I am meeting a friend this morning { flying in from Iceland } so I don't have time to deal with e-mails but I know by tonight my inbox will be insane from a large pool of Volunteers { some who have been with me 30+ years } and I know many other Organisers will be in the same boat - 100% this will affect the allocation for everyone so I expect the 2023 allocation will be a 50% reduction from the 2022 allocation and I suspect many Groups will miss out completely next year. So good news if you have a ticket but bad news for Volunteers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 1 hour ago, parsonjack said: An 0800 announcement is unusual I think...maybe Emily thought 'There's no way this bloke will keep his trap shut' after she told us in Frome last night 😂 What's interesting is that her and Nick seemed genuinely surprised when we said we'd worked it out from the Pyramid rocket picture....her exact words were 'Wow, well done!'. Perhaps the webcam reveal didn't actually get the attention they hoped it would. Must admit I was gutted to miss the reveal, I look at the webcam everyday as I’ve nothing better to do! Visiting the area pre Xmas and I’m sorely tempted to set off a rocket at the pyramid but I won’t, festival no pyro rules forbid it and i don’t want to scare the cows😉😊.

LiamMcMillen Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 You know the man's got hits when he's performing a "greatest hits" set that doesn't include Mad Hatters, Honky Cat or Daniel. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooo excited for this one. What a time to be alive 😁 Madonna is in that bracket too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 I'm due to see him the Sunday beforehand in Glasgow. Reckon I'll do both. One to enjoy the gig and one to get shpangled whilst dressed as a meerkat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in the other thread I'll have the kids with me at Glasto and can't guarantee they won't be knackered and grumpy by Sunday night. Best to watch Elton in April for the music and then be at the back of the Pyramid field for the vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reaction to her being announced would be in the same ballpark, but barring a miracle she’d lose the crowd very quickly. No chance that happens with Elton, or would’ve happened if The Mac had played. Edited December 2, 2022 by Rose-Colored Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - that's why I left her out of that bracket, even though she is a legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
