@BlocCapacitator Welcome to the forum! This guy has been here since 2016, but only has four posts, so they're new in a way. But for some reason he keeps giving ⬇️'s to my posts. WTF?

Thanks for accepting my application. I'm Joe, I've worked Glasto and been as a punter. Haven't been since COVID because of a variety of issues. Looking to potentially buy a ticket or work next year tho.

Welcome, things are reasonably quiet at the moment but the craziness is due to start pre ticket sales day and the wild unsubstantiated headliner speculation 

[LeeRow]

My names Lee I've been Glasto 4 times and I can't imagine a summer without it now (other than fallow year)! It really is the best place on earth!

 

Lucky enough to be there for some big moments like the Who few years ago,Ed Sheeran, Elton last year

[SticklinchJoe]

The Who were on top form the last time they played. I don't think they got enough credit for that one.

Hi 👋

 

New member here, trying for 2025. How have you managed such success with tickets? Being in group of 6? Even working in a group that seems like great luck with all those years attended!

so various different ways over the years ..... I may have my years out a little here but from around 2002 - 2010 there wasnt such a demand for tickets so wasnt too bad getting them , a couple of years post that a local paper , western daily press gave the chance to buy tickets , and once we won them with that paper .... ive just been quite lucky personally on the ticket front too and its most often been me thats got through . 1 / 2 devices and only one tab . Covid year my big failure when I got my friends bus tickets and didnt bother myself and then failed in resale . Big spreadsheet of 100 plus setup on here and many helpers also from here got 95% plus tickets .. thanks everyone once again . We now have that spreadsheet group and we all try for everyone and happy to pay for everyone working to get everyone there , ive now learnt my lesson and have myself in both sales ... bus isnt perfect but a wed bus is better than missing out completely .

Hey all, looooong time lurker here, finally broke the seal on making a post yesterday during the build up to the usual ticket sale madness.

 

TL;DR: Hello!

 

Been lurking without an account for best part of 20 years. Attending Glasto was an experience I'd always wanted since starting to actively follow the lineups and performances in 1994 as a 16-year-old. However growing up in Reading meant that it was kinda silly not to go there instead for my self-prescribed one-festival-a-year and so I spent my teenagerdom and early adulthood at Little John's Farm rather than Worthy Farm (1995-2002, 2004-2005, missing 2003 as I got married).

 

After 2005 I "retired" from weekend festivals for a number of reasons: at 27 years old I had felt old at Reading given the demographic and also as physically making it through 4-5 days of camping was no longer a total breeze (at 27! What little I knew!). We were also starting a family and my daughters arrived in 2006 and second in 2009.

 

That kinda put the brakes on any festivalling for a few years, but every year I watched the coverage avidly and jealously.

 

After devouring the festival coverage once more on iPlayer in 2017 I resolved to go. Of course then 2018 was fallow. And then I kept finding myself unprepared for how early the sales were, not managing to round up a group friends to go with or just plain stupidly missing them. Not to mention the 4 years of not-actually-possible-to-go-and-omg-the-demand from 2020-2023 due to The Thing That Happened.

 

Finally, in 2023, I'd managed to get everything in place -- I had a group! I had remembered when the ticket sale was! We somehow got through the queue to get tickets! And, this year, I finally made it to Glastonbury. An almost indescribable experience. Just... Amazing.

 

And so to Glastonbury 2025. Somehow the Glastonbury gods have been smiling on me again and I was lucky enough to get through for tickets in the coach tickets sale (I don't drive, so being successful in this sale was relatively important to me!). And, this year, I will be taking my youngest daughter so I can give her the experience as a 16-year-old that I had first wanted at the same age.

 

See you in the fields! ❤️

[GhostOfMaurice]

Okay. Thank you.
