It’s amazing. Totally the best stage in whole festival. Helps if you have Bicep on and you’re down at the front under the glare of the lights… but not only them of course… where was I?
There’s other stages at Glastonbury have managed to maintain their shape and identity for a lot longer and may be due a change? How about a sphere instead of a pyramid?
So I'd interpret that as I pay for a new registration each year. Different email, address, phone, photo. Over time would build up to five attempts. They probably wouldn't be able to tell without facial recognition software which they'd probably have to re-consent everyone on the database to use (imagine how that would go down). Chances of being caught would (quite literally) be 1 in a million.
I'd also have my regular group make a new registration each year to do the same. Would make sure the friends who decided not to go this year and still had some years left on their registration gave me their details as well.
So that would quickly run me up to about 20 attempts.
My point here is that every possible scheme has flaws and work arounds to improve your chances.
I will never forget the hundreds of wellies in the car parks in both 2007 and 2008, slung in despair at the wet weather and confirmation they would never return! A wet festival isn't for everyone.
I was reading through this thread, prepping myself to type something similar but no doubt less eloquent.
There seem to be a lot of people wishing everyone has a really sh*t festival one year, just to make it easier to get a ticket the following year. Absolutely baffling opinion.
