Yep 2019 as normal. 2020 - Won't be going anywhere as it's the 50th anniversary. Alternative festival possibly for 2021 but nothing set in stone.

BigChief Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Only plus side is that we have already suffered our glasto blues. But then although it's sad when it's over, it's fucking amazing to have been there. Fingers crossed for 2019 folks! Hope not to be back in here again, but it has been fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, no packing up 8 hr drive home, week long detox still would have given my left ball to have been there this year looked like a classic, especially today! 2019 or bust!!

Rose-Colored Boy Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Haven't really said much in this thread, intimidated by how fast it moved, but just wanted to say I've enjoyed all your company on the forums over the last few days being stuck at home while they're all out having the time of their lives. Here's to us all getting tickets in October 2018 xx Edited June 25, 2017 by Zac Quinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver89 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I faced into it this weekend and watched the lot. I've really enjoyed it and the only bits where I felt I was missing out were Foos and Killers/Chic (t'was a clash and all!). It's been a pleasure to sit and navigate the 6 stages with a clash-finder and watch it all live. That said, never, ever again. I've learned some lessons on how to ensure on getting a ticket this year. (i.e. get onto the volunteering striaght away!!) I had 10 separate opportunities to get tickets including right up until yesterday for a day ticket today. All of them fell through. 2019 is the beginning of a life-long attendance streak. Been a pleasure hanging with you guys this past few weeks and months though. Forgot how much fun this forum can be. I'll try and be around a bit more often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver89 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 One more thing: sitting this one out has made me really appreciate just how fucking special it is. Nothing else like it on earth. But maybe we can try and bring that feeling and ethos into 'real' life yes? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's to us all getting tickets in October 2018 xx It did move very fast at times and you weren't alone in sitting on the sidelines. It's been a long 600 odd pages but we're stilt here and watching it unfold on the television instead of shutting ourselves away in a cupboard and ignoring it all has been cathartic and I've enjoyed every minute of it although it's been a huge emotional rollercoaster at times.

picicata Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Got to admit I've done the complete opposite to some of you guys and completely ignored it his year. Went down to Cornwall on Thursday and watched Royal Blood at the Eden Project (amazing venue, brilliant night) and then spent the rest of the weekend surfing/ kayaking. Haven't watched a moment of it yet but I dare say I will when I feel I can without referring to everyone in the crowd as lucky w*nkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ88 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Thanks to all of you wonderful folks on here for keeping me believing I could still be there this year, I would not have made it without you. So sorry for those who missed out as it was another awesome year at the farm! Hope to see you all in 2019 but hopefully not on this thread! Peace out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to pay a deposit up front so not sure if that's the norm... but as he said "hard work Wednesday , Thursday daytime .. the rest was virtually nothing to do ... all day shifts and he got to see most of what he wanted with great camping conditions and a few quid in his pocket " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he have to work Friday, sat, sun.. and just sit around or just go to the festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know opportunities are available right up to the festival, we saw many in these thread and I have friends who often find work as late as a week or 2 before. I had an potential opportunity to steward work its way to my attention this time last week but by the time my emphatic response got back to them it had gone. Just a bad run of luck and a rollercoaster I'm not sure was all that fun! As I've said, it makes you appreciate the luck, the run and the festival itself all the more for sitting one out. Just sucked it was this one with the great weather and fantastic Beaver-perfect lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
