That link doesn't work for me. Not its content, but the actual link! This is highly likely to be something at this end which isn't right - and I include the person tapping on the keyboard right now! Just thought I'd mention it in case it was more common than just being confined to me. 

Try another browser 🙂

I tried, but all that happened was all of this;

 

I'll have to leave it. However, I am confident that it is a marvel. I mean, you've added a smoke machine. Now, that's almost out of hand. Good luck with the ongoing project. 😊

Confirmed my registration, so I can at least get to the start line come sales day.

Had a cursory look at London accomodation for the days leading up to the festival and spat out my coffee. All my go-to’s are fully booked. What’s happening??? Is there a major event on I don’t know about or is this some kind of price fixing attempt??

If you're using a site like booking.com to check it could just be that some haven't released their availability to them this far ahead. We (YHA) don't release ours until 3 months out as obviously we'd rather sell direct than pay booking.com commission. I'd imagine a lot of chains do similar, as well as some indies.

Good intel thanks. That would make sense given I never book this far out! But it was alarming to switch to map view and see that everything was showing no availability. Was worried I had forgotten about a world cup or something…

- Messaged ticket group to check their reg's and confirm back to me.

- Reviewed and updated written ticket buying strategy due to device/process changes since last year

- Checked auto-refresh and text-expander working on all devices and shortcodes all correct (subject to changes notified by ticket group

All good at this stage 💪

Yep might have something to do with a certain Taylor Swift doing 3 nights in London the weekend before Glastonbury-21 - 23 June - accommodation will be all booked up and /or expensive !!

Just booked accomodation!!! It’s fully refundable, but I like to stay close to Paddington and was getting worried that all my go to options were already sold out.

This feels a bit presumptive, but at least I’m now in it to win it!!! Has given me a bit of a wave of excitement as well!

Confirmed reg details last night. Ready for an assault in Oct and the following 5 months of torturing myself about whether to go or not.

[Ayrshire Chris]

We’ve already got pre festival accommodation booked in Glastonbury town, now just wondering, if we hit it lucky with ticket sale, if we should do Worthy View again or return to our hallowed spot up at Lime Kiln. Much as we’ve loved WV I’ve missed the on site camping. So many good memories of it and this could be our last one.  

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

Had an "oh my god, the sale is only going to be a few weeks away now!" moment!  Rallied the group together, and booked my husband to babysit for the week! 🤣

[kalifire]

Let my work know that I'll be seeking my usual late June leave but that I'll only be able to confirm that in October.

Agreed in principle.

Can I just check, if you've had to reconfirm your registration without changing your picture, is that email you get saying there has been a request the confirmation, or should you get a "your details have been accepted" email as well?

It says here 'CONFIRMED'

Any registrations submitted prior to 2020 need to be reviewed HERE and the details CONFIRMED. Please also take a moment to review the details and photo(s) we have on file, submitting a more recent photo if your existing one is no longer of a good likeness, and make any other necessary amendments to your registered information no later than 30th September 2023. If you do not confirm that you wish to keep your pre-2020 registration details, then your registration(s) will be DELETED on 2nd October 2023 and you will be required to submit a new registration before you can try and book tickets for the 2024 Festival and future years.

 

Not sure if that helps, or not. Maybe you could go back in on the registration system to see what's there, and if it's valid for 2024. Is that possible? I don't know. It was just a thought.

I've upgraded my broadband, and cleaned my keyboard.

Finally plucked up the courage to open my budget spreadsheet and stare down the numbers.

Managed to find a way to make work (aka justify) the trip next year, despite price increases all over the place.

[Crazyfool01]

Sold my damaged iPhone 13 Pro.... for 410 .... speaker broken , charging port not working and crack in rear , amazing how they retain value and how people on eBay get carried away ... That's my ticket potentially covered 

[Mark H]

I have taken Monday the 6th off work. Tickets go on sale here at 10pm on the Sunday night and the chance of sleep that evening is minimal..

Group meet up on Wednesday evening to discuss sale day.

Bit gutted that my best mate has now dropped out of potentially going next year (although not a mass surprise as I think he found it a bit much...)

[giantkatestacks]

Sorted the child sitting which we thought would be easy but it turns out that they have decided to do their after GCSEs prom on Glastonbury Weds which caused some soul searching on our side (bound to be drama and fallout). Granny is going to cover it though.
