Improving the Festival

[Funkfarley]

I'd happily pay a few quid more for the ticket so that when got throught the gates the free goody bag contained the program, the band list thingy, potato tent pegs, a cute kitty and a big spliff!

Find the idiots who are moaning about the line-up on here and stop them getting into the festival.

On the issue of the trays of beers earlier this year I contacted Carlsberg about the possability. They said that they could not as requested by Glastonbury organisers. I then contacted Glastonbury who said this was due catttle safety.

Definatley tickets delivered a month before the festival....more benches......better signposts around the site......seats banned near stages.......

Definitely kittens...

The only real improvements I would like is A. to have my ticket despactched by SEE sometime before the week of the festival and B. to have a better range of real ale at more of the bars - the Red Flag and Bimble Inn were excellent last year, but they're at opposite ends of the festival, and it would be great if some of the bars near to the main stages sold a decent pint - not everyone watching a band on the Pyramid is a lager swiller!

1. A rational, forward looking approach to avoiding putting two bands I like on at the same time.

2. At least one ale at all bars.

3. A better system for clearing car parks on Monday

...and people say I'm selfish.

Less bands on at The Park, leading to longer, more on-time sets.

Bring the Leftfield back

Either move the campervan field or the fence so that you do not have to produce your ticket every time you go to your van.

Seats banned near stages? I was 7 months pregnant in 2007 and I had a seat...is that wrong?

[Funkfarley]

I'm guessing if you're carrying around a +1 then you'd take a seat round with you though? (I certainly will during the day next year if it's muddy, and I'm a bloke, albeit someone lazy one)! I liked the seats at the back of Jazz World though, not sure how they'd work in the bigger arenas though.. Did you find people were giving up their seat for you, Funkfarley, or do we need some stickers from London Underground saying "Please give up this seat.." etc?

[glasto_mongrel_2008]

Alright, given the overwhelming public demand, I'll set up a Downing Street petition for free kittens to be issued to all festival-goers! Maybe it can be funded by one day of Sir Fred's pension!

How about a sponsored helium 'party'ballon launch with 1000's of balloons being released simulateously at some pre-arranged time?

If organisers charged £1/balloon to add a personalised message I'm sure it would be a fun event/spectacle which could raise some cash for charity.

Also how about having a few big searchlights (arc light?) or lasers dotted around the site to help enhance the night time Glasto spectacle - have seen them in the US and they look pretty awesome

Get rid of Singstar. I wouldn't mind a bit of normal Kareoke, where you can interpret a song, but Singstar is for front rooms. It makes a sound like you get on Pop Idol. Urgh.

Im allergic to cats.

[Filthy]

Jet packs - its the solution! Get them in to goody bag (ok will have to be a BIG bag but hey..)

NO - sore feet

NO - struggling through the mud

NO - Fighting through the pinch points

[denwyn]

Anyone caught in possesion of a cat or kitten to be neutered, as should be done to all kittens at birth I hate cats by the way JOKE...Just in case i get a visit from the leauge of cats friends

I can't believe no one has said they should improve the toilets! I didn't go last year so I don't know if they were any better but they could really put more effort in to cleaning them. I've been to a couple of fests abroad and the toilets at those fests were so much cleaner than Glasto loos, I never saw any pile ups if you know what I mean!

Glasto loos on a Sunday, not good

[markeee]

Definitely better last year. Zillions more adjacent the Pyramid field for example. Hardly remember any "total disaster" ones, unlike a few years ago.

[pezzypops]

they werent too good in 07..didnt go in 08

i just assume they will be awful. then it's not a shock!

and of course, avoid them if i can...the bushes suffice for most times;)
