Judging by the correspondence I have read, Glasto wants to be even more sustainable.  Bringing caravans and campervans is not great for the environment.  Bringing cr@p tents and dumping/leaving them is also bad.  Getting people to come on a bus and use pre-erected reusable tents (I think most made in the UK) is seen as a step forward. So they have added pre-erected capacity and given priority to coach/bus ticket holders.

Don’t forget that they then still have the opportunity to make an absolute fortune by charging ridiculous prices for sleeping in one of their pre-erected tents. As much as the festival wants to be greener, they also want to make more money, it’s all about the Benjamins
