I think we are some years away from ticket prices putting people off. I guess everybody will have their own limit but I suspect a lot of people will cut back on other luxuries so they can still afford to go.
I just can't believe this sadly. I've been ten times, but never once got my own tickets - other people got there first for me (even in 2008 when they didn't sell out!). I feel like I get there despite the Glasto Gods who seem not to want me there!
I've worked the last 3 (against my wishes - I'm not one of the "I'll never punter again" brigade, I already have two jobs) despite software engineer husband and utilising every trick we've dug out of every corner of the internet (sadly weren't quick enough on the fix last year). It was the only reason I joined here!
I don't believe I could possibly have less luck with the new system than the old, but will undoubtedly regret this misplaced optimism. I have my work role to fall back on and it's better than not being there but... Pffft, I don't know, it's all just luck isn't it.
I don't know anyone that's not going due to ticket price - it's generally perceived as still good value, especially by those that have been before. I know a few people not going for other reasons, but they've been replaced by some 1st timers. Totally anecdotally, based on my little bubble, I expect demand to be about the same as normal.
