Just for the record. I've been going to Glasto since 1994. I have never missed one since. That's 30 years and I think, 24 Glastonburys. I joined this site in 1998. I was unlucky this year. Am I upset? No, disappointed but with that record, it's not unreasonable that others have an opportunity to attend instead. For years I have worked festivals with Oxfam, 20 years come 2025, somewhat as an insurance policy against this eventuality. I will use that facility to hopefully gain entrance this coming year (it's not a guarantee but it does give you a strong opportunity). I am not entitled to a ticket. I also think it's essential that those who are less successful have an opportunity to attend. It is similarly essential that younger people than myself (just turned 52 this weekend) have an opportunity to attend and make it their festival. If I am successful in getting a work position, I will do my best to make it a fantastic festival for those who have been fortunate this weekend. Peace.

I don't know if you're messing with me but yes, that's correct. This place still did better than TheOtherPlace when it came to the HOSTS thing. Here there were mods and users who knew about it and didn't share it until after both sales. TheOtherPlace they literally auto-deleted any mention of it while helping the other mods and preferred users.   But! This year was so much better and open in both places so I'm sorry I referenced it. 

Hang on? There was a hosts file hack last year that wasn't shared on here? That's not the eFests/Glastonbury spirit that I've usually experienced on these forums.

Well. I appear to have subscribed this morning.    No recollection of it though.  Had been meaning to do it for years . Probably thought I was still within the discount window.   Was drowning my unsuccessful punter sorrows I guess.
