The Glastonbury 50 book reviews

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I've been told that once you've used your registration against a Sunday ticket, it can't be reused. I've got other festivals lined-up throughout the year, just looking for something decent in Europe for the last weekend in June

For anyone local...

Being one of the sad souls who failed miserably on T day I couldn't bring myself to open my copy. I was just to upset by the whole thing. I finally did so today and am loving it. Its cheering me up in these troubled times. 

Stay safe all and look after yourselves and those next to you.

As some of you know I won the stage design competition ... and won the book ... I suggested to Michael and Emily that the book got signed by some of the participants but unfortunately this isn’t possible due to the current pandemic ... so my current thought is to eBay it and send the proceeds to FMS ... I do however want to raise a decent amount of money .... anyone have any other suggestions as to other ways to preceed ?

Well done. Will a stage actually get made from your design?

I'd gathered that you'd won something. Hoped (and kind of presumed) that it was a way in for you.

unfortunately not ... still plenty of ways in so fingers crossed on that .... just need to work out a decent way of selling that book:) 

[Crazyfool01]

Any suggestions anyone ? 

[funkychick2007]

Do you want to sell it to raise money for a local charity! 

[Crazyfool01]

Either that or a festival related one I know they have supported st Michaels hospice In Taunton before ... fms is another option but trying to think of a way to increase value ... face value might get €30 but trying to get a bit more than that

Any advice on online raffles and random number generators @Neil ? Perhaps I can in some way generate some efest website traffic at the same time ? Just mulling over ideas ... and I know u have some experience with the Glastonbury ticket draw annually ...

Hello craztfool1,

Your win seems to have passed me by until now, that is. Congratulations. Did you post a photo of your design on here somewhere, as I'd like to see it? 

I'll have a think about the fund raising element for charity. However, just shooting from the hip, could you sell raffle tickets on here, as well as places like Facebook (various Glastonbury groups), Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, etc? You could ask people for £1 per ticket and get them to pay you via Paypal. As each entrance contacts you, you allot them a number from a cheap cloak room ticket type book (bought very cheaply). Then you could ask an independent person to draw the winning ticket.

I've just seen your post above.

Thanks yog ... it’s the photo I posted in the tweet above ... some ideas like that are what I was thinking of ... sort of waiting for book to arrive and just mulling some ideas over ... I’ve a personal PayPal account but want it to be all above board so It can all be trusted as not a random income generator for myself ... will look at private options ...

I'm really not on the ball today. How I managed to miss / not register your stage is currently beyond my own comprehension. 

I was lucky on the book front in that the lovely gentleman who is bennyhana22 gave me a copy of it. It very nearly went for a burton in February when our cabin at the end of our garden got flooded by the River Severn. However, I was lucky in that it was one of the few books that survived that ordeal.

I'll try to have a think about how you could raise money with your book, but fear that my head is too addled today to come up with anything but stupidity. I'm sure that there's a school of thought out there that would argue that that is a much more regular occurrence for me on these boards than I would like to acknowledge.

No probs it’s a glorious day for an addled head ... or just a glorious day full stop ... it’s quite a while since I’ve been sunburnt ... actually Glastonbury is probably the last time ... but I have managed to get myself some lovely zebra stripes across my chest

Oh, the ladies are going to go crazy when they see that. And a few blokes too. Be careful out there.

Just browsing amazon's kindle store and if anyone's interested they've got the book up on offer for £3.99. good for the money. layout is good and it's less than a pint.

It’s a shame that I might not ever get this book outside of the uk. Amazon has now pushed the release yet again. It is now Aug 11, it was going to be July 3rd, and before that May. 😔😭

Great tip, thank you, bought (have the signed hard copy but it’s a bit cumbersome and a Kindle no brainier at that price!)
