Trying not to get carried away on the ticket front. The rumoured acts are my best case scenario atm so I feel like there’s loads to lose. The 50th isn’t a good one to miss.

NOS Alive could be a good backup plan if it doesn’t pan out, though.

I missed out this year and did NOS Alive and I think I agree with what Mardy says about doing a completely different type of festival. NOS is pretty much like a big gig rather than a festival, one big outdoor stage and then smaller tents. I had a great time and Lisbon’s a great city but I think it being nothing like Glastonbury definitely helped, I wasn’t really comparing them and thinking about what was missing.

I echo the nerves on here. I've fallen madly in love with this festival and all of you lovely people. If I get over the line this time I can rest easy and maybe hang them up after. The score increase in ticket I can live with as suggests they're pulling out the stops and Michael due to retire so if a huge line-up and a golden handshake to our leader costs 20 lids, it's  bargain. I hope everyone here is successful. I think we all deserve a break in terms of ticket success for the 50th

The worry levels are building...

[vintagelaureate]

Yep. Two weeks today I'll be getting frantic. 

Don't they usually shut registration the week before?

Yep registration closes on the 30th September.

FAO - Anybody wishing to change their photo on the registration.

Website advises it needs to be done 1 week before registration closes.

Registration closes on 30th September which means all photos changes need to be in by tomorrow (23rd September).

its rare I set an alarm for a sunday,  probably 3 times a year ..... but will give myself 2 hours to grab breakfast and do those last minute checks of reg details and all devices are  set up ... with none set to go to sleep  .... and a quick check asking for watts app photos of everyone else to check they are all prepared too

The one time in a year that I connect main pc to the hub by cable rather than wireless.  Wireless for other devices.

Anyhow, Two weeks, by now it’s over.

Its comforting knowing everyone feels the dread this year.

Does that make it faster....or just less likely to crash?

 

[Sasperella]

In desperately trying to think of people I know that might be up for trying for tickets for me and have good ticket buying technique (which discounts my Mum) yet don't want to go themselves....

Not too sure but I think it makes it faster. My wireless on the pc on rare occasions doesn’t connect so I won’t take any chances. No problems on other devices. 

Spoke to someone last night who hasn’t been before, but has registered and might try though she isn’t too bothered, just curious about the festival. I am tempted to superglue her f5

an automatic leave out of a group unless you need to make up a 6 ... it will make it faster yes ... but the difference will not be much ... although psychology of it might make a difference .... im working out if I can run one laptop on a vpn ?  and if that's worth it  ah the pain of it all

Oooh. My work computer has a VPN. If it's still running off my WiFi is that going to help, it make both slower?

[Sasperella]

I've managed to convince my uncle to help me buy tickets. He's got previous experience trying to get Glasto accommodation and definitely doesn't want to go himself so an ideal candidate

He just asked me if he needs to register on see tickets to buy six himself. Any ideas? I think officially no, but I know I always do anyway.... Any ideas? 

Also....for the hundredth time...he doesn't need my card details, does he?

hopefully someone more technically minded will come along .... but my thoughts are that if I have any issues by refreshing too fast and it blocks me and I get the screen of death ... its another option that is there to be used ... but I have no techical knowledge whatsoever

I’m excited, two weeks time I will be £600 lighter.

Wonder how many French rugby fans are on EFestivals.... I would not be happy if there was an England world cup game kicking off at 8.45am on the 6th!!!

I traditionally watch every game in every rugby world cup.... France and Tonga will have to be seen on catch up though. Priorities.

About 3.5 grand including accomodation for the 2 of us. Given tickets and WV cost us about about 1.5K last year, it’s 1000 more per person. 

Yikes! I reckon even packages like that will be hard got this year
