Not having to compromise / herd cats / detour etc is definitely one advantage. 

 

Offset by noone to bring you back a pint on their toilet trip whilst you stay watching the show - or to hold your space if you do the same.

 

 

The first year in went semi-solo (can't call it solo or @stuartbert two hats gets the hump with me 😂) I found it meant I got way more in terms of seeing what I wanted, when I wanted, but the offset was that I laughed a hell of a lot less.

 

Pros and cons to everything innit

Indeed - as a group we often wind up in a state of self-perpetuating hysteria.  Won't be ending the day half-naked covered in bruises and neon paint on a solo mission.

 

Inevitably it'll be the after hours portion of the festival that will suffer - not least cos the lads that normally help sort that side of things out have conclusively d@bbed down.

I am now. Been a rollercoaster of not planning to go, tentatively trying and failing, turning down a work opportunity, turning down a Sunday ticket, not feeling it at all, planning to try in the coach resale, but 24 hours before, I got the heads up on a working spot. After consideration, it saves me the best part of £500, so I gratefully accepted and didn't try (for myself) in the resale.

That really is a rollercoaster - see you there then!

7/7 for us in resale which is unreal. 5 on coach, 2 on general. Cant believe it. @gfagot our final 2 after the sold out message. Think it might be the latest I’ve seen at 9:22! 😮 Absolute hero.

My wife got hers at 9.21, I told her she must have had the last ticket but looks like you can take that accolade!

Finally, I am going to Glasto 25. For the first time ever I thought it might not happen yet somehow still believed it would despite the odds. Anyway got an Oxfam place so will be on the farm!
