BBC Somerset Interview

[Bisque]

A friend is interviewing the Eavis soon outside of their book tour.

Any reasonable questions to ask would be appreciated? Nothing about the line up unfortunately but site changes, extra inclusions, the 50th etc.

 

[Crazyfool01]

which one is he interviewing ? or is it both ? does he need a helper ?  

[Amy Lawn]

Do they have a favourite on-site food vendor?

Give the choice of where to pitch a solid; longdrops or composters?

Is the Variety Bazaar dead?

What sort of things does Miss Taylor have on her rider?

Confirmation that McCartney was the headliner 'still in negotiations'

Do we know how many people applied for the ballot tickets? I’f not, “How many people applied for the ballot tickets?”

[Homersexual]

Whose dick do I have to suck to get a ticket? Thanks.

This should be a thread on it’s own.  Fold

[ShakeyCrash]

Also would like to know how far along are they with the booking (percentage wise)

I believe it’s both. My friend normally does sports journalism but being stuck in Somerset has diversified some what.

Last time I saw him we were having fun at Chemical Brothers.

^this would be super useful information for us data nerds. 

[shuttlep]

crocs or sandalls?

[Gnomicide]

What are their thoughts towards social media and it's impact (if any) on the festival? Every announcement seems to be met with moans and groans, mostly it seems from people who don't go, do they just ignore it?

[Gnomicide]

What's the thought process behind the dates of the lineup announcements? Do they hold back to benefit the artists or themselves and is there a pattern?

[Gnomicide]

Is @SecretGlasto a pain in the arse?

[The Toad.]

F the rules!

[Bennykill]

where do they see the festival going over the next 50 years?

[lukethekid]

Are the different Monorail lines going to be colour coded again this year?

I'd love to hear an answer to this although it wouldn't be a positive one.

the answer is definitely yes, but the collating of info was already a thing on here, just posting it on social media has given it a bigger audience.

If it wasn't set up and run by people on here, I think someone else would have done so by now.

I think quite a few things have been held back, not teased, and published pretty late or not at all for fear of overcrowding and safety.

'we' both want what best for the festival,That wouldn't be guaranteed elsewhere, so they are quite lucky with it as it stands although  it probably doesn't feel like it!

They obviously will never recognize it as a thing but if they did and told us not to post about this or that, it would be respected.

What are they finding the toughest challenges with regard to reducing the environmental impact of the festival?

[Crazyfool01]

following on from the above .... what will the next steps be to make the festival tidier ? do they have any plans for environmentally friendly deposit schemes on cups or tents ? 

[morph100]

Have they considered letting people pay the ticket off in instalments like other festivals?
