In 2009 it was my first fest... not statistically valid but it does happen....   I was dragged by my boyfriend now husband to attend it... his family had been for years.    

That's a great redemption story. Bet they were so relieved to give you the news.  Nowhere near as bad as 2023. Some dodgy stage placements, that made some sets a bit crowded, but in general, it felt better to me.  Worth noting that they were managing it much more strictly though, closing areas and routes where needed, and much more often than recent years. So getting to places early was more important.

You used to have x2 options.  The full ticket price path was always simpler....   Back then you couldnt use credit cards either....

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...

The machinery rings a bell and was definitely mentioned last time we talked about it I'm sure. I'll see if I can find that old thread.
