Got 2023 tickets with a big group of pals, been a few times before - 2016 and 2017 but failed to get them the following years. Looking to expand my knowledge of the festival and find some good tips. Hoping for an exciting line up soon. Nice to meet you all x Welcome … we should get something fairly soon … but your guess is probably as good as any 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Larone Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Hello!! I am new! This is the first year that I have managed to get tickets in the first sale. I was lucky enough to get tickets in the resale in 2019 and 2022. Loving the excitement and build up! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEL29 Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Evening all, I'm Matt, this year will be my fifth Glastonbury having previously gone in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022. Felt the time was right to take the plunge and get an account, at the festival I'm mostly found floating by the Other stage, Park and Pyramid by day. As for the night time it's a complete lottery. I'm absolutely buzzing with the line up (despite its criticism) and can't wait to see who gets added. Hoping to see Black Keys, QOTSA and a few others added. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHairBlairBunch Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hello everyone! I've been to the festival every year since 2008 (apart from 2016 🥲), over the last few years this forum has been a great source for me but ive never plucked up the courage to post anything, this changes today! 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough I don't have tickets for this year, yet. Not sure if I will try in the re-sale or not tbh. Still enjoy chatting about Glastonbury even if not going though.

LewisTr11 Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Started lurking back in 2019 when I managed to get tickets for 2020 (2022!)... It was my first festival and the only regret is how fast those 5 days went. Didn't manage to secure tickets in the main sale but hoping for the resale. Thanks to those giving advice and tips etc - really helped me with planning last year and we had a really smooth festival! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Meg 👋 new to this site and to glastonbury this year. second festival ive been to went to bearded last year and enjoyed that! any tips for a newbie to glasto? Prepare yourself for it to be much bigger than you can imagine - about 20 times the size of Bearded and because it's more spread out even that doesn't do it justice - and so you're going to have to walk substantially more. On that basis, the best recommendation I can give you is to not plan too much. Identify a few must sees each day that you're going to aim for, ideally with decent sized gaps between them, and a whole load of "maybes" that you might hit if you're in the area - and assume you won't get to many of the maybes or even all of the must sees. You're going to want to explore a lot and tbh you may well find yourself half an hours walk from one of your must sees and think "nah, I can't be arsed walking all the way over there so I'll watch this random bloke playing a theremin instead". On a similar note, don't worry about the fact that you literally can't do or see it all. Nobody can, and it's a fools errand to even try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_ Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Hi, I'm Nick. Ludicrously old (in my 60s) to be thinking about Glastonbury, but keen to give it a go while my body still vaguely works. I'm here to hunt around for any idiot's guide to how it all works - everything on the official site feels like joining an existing conversation, and I don't have the context to understand it.

thewomble Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Followed the site for years before even making an account, finally decided to post today! Buzzing for our first time at Glasto this year. Have been a R&L attendee for the past few years so feel like we’ve finally graduated 🤣 Bit too old for that scene now even though we’ve always had a class time. Gutted friends missed out in the resale so only 3 of us with tickets but still in for a cracking week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
