A Thursday arrival camp site would be incredibly easy to implement and probably make the whole thing a lot easier / less stressful.

 

Of course Wednesday is super chill, but there is still an official lineup on the website. Same with Thursday. So if you're arriving after something like Glade / Levels has opened I feel you should get £75 off or something

Paid for by who?

 

There are a lot of people who don't want to go on the wednesday and would be more than happy to go on the thursday and pay the same price!

That’s really good. I know folk who did that a few years ago. Great time to arrive, a kip on the way down, refreshed for pitching up and a bus full of comatose zombies on the way home😊😉

I’m hoping the excitement will get me through the journey down and the fact that I’ll be absolutely knackered will see me through the return journey!

By the time 2027 comes around, tickets will probably be around £450 and some people might feel a bit aggrieved if they're paying that and have to get there at 6pm on a Thursday.

 

A lot of events / festivals have tiered pricing depending on arrival day and if there was specified Wednesday & Thursday arrival tickets (in general sale), I bet the vast majority of people would be willing to pay £40 extra for a Wednesday arrival.

 

Not married to the idea but something that other places do!

(edit: or, as another member wrote, just guarantee an arrival time by 2pm at least on the Thursday)

I honestly never realised you didn’t find out time till this late, that’s annoying when booking other travel.

 

8.30am from Bristol on the Thursday. Do you think we’d arrive at like 10am? Hoping to be set up by lunchtime!

Would imagine you will be arrived by 9:30 ish and straight through the gates ( maybe a few min), then it's about finding a space.

7am from Manchester, 6:30 return; had booked a flexible single home (free cancellation 24 hrs before) in case of a ridiculously early return. Now a bit torn; pack up and leave stuff in property lockers on Sunday and stay out and then take 6:30, or aim for the later Nat express bus

Tbh an hour for a Bristol coach would be quite optimistic even without all the potential (quite likely) delays.

 

By the time they load the coach up, distribute the tickets, and set off, you've probably already well past the scheduled departure time. Then traffic approaching the site will still be pretty busy and can easily lose a lot of time.

 

Would say 90 minutes is a realistic target, and it probably won't be much less.

 

I usually get the 7:30 coach from Bristol, and tend to get through the gates somewhere around 9:30 to 10am.

That's on a Wednesday, Thursday will be a lot less busy around the site.

So assume that’s  an Ideal festival arrival time for you. A right good result for you!😊😉

I mean, 4am would have been better, but you can't win them all I suppose 🤣

 

I'm massively grateful. Had the fear of a 4pm departure and missing out on the Weds, which is a HUGE part of the festival for our group. Absolutely buzzing still!.

16:15 out of Bath on the wednesday.  
will be the latest i've ever arrived on site - odds are that Big Ground will be full up by then.  hopefully can still get a spot in Kidney Mead 

Only if you have a very small tent!

So, worst case scenario just happened. Not only is our coach to glasto in the afternoon, but the return one to Brighton is also late in the afternoon and we won't make it back in time for our flight home. We even booked an evening flight (8pm!!) trying to avoid this exact situation but still no luck lol Any chance we could hop on an earlier coach? I checked nat express and it's fully booked so I'm kinda freaking out. I guess the only other option would be the train. 

 

Do you think it's worth emailing glasto and asking for a change? I know they don't usually allow it, but idk I'm lowkey panicking right now. Any advice would be highly appreciated!

How many of you are there?

 

I have 2 seats on the 4:30am back to brighton. Happy to switch. Sure that's possible on the way back

9am on the Wednesday from Sheffield. If I'm in by 3pm I'll be very lucky won't I?

We were on the 7am Sheffield last year and arrived on site about 4.30pm.. I think  there were a couple of bad traffic incidents around Shelton mallet which delayed us massively - normally we’d be on site around 1pm.  So I’d guess the 9am might be more like 3pm arrival.

Got ours in the resale. Thursday from York at 0845. Guessing Darble may be the least risky place to camp if arriving that late?

 

Return 1230 Monday. Will definitely be doing what I did in 2022 where I got a return from Southampton but managed to get on a half empty coach back to London at 6am instead

Yeah i see your point! As somebody who arrived 3pm last thursday it was a bit gutting to not only wake up wednesday and spend the whole day not at glasto, but then to get there thursday when there was already music!

Anyone reckon Lime Kiln Ground near Woodises will have space left as of Thursday mid morning? That's where we camped last time and we quite liked it and it's an ok walk from PGA

All depends if the stewards on the gates are sending people up there or if it gets marked as "full" early on. 

Last year that area seemed to be much quieter than previous years (I go for Hitchin Hill next door). There also seemed to be a high concentration of tents next to the path and that meant the space in the middle and close to the fence wasn't taken up. So worth a go. 

If you're not a huge group you can usually find a space in Hitchin Hill / Lime Kiln. Though the additional family camping around there has made it harder.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
