my 26 year old son has clockd up quite a few, he doesnt know how lucky he is?

I'm sure you said once on here you could see the end coming...but perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me!

[Tartan_Glasto]

2015 was my first. First time trying for tickets and managed. 

Been to each one since, though my luck with tickets ran out and I did not manage to get any for 2020(2022)...so far.

That's true...a lot of my friends from home don't do festivals anymore, I now mostly go with people I know from going to football. 

Sadly once a lot of them gave up taking class-A drugs they decided Glastonbury wasn't really that fun just drinking and stopped going. ho hum.

Worked 92,93,94,95,97,02,03,04,05

Punter in 2007-2011

Not been since, but had(still have) tickets for 2020 and will be there in 2022 all going well!

Been every year since 09 - I'm aware that one day it'll have to stop and I won't get a ticket or life will get in the way or I'll feel to old. When that I happens I know I'll look back and be glad that I made the most of every opportunity.

You had me at slender

[blutarsky]

Had tickets 2016 but had the deposit refunded - I was working for Remain and had to be at the count on the Thursday night. It would have been my first festival and I may not have fallen in love like I did in 2017...

Worked 2019 as had no tickets. 

Ticketless for 2022 and have a baby now (turns 1 in 7 days) which may mean I miss out as working won't be an option. We're also broke so going for the resale will be a last minute decision, and our only option. 

If it were solely up to me I'd make a ticket my number 1 priority every year, but have family to consider. Also have a job that doesn't allow me time off so I have to be creative about getting there... 

[HalfAnIdiot]

Most years since 93 (I think I may have missed a couple when the kids were very young) some on Sunday tix tho (again due to kids) do they count?

I could make a trolley with a false bottom fairly easily I reckon... fancy dragging me through Ped gate A too?

Time flies!

1995-2013 it was every year without fail. On ticketless years I volunteered. BabyHew came along in June 2014 so only done 2 full festivals since then plus a couple of blagged Sunday afternoon/evenings. 

[Boomtowner]

First one was 2002, changed my life. Since then I've managed to get a ticket every year I've tried. Only missed 2011 and 2015, I was a Primary school teacher and couldn't get time off, and cried both times watching it on TV.

Can't imagine life without it, it's been a couple of tough years.

[topmarksbri]

Must be said this probably isn’t a representative crowd. Would love to know how many people in general public go once and never again.

[Pipine]

I’ve been to every festival since 97 except for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 when my kids were really little.  I was back in 2019 working for Oxfam.. haven’t got tickets for 2022 but really hoping to get a volunteer spot or resale ticket.

First time was 94, changed my life. Last time was 95. Changing location circumstances & friends stoipped me going again. Been attending Beautiful Days and Bearded Theory regularly since they began and the desire now to experience Glastonbury again is stronger than ever.

I lurk around this part of the site as it's the most entertaining - except when Glasto's on then I avoid it altogether due to being unashamedly jealous

[Yeo-vile idiot]

Missed one year since 1994 (2005) through choice .

Feel like I'm going to be a literal mule next year

At least this time you won’t be wandering the car parks aimlessly 

[Simsy]

Been going since 2004. Only missed 2017 so far (ticket failure), but still don't have tickets for 2020/21/22.

[fred quimby]

1982  was the first and only missed 2009 since

[Slugworth]

2013-2017

Missed 2019

Tickets for 2022.

Will be my last, so I've told myself.

[found home in 2009]

First went 2009. Will always try for tickets if any of my friends are willing to go, which is the case most years. Not been able to get a ticket a few years, including for 2020/2022.

 

[northernringo]

Haven't been yet - still a slim hope for 2022 in the resale but hopefully if not that, then 2023.

I'd say when I do go for the first time, I'll try and go every few years.
