Glastonbury 2023 dilemma

I'm getting grief from the Missus as our grandchild's birthday is on the 21st stating I can't go until the 22nd and that's already causing problems with our ticket buying teams and with choices of glamping, CV, tent etc...

Trying to squeeze in two flights and a wedding with everything that could go wrong sounds like an expensive disaster waiting to happen.

You only need a delayed flight or missed check-in and you're totally knackered - skip 2023 and go large in 2024!

 

What's wrong with arriving on the Thursday?

Missing the ritual of getting a good location (if camping) and wandering around the site watching it fill up. Plus if on Thursday coach I don't want to end up in Darble again like this year.

The issues is about numbers - we need 10 tickets for us all to go. Consensus is Wed Coach is best option. So If I can't go until Thurs we need to get round the ticketing process an extra time either for a Thurs coach or a general ticket.

They've already said they'll take my tent on Wed if we end up camping again so it's the risk of not getting through the booking screens three times.

Ah, everyone else will still go for Wednesday coach or GA? 

But if you were the latter it makes no odds, you can join them Thursday - which is much more appealing than no festival.

I wouldn’t head back to Sussex during Glastonbury weekend, let alone bloody Switzerland 😂 it’s a no from me. I’d pick one and do it properly, and not try and fudge both
