I'm 50 and same thing, standing up all day just hurts these days. Walking is no bother, I walk about 10km a day generally, it's standing on uneven ground for ages that seems to aggrivate my body So I have a tiny tripod stool that hooks onto my back pack, every half an hour, short sit, all good 🙂 it's this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ADEPTNA-Portable-Folding-Non-Slip-Festival/dp/B0CDMFL7TB/ had it several glastonburys now, seems well put together -

This was me in 2023, I ended up taking as much paracetamol and ibuprofen as I could and had to sit out in a hammock for Saturday headliner and sit at the back for Sunday and was in my tent early every night unable to continue. I figured this was due to my poor posture and core strength so this year I set out a few months back to do daily posture correcting exercises and regular fitness to improve strength and even though I was still not 100% I was able to survive the whole festival with multiple 4am nights and loads more walking and standing with minimal pain. Edit: Although I also took the advice to sit and relax whenever possible and next year may take a small stool to make that a bit easier to do -
I'm expecting the ticket to be £395 next year, parking passes will go up again as well. Like many, I'm all for massively reducing the hospitality ticket market. A disproportionate amount of space is allocated to hospitality within the fence and it is almost impossible to quantify the total volume of onsite and offsite hospitality tickets. Over the years they've been moving more and more workers and volunteers into camping outside of the fence from what I've been told, and that I am sure helps at least some, but the Melvin Benn era we're in at the moment (2022 onwards) seems to point to fewer 'attractions' like small stages, walkabout performers and smaller traders and more towards lots of space to move about, larger capacity venues and capacity traders who can afford multiple pitches. In many ways this is a safer, more controlled glastonbury that does reap rewards as far as crowd control goes but in others I feel is eroding some of what makes the festival special. If they moved the crew camping which is currently on the west side of the festival offsite that would restore camping space equivalent to adding another pennard hill as far as the volume of tents it could hold. As it stands I don't expect any camping in the Park within a few years, quieter fields like Darble were full this year because the reconfiguration of camping means that there's perhaps 1/3 of the space to camp there than used to be the case. Pennard hill has thankfully returned to a full camping field after a bit of crew/pre-pitched tent encroachment previously but the park has also shrunk to about 1/3 of it's previous capacity. -
Not a fan of Pearl Jam, and only wanted to see Sum 41 and Khruangbin on that day- who clash! Will take a small miracle to get me to the site on that day -

If, say, a more well known act was subbing like - I dunno Noel Gallagher (again) or something, there'd probably have been more folk opting to hang around. The one two combo of Janelle and Burna Boy probably doesn't appeal all too much to folk with a Radio 2 sort of taste.
