Watts app groups … you ask if anyone is out … 

Yeah I understand the concept of WhatsApp groups. Just never had that many people going.

Essentially, we were previously two groups, and had cross over of friends at this years festival

Myself and the other 'organiser' in the other group got chatting and decided to combine into a super group in an attempt to up the odds

Well, we'll see in a few weeks time, first time it's been put to test!

Still 42 / 42 in our ticket group chat 

Probs a 50 / 50 split on those who have been before and those who havent 

42/42 is impressive. Surprised you've managed to convince so many newbies at that price point

think part of is that the gruops of 6 are pretty much all split with some newbies and some past attendees

[leath02]

I'm not really sure what exposure or coverage the newbies have seen of the festival has been to be honest, other than seeing us all have the best time there on socials and the stories afterwards, I might ask actually

No way they won’t announce a substantial amount of the lineup before people have to pay the balance, not after Emily sending out a note yesterday having to justify the ticket price. We will get the usual lineup poster before the closing of the balance payment window, I’m certain of that this time 

I wouldn't bet on it...

So every year since 2016 we’ve got the poster before the window shut? I’d def take those odds, so still saying I’m certain we will get the first lineup poster before the window closes

Yeah the balance window next year is 1-7 April, so from 2016 to now all posters would have come before the window shut

Ah I get you

if the poll is accurate 30% might not attend the festival ..... thats a very significant number to me and id say we are the most hardcore on here

The second option is a bit wishy washy it must be said - could mean 1 person out of a 50 person group isn't attending or 49 people out of 50. Hard to say properly off this poll

fair comment 

[Spindles]

This will be the year that my daughter and family were planning to return so I've agreed to go along and be babysitting grandfather and see a different side to the festival.  To be honest if it weren't for that I'd have given it a pass because times are hard and likely to only get harder between now and next summer.

If we do get tickets it will be my last hurrah at Glastonbury.  I've reached the point where I feel like I'm a boring old git who is blocking someone from a ticket who'd get more value out of it.

My ticket and coach has went up £81.75 , it’s really a lot when at the time of balance I nay lose my gas and electric cap .

pushing me to just try in the general sale and see what happens 

 

 

[gazzared]

I think £400 a ticket would be my limit along with £200 campervan ticket.... Hopefully that's many many years away 🤞 I only spent £49 this year on food and drink (mainly because I couldn't be bothered queuing up and the first few days they seemed to have no good ales available) as with a campervan you can take as much booze as you need and enough food for breakfasts and snacks throughout the day .

[Avalon_Fields]

Two of our group have pulled out, but not due to rising costs. It’s going to be really interesting on ticket day if there’s any discernible reduction in people trying, and therefore getting on that booking page is easier….…well, I can live in hope!

[Lycra]

One of our circle won't be going this year simply because they've changed jobs and no longer get the time off work to go. For others interest seems to be waning as they'd rather spend what money they have on a holiday.... We will be trying for tickets though.

How do people know this many people who want to to? Blows my mind! Biggest group we ever had was like 10.

We had a group of 25-30ish in 2007. Most of them have fallen away since, there were five of us this year.

Really didn't want to break the question down into 5 more options.

Oh of course, not blaming you - just meant it isn't accurate for predicting the hit to ticket triers
