ClaireMD Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 I’m waiting to hear if I can get a discounted ‘friends&family’ ticket through my friend who’s performing at glasto this year… we’ve just been told there will be a link sent to my friend/the artist to pass on to us fairly ‘last minute’. Does anyone have any experience going to glasto on this type of ticket? If so how ‘last minute’ was last minute? How discounted was it? And aside from entry what was the offer re: access to campsites/car parking etc. Any insight gratefully received. The not knowing is killing us 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such tickets appear very hard to obtain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip997 Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 We're yet to receive the usual friends and family tickets email. There have been suggestions that it's not happening this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How last minute do you usually get the email? Thanks 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you share any details if you have please? E.g how much cheaper are they? Do they come with any access to any of the more comfortable camping options or parking in the motorhomes field for example? Thanks 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks 🙏 I've never actually taken up the offer, but to the best of my memory it's face value, and you have to be registered. Re camping, as it's for "friends and family" I presume they can camp in the crew camping. Again to the best of memory we've already had the email by now.

They arent reduced price though and it’s just a general admission ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lycra Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Read elsewhere that performers/artists request friends and family tickets through the area agent but like everything Glasto the number of requests greatly outnumber availability. Tickets are not discounted and camping is in the performers camp with the artist. Suggestion is some last minute friends and family tickets are made available with the returns which were previously sold in the secret resale.
