Fuck you box office 

Is there a separate entrance for international/box office ticket collectors, or will you have to go join the main queues?

[al_coholic]

Still queuing at Gate A. But moving very quickly.

5.5 hours exactly from car park to campsite (John Peel) through Gate A. Comfortably worst experience ever in 6 Glastonburys 

See you there … I’m camped by a big Yorkshire flag when I arrive 🙂

How was the bag searches?

Bit late to this sorry, but we didn't get searched at all. Saw a few people getting pulled aside for searches but they looked like they were just patting the bags down, they were getting ahead of everyone in the queue after it anyway 😆

This is quite the setup!

Is it Glastonbury if you don't project Love Island before a 10pm bedtime?

You got to the main gate and ask to get to the box office queue and theyll direct you

Shit sorry to hear that, hope you’re ok.

do you know what caused the hold up vs the experience at other gates? Was it the number of people or were searches stricter?

No idea. Got through and one of the female stewards on the wrist band area asked if it was busy because people have been coming in ' slowly ' I mentioned how no water was being handed out and another chimmed in with ' they were meant to'

Hope you're okay mate. We had this in 2019, absolutely destroys you for that first day, write off.

Gate A was an absolute shit show. On a hot year, I always pack lots of frozen water and capri sun's and ended up giving 4 or 5 out to people absolutely desperate in the queue. One poor lad offered me £20 for one and looked very sorry for himself. I would never charge of course! Once we were in, we got a pass out to get our second lot of stuff in and there were cans of water offered everywhere...AFTER the queue had completely ended. Very poor organisation.

The hold up at gate D was a combination of additional searches, which weren’t strict at all (Checking for glass type checks) and a lack of wristbands. Two out of the four wristband workers ran out as I went through.

Sorry to hear about the queues. Did anyone get a coach from London this morning? My one is at 7am tomorrow and I’m thinking is it worth just walking over to gate D from the drop off

[sneakysabi]

My sister and boyfriend arrived on coach from London and were in the queue by PGA before 7am.

It took over 3 hours to get through the gates with ZERO access to water. They ended up straight in the medical tent once in with heat exhaustion and dehydration. A bit rubbish really for the festival to allow that to happen. It's never been like that before and I've been coming in on Wednesdays in 2017 and 2019.

Hope it's straight in now for everyone who's arriving. Definitely make sure you have plenty of water with you!

Clearly a massive quantity of people have arrived today (including some who queued for 12 hours overnight), so not sure you'd be wise to guess anything about tomorrow from that. I'm arriving by coach tomorrow and will wait and see.

Currently sitting in my fresh and black tent up in darble because I couldn't go any further. Partner isn't down till tomorrow. Today is a sit down and rest 

[al_coholic]

I have never seen this many people on site on a Wednesday before. 

[dingbat2]

We drove up from Glastonbury town to West car park at 1pm, no traffic queues at all (thanks parsonjack for the advice!), directed to pink car park unfortunately so quite a walk to Gate A. No queue to get in, and plenty of camping space this side of the site in Darble, Pylon, Rivermead and Bushy. West Side rules!

 Have fun people!

It was to be expected really, it's been 3 years since the last one and people are ready to go.

I'm surprised that they didn't seem prepared for this - appeared obvious to me.
