No Bones Jones is the other side of the trackway compared to your map.

Is the bar above the Crows Nest in Park usually on the map? It’s not there currently

I'd be surprised if the festival weren't actively encouraging traders to take card. I imagine they'll want to say "you'll be able to pay with contactless at..." beforehand. 

My friend works for a company who set up the infrastructure for festivals and other outdoors events to take card payments. They have a contract with Glastonbury this year for the first time.

Ta. It's all old 2019 data that's gonna get wiped, though. I won't copy over the 2019 data as a lot of it will be wrong.

Personally, I wouldn't. I think testing needs to stop now really and we should just live like we always have done. If not now when? 

I shouldn't bite, but there is testing for other kinds of infectious agents. This super widespread testing has already stopped.

Especially as the tests are no longer free in most cases.

Yeah, for that reason primarily.

I’ll be bringing a tape measure to the efests meet to get a definitive conclusion to the height saga.

Great days!  The equivalent of the SE corner was crowding around the market stall who had a sound system.

Really interesting to see! I've only been going since 2014 - what year was the SE corner born?

[Junglist1981]

It was kinda being born back then, all sorts of weird shit was going on down there that wasn’t part of the official program. Nothing like on the scale it is now though, think the first year of Shangri La was 2008?

Mad how much smaller 2003 was, definitely didn’t feel it at the time. The map looks well sparse!

The campsites used to be busier after hours.  We used to have a fire that we started on Wednesday and keep burning for the hole festival.  Seems like fires are being fazed out slowly.

[Junglist1981]

The evolution of the festival between about 2007 and 2014 is mad really.

Same, someone brought a "wood tent" just to ensure we could keep it stocked. Neighbouring tents could come and sit by it too. Think there are just a lot of tents packed in these days.

Lost Vagueness was there in 2003, you can see it even had its own proper stage that year on the map (The Lost Stage) https://www.theguardian.com/music/2003/jun/29/glastonbury2003.glastonbury2

Is that possibly the influence of Emily given she started getting involved in 2007?

Mobile card reader technology has come on a lot in the last couple of years. Even independent traders can link a card reader to a phone or tablet now. 
 

There will be those traders that prefer cash but you should be able to pay for the majority of things using your card.

Sounds like you are talking about Boomtown. 

Glasto, and most other festivals, don't control punter spending in this way and the traders all provide their own merchant services.

I reckon most traders will chose to offer card off their own back anyway as it's much easier not having to deal with cash. The festival won't push them either way, they don't need to.

Interesting speculation about cashless/card payments.

I can't imagine GF putting any caveats on E transactions in order to have a stall there. But I can see it's beneficial to have the wireless infrastructure in place for those stall holders who do want to take card payments etc.

I think it's about giving a choice to the punter and stall keeper.

I once bought a 'fluffy animal tail' for my young daughter. The stall holder did take cash but didn't take cards. She asked me if I had a PayPal account and if I didn't mind would I mind using that. So I payed like that on my phone. At the same time she checked on her phone and saw the transaction confirmed. Why she preferred PayPal - I don't know.

I'm just glad there are lots of payment options.
