Anyone else cry?

[Chrisp1986]

I got the Booking Complete screen at around 9.25am and I literally cried and sobbed. Going to the festival means so much to me after missing quite a few recently due to choice (wedding and baby) and failing on sale. Only year I have been in last 5 is 2017. I honestly cannot wait for this festival to the point that I am using it as an aim to shift the extra few stone I have put on and will be more active on here than ever before. Before anyone says I am 'new', I have actually been a member since around 2005. I had to change accounts though as an ill advised comment regarding Rolf Harris gave me huge abuse and negative comments. Roll on June!

Congratulations and I so want to know what the comment was

It was just that he could open the Other as he was due out of prison a week before. I think my reputation went from 400 to about -200

I didn't cry but I swore a lot and fist punched the air while pacing the lounge on the phone to my group saying how great I was

Thought this was going to be quite a different thread... was going to admit I did, but maybe not in quite the same way! Ha.

Congrats guys

Thanks! I don't know yet, going to wait and see how I feel. This is my second time failing in the main sale and I've done both: waited obsessively for the resale for 2014, thinking of nothing else all winter, and deciding early to do something else for 2016. I think the latter might be better for my mental health! And I'm feeling quite philosophical at the moment. I broke my run in 2016 and the world didn't end. Was hoping for a longer run again but them's the breaks. Once the post-match aftermath has evaporated a bit here I'll probably lay low for the next few months as far as the forum is concerned.

Also this. Although why you brought it up again with your new username is beyond me.

Didn't you get through on Thursday in the coach sale for others? Duno how you didn't jump on a ticker for yourself as well,  easy hindsight now!

I was confident at the time ... yes it was for two friends who have almost given up tickets today because we didn't get them ... more tickets might not have got me tickets though ... might have been a full bus .... fate will take its course

I did this in the first year there was a coach sale (I think). Got through nice and easy on Thursday for a mate coming from elsewhere and was persuaded by mates to just wait for Sunday as usual and get our usual lift to Bath & West showground from Weston. Then missed out in the main sale. It's a shit feeling, would never not try for the coach now.

I'm glad I took your advice /warning and tried in the coach sale on Wednesday - I failed, but I also failed today, and if I hadn't tried in the coach sale I would have been beating myself up about it today!

Im not decided but need to look at logistics .... I take lots of stuff and a bike and bike trailer to ease my back issues when getting stuff in ... not ruling it out though ....

I'm very happy for you! I remember reading how much you needed this ticket success, so it's great to hear you got them- well done, I hope you have a very enjoyable festival!

I was in tears about an hour afterward when I realised that I had actually succeeded and got tickets after nearly 5 years of failing and having to resort to other means instead.

Being to Glastonbury once in the last five years depresses me as it's my favourite place in this country and i try every single year to be there.

I'm not one to cry but I do miss the festival.

Sounds sensible. Figure out options and let yourself come down from the expectation. Sanity way more important than a ticket

Yeah completely this. I like to feel like I've given it my very best shot - and I do!

Missing a year did actually make me realise that there are other things in life, much as I bloody love the place. I had a great time at Blue Dot and Green Man in the last few years. There are other good festivals out there. I'm not saying I won't try the resale and we all know I probably will, but I don't want to put all my eggs in that basket. I think it will be absolute carnage.

I fucking hope Nick Cave doesn't play, though (and I kind of know he will).

Ack, you've just jinxed us! Now it's certain he'll play.

Motherfucker. 

Edit: Just to clarify that wasn't aimed at you, but the situation!
