Ticket Delivery

I had the despatch email Friday but didn’t arrive today. Hopefully Monday and luckily I’m WFH so can catch postman. The link in the email doesn’t work but reassuringly the Royal Mail tracking works if you cut and paste the reference into their tracker. Currently in Nottingham (needs to get to London …)

That link has not worked for years, they should actually fix it one year.

Don’t worry. My RM tracking didn’t work until they’d been delivered.

Hello - hoping to enlist the hive mind! Glasto tickets arrived last week but without our Worthy View parking ticket. Our WV booking was made under a friend's name, but we bought our own parking ticket under my registration a few weeks later. I expect as the parking ticket was bought a few weeks after re-sale it might get sent out separately, but I wondered whether anyone has any experience with this?

 

Edit: to clarify we bought our main festival tickets via resale

WV veteran here. WV parking passes are sent separately to tickets. If you bought it using your own registration, it will be sent to you, not the person who booked the tents. The WV passes are sent via standard post and normally arrive around mid June. You should have them a week before at the absolute latest.

Perfect, this is so helpful thanks! First time WV-ers here, really excited to try it. Now tell me...how bad is the hill really?! 😄

The first time I climbed it was in 2016 and I thought I was going to die (and I only went as far as Strummerville!).  The next year I climbed the same hill with a hop, skip and a jump!  Amazing the difference mud can make!

I agree with others. The steps in 2016 were treacherous and quite a slog up but they are no longer in use. The new long and winding road up is easier though a bit stony, never done it when it’s wet so don’t know how it will stand up to a really wet one. Views from the path are lovely. One suggestion, Take a small bit of groundsheet with you for the small outer part (entrance) of the tent if it’s a scout tent. Somewhere to leave boots etc overnight and stop you taking mud, grass etc into the sleeping part of the tent.

Trouble is with the new path, you lose the view from the top (where the seats and vendors used to be).

It’s quite steep, but fairly short. The path zigzags a bit which makes it easier. Take it in stages, have a breather and enjoy the views over the site. 10 mins and you’ll be up it, if you’re of average fitness. Up is easier up than down in my opinion, have seen a few falls as people slip on the fine gravel, so hold on to the wooden handrail. I think the drag up past Strummerville to Pennard Hill Gate is actually worse, especially in a muddy year (which we WON’T have in 2025). Biggest tip: Use the Pennards lock up, so you don’t have to “nip back” to  your tent during the day. It’s not a nip unless you’re 21 and have long legs 😬

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
