[alanr]

And another.

Without being too soppy, one of the things that does help is looking at what one has gained rather than lost. I’ve really enjoyed the banter and chit chat on this thread - it’s really kept me going and it’s a more than welcome distraction. Raising a can of brothers/wedge of cheese/cup of Clipper to all the lovely souls here who remind me about why I love the festival so much.

I agree, its a complete mental reset for me. I will really miss it this year.

I also keep trying to tell myself how lucky I have been to have attended at all, when so many try to and never make it. I know I'm very lucky, its just hard once you've been and you know what you're missing...

 

Chin up everyone and hope we all make it to the fields next year x

I keep on having real pangs of sadness about not going. Think it’s the final ‘everything coming together’ phase that’s getting to me. I’d normally be practically vibrating with excitement, buying some camping essentials (cider, berocca, ibuprofen to name but a few thing lol) and having lengthy debates in the pub with friends about our planned running order of who to see but just devastated that it’s not the case this year, especially as about half of our gang got tickets. Just quite deflated tbh.

I’m in this camp too. Nearly winning tickets this morning has pushed me into a really sad place today. I’ll be okay, just devastated not to be enjoying the build up with my friends! 

It's the hope that gets you. The first year we missed out on tickets in 2014 it felt like an unbearable bereavement, and going to Latitude instead was a poor substitute. Getting tickets the following year in a secret resale was joyous and made me determined to savour every moment of being there as it could be the last time.  Missed out again last year (especially galling after being screwed over by a member of our buying group), but we had tickets for Green Man, which was genuine consolation.  Having a decent other festival later in the summer really helped, and it was actually enjoyable following the threads on here of other posters who were having to watch from home. It still felt like being part of the collective experience.  Also we could familiarise ourselves with bands who were playing both Glastonbury and Green Man.

 

Wish you'd all got tickets, but nonetheless congrats to tea caddy winners.

I doubt it'll help any, but I booked Latitude tickets when I didn't get lucky last November, and I don't feel that cut up about not going to the G. Latitude won't be anything like as good, i know, but having it in the bag as an alternative to fall back on has definitely softened the pain a lot. I would highly recommend treating yourself to something else, whether it's another festival or maybe a week away on a beach somewhere. 🙂

Another tea caddy win here. Feels weirdly (mildly) satisfying to finally win something from all these comps, even if I don’t particularly want a tea caddy!

[Scarfur1]

I also won a tea caddy! Had a similar heart out of chest for a moment there…

 

I am volunteering with Oxfam this year so will be at the festival but gutted not everyone has made it there! Been such a nice spirit on the thread 🙂 

 

Good karma will come back around for future ticket sales I’m sure of it!!

Apparently Zoe Ball will be giving away a pair of tickets tomorrow on radio 2 - listen from 6.30am. Good luck! No other details - I've just seen it on a fbook group.

Have ran out of upvotes.

 

This competition has got to be given a last hurrah go, surely?

[sunnyshoes]

Have 6music done one yet? I'm pretty sure they usually give away a pair of tickets at some point too. I'll keep my ears out.

Nope they haven’t. It was only a couple of days before the festival last year

This one, any other BBC ones that come up (6music?, Asian Network?), and the Voter Registration one I think.

 

Aside from that, everything should have picked a winner by now.

Understood. Thanks for the correction. I hadn't meant to muddy any waters. 

[Lucy92]

Well I’m feeling a little better after this morning. Will probably dust myself off and try again tomorrow
