If you’re at Gate B, I will legit meet you and EPO your Taytos in for the price of one bag of Taytos

 

(nb- this offer is not available for nordie Taytos, proper Taytos only) 

Never come between a NI and his Taytos. We’ve got them in west Scotland now

Just gone through a search at Gate A and they’re taking packets of crisps off people as apparently they’re not allowed for some reason, so if you’ve got your stuff hidden in crisp packets and sealed back up… maybe rethink that. 

How stupid and weak would you have to be to let a jumped up pol pot security pig take crisps off you? 

Just tell them to fuck off like any other person would.

Can someone be a little more straightforward than talking about crisps.

I assume there are no dogs.

Are they patting everyone down?

Searching pockets?

Making you empty your pockets?

Searching bags?

Thanks.

Gate d so busy odd voluntary searches and they pat your bag to make sure it got bag things in. And open carriers briefly 

[Stokesy10]

Gate A can fuck itself, alongside the bell end steward who pulled us out of the queue for D, telling us A was better and smoother. 3 hours later, stuck in A, and my mates at D who were behind me are sat at their tents.

If you are at Gate A, is D your only other realistic option?  Or can you make it round to B?

Similar sentiment here. This Gate A queue is a joke. It is only going to get hotter as well 

[foolsgold1981]

Can confirm Gate A is an absolute shambles. Worst mess I’ve ever seen at Glastonbury. No idea what is going on - queue hasn’t moved in an hour. Lots of upset people 😡

[ModernMan]

Anyone know what’s happening at gate A?

[Larraht]

Anyone have any clue as to what the gate A hold up is? We are going to be here for hours at this rate!

[brendan84]

Same last time avoid gate a If coming from pink orange car park queue   you are in 2 separate queues with all the bus and train people. Last time it took us 5 6 hours to get in. Some left to d and got in before us...suspect may be same again this time.

Are both sides of PGA moving slowly? I.e. the coach/shuttle AND the drivers? 

My security search consisted of someone asking me if I had any glass on me. I said no, and she patted down my sleeping bag. Ignored the big rucksack which was more likely to be full of glass, and patted down my sleeping bag 😂

Just got in from gate A about 10 minutes ago. Starting queuing about 8ish. Was moving really quick, going through one section every 5 minutes or so until we got to the last bit and it took about 45 minutes.

Just had a burst after 45 mins stand still and must’ve moved 100m. They must be prioritising coach surely? 

[Festivalnut87]

Gate C queue is massive. Up the hill, around the bends and 75% down through East Campervan 19

My understanding is the problem with Gate A is that it takes the people from the coaches and drop off point, and they can't let that queue get too long because there's no room for it - it would end up in the area where the coaches turn round so it would quickly get very dangerous. As a result, the queue of people from the coaches always has priority over the standard queue from the car parks. We got stuck there in the pissing rain for several hours a few years ago.

It does calm down later on, but it's a shit show for the first few hours.
