very confusing... some of those words don't make much sense in English haha
I'm also wondering whether the "comfy" option is worth it.. looks to me like the only main benefit is this Hangar Bar after party thing, but for an extra £100 that seems pretty poor value! haha
Hey all, looooong time lurker here, finally broke the seal on making a post yesterday during the build up to the usual ticket sale madness.
TL;DR: Hello!
Been lurking without an account for best part of 20 years. Attending Glasto was an experience I'd always wanted since starting to actively follow the lineups and performances in 1994 as a 16-year-old. However growing up in Reading meant that it was kinda silly not to go there instead for my self-prescribed one-festival-a-year and so I spent my teenagerdom and early adulthood at Little John's Farm rather than Worthy Farm (1995-2002, 2004-2005, missing 2003 as I got married).
After 2005 I "retired" from weekend festivals for a number of reasons: at 27 years old I had felt old at Reading given the demographic and also as physically making it through 4-5 days of camping was no longer a total breeze (at 27! What little I knew!). We were also starting a family and my daughters arrived in 2006 and second in 2009.
That kinda put the brakes on any festivalling for a few years, but every year I watched the coverage avidly and jealously.
After devouring the festival coverage once more on iPlayer in 2017 I resolved to go. Of course then 2018 was fallow. And then I kept finding myself unprepared for how early the sales were, not managing to round up a group friends to go with or just plain stupidly missing them. Not to mention the 4 years of not-actually-possible-to-go-and-omg-the-demand from 2020-2023 due to The Thing That Happened.
Finally, in 2023, I'd managed to get everything in place -- I had a group! I had remembered when the ticket sale was! We somehow got through the queue to get tickets! And, this year, I finally made it to Glastonbury. An almost indescribable experience. Just... Amazing.
And so to Glastonbury 2025. Somehow the Glastonbury gods have been smiling on me again and I was lucky enough to get through for tickets in the coach tickets sale (I don't drive, so being successful in this sale was relatively important to me!). And, this year, I will be taking my youngest daughter so I can give her the experience as a 16-year-old that I had first wanted at the same age.
See you in the fields! ❤️
