hours until sale time ... what is everyone doing to relax ? / prepare ... are you all ready to go ? or a last minute scrambler  and most importantly wishing you all good luck with tickets 

[Mardy]

I’ve made the decision that if we don’t get lucky tomorrow morning, then i’m out. Not going to go for the resale and exist in Limbo over the winter.

I am working all weekend which is taking my mind off it somewhat!

However, my plans for success tomorrow morning have been scuppered somewhat! I work for a mobile radiography company and although I have to work, I shall be in front of a laptop at 9am tomorrow morning. Made sure I was rota’d with someone who is sensitive to my Glastonbury needs and is fine with me hammering away on F5 (indeed, he is going to try on his phone for me in between patients!).

Whichever site we scan at, we are reliant on local 3/4G reception to complete our admin tasks on the laptop. The vast majority of the sites we work at have good connection...apart from one where it is extremely patchy, and at times non-existent. And have a guess where there sending me tomorrow..:.

Trying not to worry about it too much, what will be will be. Think I’m going to be relying on the 5 others in our group this year though!

Just back in Somerset after a 27 hour journey from Thailand via Singapore.  Haven't got a clue what time or day it is....just hoping we manage to get it all sorted this afternoon and then wake up for the sale tomorrow! 

[Krazypinkminx]

Off to work now and a busy night, then bed! But I'm so nervous, hoping to celebrate my 40th birthday at Glastonbury, but I'll hold out for resale and also book a trip away. Good luck everyone

My tradition is to be horrendously hungover on Glasto ticket day. I'll be at an Oktoberfest celebration this evening, so long may that continue.

Good luck, friends!

Dear god, make sure you put your clocks back on the right time.

Usually takes me a week to get round to that.

Got a surprise joint 70th party tonight after planning it for a year, most of our two ticket groups will be there so will hopefully take it easy. On the plus side people who were staying over tonight have pulled out so should have no interruptions in the morning.

Thanks I'll be so happy if I succeed, crying like a baby if not

Just leaving to meet the remaining 2 of our groups at the pub to organise where some of them are going to try tomorrow and to give the newbies a crash course on how to buy Glasto Tickets.

Trying to make sure the newbies are spread out with the Oldens so they can be supervised come T day ???

Perfect....I'll have the kettle on ?

[buddiepaul]

For the first time ever I got coach tickets, so its a strange one for me, not having to rely on the main sale.  Only two of us on the coach, so the other six still need to get sorted.  Will obviously be trying for them, but don't know if it will be as stressful as usual.  Probably will, as it's not the same without all your mates there.

[Hooba]

Up at 4am for Moto GP, straight into ticket frenzy, then off for a run to either smile and say hello to everyone or scowl and swear!!

We have also decided it's either Sunday or not at all. So tickets tomorrow, or it's Boomtown. Can't handle the stress of resales as well....

[SophieBee]

Ugh, feeling very stressed about it all today! Went for a run in the rain to blow away the cobwebs, but it hasn't done much for the stress! Still, I'm going to spend the rest of the day chilling and will aim for a reasonably early night. I'll be heading into the office bright and early tomorrow morning - the only time I have ever been successful at getting past the holding page was buying 2017 tickets from work, so that's my talisman. The fact that I've changed jobs since shouldn't matter, right? Right? 

We're also pretty much on the tomorrow or bust track. If it doesn't happen then I'm not getting involved in the resale, we'll just do something else (and maybe book a nice far away trip for sometime around the last weekend of June...)

Good luck all! Hope to see lots of good news stories here tomorrow! 

[Curlygirl]

I will be popping round to Tday hq in an hour to copy all the groups details onto the other 4 laptops, getting them in position and doing updates, all ready to rock up bright and early tomorrow. I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. 

As for relaxation, reading all of these threads is not helping the nerves! 

[BillyBremner]

Drinking.

I’m working a 12hour night shift tonight then having to stay up after that to try for tickets. *Dedicated* ?.

Two years ago on sale was the morning after my 40th birthday. I didn't do anything for my 40th. Glasto was too important!

that commitment deserves an upvote ... so does the 1500 efest posts 

[Badlands]

Looking at cheap deals for a holiday in June in case the unthinkable happens. Just the one bite of the cherry this year and if no joy then definitely not looking at the resale. Can’t be chewed with the uncertainty between now and April!!
