Ah, when you miss out it’s disappointing so as fanatics about the festival we come up with some out there suggestions. It’s almost grief! But yeah, can’t understand the idea that it’s awful for once just to dampen down demand a bit…I hope it’s one for the ages and all the newbies that got a ticket are converted for life like I was many moons ago. Having missed out before, I’m entirely ok with it (I did enquire at Yurtel about how much it would be for one of their packages, but even they have quadrupled the price of their cheapest option this year and much as I’d like to go, I don’t wanna go THAT much!). Maybe it’s time I put my hand up to volunteer since I’ve gotten so much joy from the festival over the years and I should give something back (have done so at Irish festivals, but not Glastonbury yet). The crazy ideas always die down and we deal with whatever ticket buying system comes next. Some years we’ll be lucky, others no so much. 

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. 

Is there more info on that? The date has been and gone.
