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.

srb Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkic Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 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).

Ayrshire Chris Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasperella Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasperella Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 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?

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
