Skinner88 Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hi, lucky enough to get a ticket for 2023. It will be my 3rd time, but this year I will be going on my own for the first time. Pretty daunting, but thought I would give it a try, anyone else going on their tod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisty Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Me probably, been maybe 8 or more times with people none of whom were bothered this year due to cost etc. There’s usually a solo thread started, you’ll be fine 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popsider75 Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Never attended alone but spent plenty of time alone at each of my festivals. Went with just my wife last year and barely saw her most days as we had different things to watch! I always find myself speaking to lots of people. It's one of the most social places on the planet and wouldn't hesitate to attend alone if I had to. Will be 6 in our group this year.

Bestival-weather Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 After 10 years of trying for a ticket I have one and for the time I will be flying solo too. Me is nervous lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisp1986 Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Kind of. Mate going but won't be camping with him. Brother in law going but likes different music to me generally. Also travelling from Yorkshire alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisty Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 There’s usually an Efestivals meet on the Wednesday, that could be a good starting point for solo flyers 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner88 Posted November 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I'm not the only one then 👌 My mates all dropped out one by one but I wasnt prepared to miss another one so alone it is. Few cans and everything will be fine 🤙 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazwwe Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Will be going solo for first time after 6 other festivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Don't Panic! I've been doing it for years now since all my mates stopped going; had kids etc. Its great - you can see who you want, when you want and meet who you want 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJB Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Haven’t gone to it on my own specifically, however did spend a good chunk of it wandering around myself last year as my friends are mostly in to different music. It was absolutely fine, I’m not the most extroverted person in the world but everyone is so friendly there and I still had the best time. It’s also cool just being able to do what you want and go wherever without catering to other people etc. You’ll have an absolute blast!

Bestival-weather Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Fingers crossed then lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4AssedMonkey Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 As I said on a similar thread recently, nerves/anxiety stopped me going in 1997 and 2003 solo as no one would come with. I kick myself everyday for bottling it. I spent most of 2013 on my own due to differing tastes and had a greta time. Spoke to LOADS of strangers, all of whom were funny, interesting and really generous company. Don't be put off . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidstorm523 Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I got divorced May this year and went with my grown up kids. Watched a lot of pop that I didn’t want to see as we were all getting used to the new world order 😂 Next year they will do their thing and I will be basically on my own for the first time since the early 90s! I’ve hardly missed a single Glastonbury, and even though I generally wandered, I had a wing man. this time I’m quite excited to strike out alone!

Bestival-weather Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I am hijacking someone else's thread, didn't realise this one was going when I posted my own lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner88 Posted November 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Crack on mate, same subject anyway haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMCJ2 Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 going alone too, mates aren’t really into gigs and so thought it’s either go alone or not at all so went for it. Been to gigs solo before but not camping at a fest. Anxious but sure everyone will be there for a good time and friendly 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
