The "I'm Going To Glastonbury 2025" Thread

I've had a tough time recently with my Mum passing away on Friday. I'd been her primary carer for the last few years and although I'd tried for tickets every year since 2017 it often felt like a relief when I didn't get them as there was a lot of organising to put into place if I went. 
With everything going on organising to try for tickets was a bit last minute. We didn't even get a list of 6 people, just 4. One of those was with his Mum in London who had just had a heart by-pass and was waiting for a hire car to drive home (long story). Past experience meant that I didn't allow myself to get my hopes up but when the process started I was through the queue process in about 5 mins. 
I actually got really emotional and was crying when I was able to share the news to the group. There was talk of divine intervention at play. It's been a awful week and there are plenty of tough things to come but I have this to look forward to now and it's a massive deal.

Bless you, I'm so pleased for you that you were able to get tickets. It's stories like these that are just great to hear. So glad that the festival is something that has delivered a bit of levity and light in your light at this time - hope you're taking it as easy as you possibly can at the moment 🙂

You really deserve that golden ticket, enjoy the experience

So happy for you!!

 

Had an awful f**king week also with mum starting Kidney Dialysis due to kidney failure. Getting those tickets yesterday felt like a massive relief, will make the bleak times to come over winter just that bit more bearable!!!

I live in Compton Dundon, which is a couple of miles from Glastonbury town centre.

2 years ago I walked into Street. Got a bus from Street to Bristol. Then got a train from Bristol to Swansea. Met 2 of my mates from Newton Heath in Swansea at 2am. We had a few beers then got a few hours kip on park benches. 

We then got on the coach from Swansea, got our tickets and dropped off at the festival. My mates went in and pitched up, while I got a bus from the festival, back to my house, where I picked my car up and drove back to the festival.

this is mad!  well done you!

Will be back on the farm after missing out last year (the only time I have failed to get tickets).

 

Bought the coach tickets myself and didn't get a sniff of the page to help others on Sunday. Shows the importance of trying in the coach sale!

Yup, first time since 2007 - pretty much just before smartphones really came around. I took a then sightly fancy for the time Nokia and was able to post slowly, so slowly, upload photos online for about 24 hours before battery and signal left. That's just one thing going to be different for me this time I suspect! 😅

Upload photos? Only if you’re on EE. Data is crap on O2 and most other carriers.

It's crap on O2 and Three.

 

But it's very good on Vodafone and EE. And this year at least, Vodafone gave away free esim access to anyone who wanted it (and who signed up before they hit their limit).

I am a returner.  Been going since 2009, missed 2024 due to a dodgy postcode....rookie error.

 

... that said we love a redemption arc so tickets secured by same person who had the wrong postcode last year we  so we are back in 2025!

 

I hope the crowding issues of 23 are sorted...

    • I saw this just after it was posted yesterday, I barely paid attention to it. I didn't realise it had blown up in the way it has. I'm sure (kind of) that Sziget will be unaffected - it brings in billions of huf over a very short period. Its consumption, compared to the rest of Budapest, will be tiny in reality. That said, nothing wrong with encouraging people to use less energy whether it's now or in the future.
    • The eulogies are flooding in.   The list I've seen so far is Jenrick,  Hartley-Brewer, Hopkins, Lowe, Pearson   Tells you all you need to know about him...
