I was really excited to see AFI, but when the crowd barely seemed to look up, and Davey looked genuinely pissed off, my enthusiasm drained quickly.   Same happened in 2013 with Gaslight Anthem, hardly anyone seemed to care that they were playing. Both bands would have done far better on second.  

Well they should ahead been booked in a different position. I'm a big fan but I can't pretend they were ever big enough for a 3rd down mainstage spot at Download, 4th down would have been the max. I would put them headline or maybe even subbing the Avalanche myself.

Yes, seen him several times and puts on a good show. Lovely sunny  afternoon and the opening bars of Summer of 69. 😊. Great tunes for a sing a long, essential for a legend. 

My thoughts  There is 100% a way to game the old system. I was invited into a group who last year some guy got 7 different groups tickets. Not sure how but if you're very tech savvy, you have the advantage  Old system meant that once you got tickets, you can try and get other people tickets by just going back in. New system eliminates that  This is essentially a ballot. Whatever effort that was required is now dead. No idea how many people actually just give up and whether thats a significant number  https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/glastonbury-festival-2024-how-many-8874703 says theres 138k tickers sold. so if everyone gets 6 tickets, you would need to be below 25000 but reality I say if you're in the first 50000 you should be fine (as a group of six may all drop off of which all have 2 devices so 12 queue spots - very rudimental math)  Oasis bot tickets and Glastonbury are a bit different. Oasis are doing it for profit. Glastonbury dont allow transfer of tickets but can still see people selling those services    Overall I hate it
