Oh yeah, I'm definitely going back!!

I think I'm gonna have to wait to see if me and my mates manage Glastonbury tickets before booking this, £335 is quite the jump in price! I know B'Town is more about the experience than the acts, but would really hope for some slightly bigger names than this year at that price.

Got phase 1. Can’t wait to return, let’s hope it’s not quite as hot this time

Yay ..you are going to Boomtown 

Nay...we want the same weather again. It was glorious.  But I doubt it will happen.

Just checked what I paid in 2019, £241.75 for a ticket and half a parking permit (split with mate) inc eco bond and booking fees.

Would be over £100 more this time.

gonna wait for cheap tickets i reckon. no way will this be anywhere near £350 come early august

How much are Glastonbury tickets this year? I can’t see it being posted anywhere, unless I’m being thick!

I cant fathom how anyone enjoyed that weather. I spent all of the Friday in the shade and still managed to get heatstroke. Most of the indoor venues were too hot to stay in, couldnt do any storyline.

This has taken some thinking... but I would genuinely have preferred rain for 4 days straight.

I kind of agree with you. I spent the Friday and Saturday just chasing shade and longing for the sun to go down. I also found that everyone seemed shattered by 4am, which usually isn't the case. I think the same weather but mid 20's rather than mid 30's would be perfect.

What can I say…I’m an outdoors person, all year round.
In the sun, just remember a hat, a cotton scarf kept wet to cool the neck, and cotton clothing. And water, water, water….and more water. 
I loved dancing in the sun. 
I can not fathom how you could want rain…..that’s just weird. Unless you’re a fish?

Not quite a fish, just ginger and live in Sweden 😂

Like I could have consumed water non stop for 12 hours straight whilst wearing long white linen robes and a sombrero and I still would have ended up with a headache and feeling sick, my body just physically cant deal with being that hot with no way to cool down.

It’s a different kind of survival, if it was raining for 4 days straight I think more people would have left, there’s only so long you can stand being soaked through for without drying off

Ha ha...I can't wait to try mine out as I've only learnt by using Duolingo. Reading is OK but speaking is very difficult!!! Hoping for a city break to Stockholm next year. But in the sun!! 🙂

Crew e-mail that's just gone out states they sold over 50% of tickets in first 24 hours of ticket sales, which is their best ever sale. Also states that layout of festival will be the same next year as it was this year, but with a few tweaks and minor additions.

If I believe it hard enough could we get Fred again headlining this

I've not heard anything, but would think his Boomtown ship might have sailed by now, as his management will have put his fee up considerably due to his recent success. Suppose it's still a possibility

I'm still not sure if he'll be that much for them. To me he's definitely in the same territory as four Tet, can't imagine he'd be significantly more. 

[stanh]

I'd love to see that happen! Would be class.

definitely could still do it

not sure they'd want to spend so much money on him though vs a lot of other options
