Has anyone ever used or stayed at Windinglake? I am now at the point where I cannot handle waiting any longer and just want to secure my entry to glasto even if its 4k for 2.

They have said they do not take card and payment is done by bank transfer, which I find strange considering the amount of money involved.

(Looking for assurances as the only thing worse than not going to glasto is paying 4k and then still not getting into glasto!)

I remember a guy last year saying that he used Windinglake pretty much every year, I can't remember his username but if you do a search either in here or in the Q&A forum it should be obvious. Maybe drop him a message.

Me personally ( eternal pessimist) would be reluctant to pay via direct transfer. Ask them if they'll accept paypal . That way you're both covered against all eventualities.

This is exactly what I replied, paypal or other secure payment source as I don't believe I have any legal cover if I willingly transfer it and they didn't provide the service.

Hmmmmmmm, just checked out WindingLake, never heard it before so had a read of the website. One section says there are a limited number of tickets supplied to them, then on the price calculator page it says Festival Ticket is not supplied

There is another box on the price calculator page. It says email for availability. 

I don't have a problem with the price of the hospitality tickets or the price of accommodation, but to pay £420 to step foot on his farm is a bit steep.

I emailed them yesterday (more out of curiosity in the event of a lottery win)

on top of the caravan/trailer/tipi or whatever you choose, they state:

"On top of this charge, tickets are £485 plus VAT pp and farm passes £350 plus VAT pp. The only festival tickets we sell are the hospitality/backstage variety."

485 is hospitality, 350 just to get onto this windinglake farm independent of whether you rent a tent pitch or a caravan

Yeah that's under 'Backstage Ticket' 

Surely can't be for backstage to the areas in the festival? 

£420 is steep but I'm sure some people are desperate enough, myself included!

Wow that's hefty! So you need an accommodation / access to their farm pass (£350), a caravan / trailer / tent pitch (miminum is a tent pitch at £650) plus the Hospitality / Backstage Festival Ticket (£485)

So £1,485 for one person to get into the festival, pitch their tent and stay at their farm?

Yep, your calculation matches mine: A hospitality ticket and a patch of grass on the ground 2m x 2m for a tent will set you back £1485

Windinglake is probably the only company outside of glastonbury that I would buy a ticket from.  They are reputable - but its silly money.  In 2017 they were selling ticket packages for £1k a few days before the festival that I assume they were unable to sell

They stated they cant sell tickets on their own. Im hoping there is an invisible "yet" in there

it'll be a 'hospitality' wristband, that gets you into the hospitality area that's 'backstage' between the pyramid & other, and might help you blagg in a few other bars backstage at other stages.

You might see someone famous, but it's not exciting.

It's crazy money! Problem is they can justify it because someone out there is going to pay for it! 

And £650 for a tent pitch? That in itself is madness. If it was £650 for the ticket and the pitch that'd probably sway me

You are forgetting the VAT

350 - farm pass

650 - tent pass

485 - hosp ticket

£1485 + vat = £1782

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
