Listened to the podcast last night and got all excited. LOL

Returning for the first time since 2017 with my 'almost' Wife (we're getting married a week before so this will be the mini-moon). Roll on next June, it's been way too long! 

[yehbutnobut]

Returning to the hallowed grounds once more for number seven. 

Had 5 laptops set up all on separate networks and a team of 4 manning the screens etc. To my saltyness, the perseverance of the other three started to wain when the 'sold out' sign was tweeted, with talks of planning something other than Glasto next year... 🤨

...I wasn't having it though. And at exactly 10:27am on the 6th of November, the deal was done and I'd managed to bag the tickets for our 6.

NEVER. GIVE. UP.

Going again, but after near 30 years of going I always feel guilty that I'm depriving someone younger from doing so. Should really step aside tbh.

why?

you have as much right as anyone else to be there.

Friend I’m going with first went in 1986, so nearly 40 years! Although she had a few gaps in the early 90s and early 00s when her kids were small.

I'll find out if I'm going early 2023, but I'd say it's almost certain.

The festival really needs the "old heads" at least until some of the younger lot become the "old heads".  The "newbies" love hearing tales of how it used to be, at least that's my experience.

I first went in 85 and haven't had any gaps, but that's why I'm a broken husk of a man, whereas I bet your friend is primed and ready for her next festival 😊

Delighted to hear this! Was really hoping you'd be successful.

Thank you! That's very kind 😀  

Just catching up with who's in and who's not (yet!) as am on holiday. Presume you got them?

82 was my first, missed some due to kids but been working for a good few years now so unlikely to miss any until I keel over!

Both daughters were in 5 groups & with all of them trying they managed get tickets for everyone, first time this has happened.

Yep, wasn't personally successful but someone else in my group was, a good 25 minutes after the 'it's sold out' tweet!

What an absolutely bonkers sale.

[TGCarr]

I was so gassed when I got Tomorrowland tickets as it's somewhat just as hard to buy.

 

But since buying Glasto after so many fialed attempts in the morning, getting the final groups tickets at 10:20am.

 

Christ I've been so fucking happy. Can not wait 

[jamesrfisher]

Got my ticket at 9.17, and I thought I was stressing! 

First time since 2015. Due to a number of reasons didn't try again until 2019 for 2020, bad times as was renting a room in a house for a few weeks, only had my work chromebook. Not a sniff. Tried in the resale earlier this year, got to the payment page and took ages to get confirmation from my bank so ticket timed out!

 

Can't believe how excited I am and still 8 months to go.

[Scrump]

Super sorry if this has been asked and answered... Got a ticket on the coach from London (Woop Woop!)... Does anyone know where they depart from.?

Thanks!

Oxfam volunteers, join the party!

Have a lovely time and be nice to people who you meet who are on their own. Strike up a conversation

Well, I'd given up this year after 32 years of attending and failing in the sales so wasn't going to bother with the resales and retire gracefully, but managed to get a Pilton residents ticket transferred over to me yesterday , so looks like no retirement this year.
