Back again from 2019 after missing out on Glasto2020/2022 ticket sale.

Got to the payment screen twice and it timed out and was fully admitting defeat, until in the 11th hour one of our group finally got through. Buzzing is an understatement and I can finally return to trawling to glasto chat forums in my spare time.

Looking forward to going back! Last time was 2014. Campervan already booked so hopefully all goes well with the van tickets. We were in the West van field last time. Walk back was grim each day so will be looking for a East ticket.

Another positive of being successful in the October November sale is that we don't have to avoid the forum build up. In 2019 when I didn't have tickets until a month before it was torture and I had to avoid about 75% of the threads for fear of serious FOMO.

Good dent in your group that, only 18 more needed between both resales!

The welsh one is hilarious - someone can hopefully find the link

Yes 😁. If you’d told me at the start 80% would get them then I think I would’ve taken that deal.

Going again, but after near 30 years of going I always feel guilty that I'm depriving someone younger from doing so. Should really step aside tbh.

Tickets secured, will be my third time. Hasn’t sunk in yet, keep staring at my email confirmation ha!

Not sure I agree with this. The thing I love about Glastonbury is the huge range of ages and walks of life. If everyone who has been going for decades stepped aside for younger people it would change the atmosphere completely. Stick with it! 🙌

Sure I get that, albeit mainly selfishly. Aging demographic and all that tho. I remember when I went as a 20yo. Wouldn't be happy if 50+ were consuming all the tix. It wasn't like that back then but there's deffo a feeling its getting older cos they can afford it.

After only making it for 24 hours in 2019 because one of the kids had been in hospital all Spring/Summer and not getting tickets in 2020-2022 I can finally say… I am going to Glastonbury. Absolutely delighted

[MrsRookin]

Will my first since 2014 (when I was pregnant with our eldest). Will be leaving my husband at home to look after our three boys whilst I return to the happiest place on earth with four friends. Still getting my head around the fact that we actually got tickets… now just the small task of three CV tickets to get 🙈

[Crazyfool01]

Loving all the new faces and some of the returnees … in this thread … it’s gonna be a great few months build up and speculation 🙂

Having missed only 2 Glastonbury’s since 95 ( 2004 couldn’t get them, 2008 could’ve got them but was in Oz) it was a bit of a shock not to have tickets- payment page rejected twice 😫 My niece has never known the pain of not getting tickets out of the 14 she has come with me. Fingers crossed we are lucky in resale though she is also looking at volunteering as an option. Will remain positive- I might have to start buying cheese 😂 like @Crazyfool01

Don’t forget those of us who missed out but aren’t losing the hope!

Glad you get to join in knowing you have a ticket this time 🙂

[Peroni]

Back again... I had given up hope then one of my team managed it after the sold out message.  🔥 

I feel blessed to be coming back for my 11th in a row... un real

And that he got eleven other people's tickets, which is an incredible achievement. 

My thirtieth attendance is on thanks to the mighty @Crazyfool01

It depends where you are, sure there are plenty of us who are older, but I came on a coach as I have before and there are often plenty of youngsters on there, plus some stages had acts that were a notable draw for younger fans - I saw one finishing at JP and it was like Freshers week.

First timer here! - Not here to gloat, really do feel for anyone who missed it out. It's an incredibly stressful process. 

Very very excited, we've struck super lucky with a mate being able to borrow his work clients Mercedes Sprinter Campervan it's incredibly posh. 

Just going through the heaps of good information here is getting me excited. 

Luckily were going with 4 others who have been before too which will help.

Managed to bag tickets, in the unlikliest of fashions. E-mail came through a good half an hour after the sold out tweet went out. processing payment screen came up and crashed, thankfully a pending transaction on the bank account gave us a glimmer of hope.
