Setting up my tent, getting my chair up and laying back and reading the programme is a glastonbury ritual for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this whilst holding the programme. Quite a few don't bother taking them in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices have almost always increased above inflation so proportionately it's more expensive now. Edit just checked: 42% inflation since 2004, ticket price up 154%.

This is how the crew tend to get hold of programmes. When I’m working on the gate if anyone comes to me and says “I didn’t get a programme on the way in” I give them one. It’s all about customer experience. I’m sure I’ve ended up handing them to crew this way but I’m not going to interrogate people trying to get a programme.

The area of the park is huge and in 2004 we didn’t have shangrila block 9 etc as we still just had lost vaugness . don’t think inflation is an easy thing to judge on a Glastonbury ticket Edited September 22, 2022 by brettredmayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackem Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 22 hours ago, Gnomicide said: Good point. Gap from announcement until coach sale: 2020 - 16 days 2019 - 17 2017 - 24 2016 - 13 2015 - 14 2014 - 17 We're now 15 days away from most probable coach sale date. 2016 was the last time the coach sale was on the 6th Oct so this suggests the announcement was on the 23rd - tomorrow's date. Interestingly, my diary show that in 2010 the main sale was on 3rd October. That would have meant coach sale was in September. Or was there no separate coach sale at that time?

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Can someone confirm or not that if we buy coach tickets, the time of pick up/transport is totally random and you can get stiffed with a time at the end of the day? E.g. if I buy a Wednesday coach package from Bristol, I might be left with an 10 pm slot, arriving on site around midnight/basically Thursday?

Actually - looking back at news articles, as best I can tell in 2010 at least coaches weren't on sale in October 2009 at all, they didn't get released until the resale in April (when they were indeed at the same time as General). And they only had 7 departure points that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was on the same day as the GA tickets went on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
