Aye.So as much as everyone here is trying to gauge the weather they are at the mercy of making the call way sooner than they wished. Always next year I guess.
NO LANYARDS?!! I draw the line with that!
2 years ago I had a wonderful interaction while waiting in the queue for the ribbon tower. This little girl came up to me and wanted to trade lanyards because mine matched her purple butterfly outfit. I quickly obliged and her parents were buzzing.
Oh yeah, how were the rucksacks this year? I dont think I saw anything about them at all come to think of it.
That's a good article but I do think part of the problem is the current ticket situation. The stuff you need to do well in the ticket sale (decent tech, big groups) all tend to favour one particularly demographic who take a big chunk of available tickets and all want to do the same set of things once they are there.
I certainly don't think the answer is to get rid of the more weird areas like GOS or Carhenge in favour of yet more DJs as they suggest - I spent a fair bit of time in both of those this year and enjoyed them. More they need to rebalance the population of the festival a touch away from the coke n ket crowd.
Yeah, a ballot would fix it but I don't think it's the answer. Mostly because I tend to do quite well in the existing system...
I've seen the same sort of clusterf**k at D before on multiple occasions, and my son got caught up in one there where he didn't get in til early afternoon despite arriving the same time as me (2am), who got through A in about an hour.
In 2010 we arrived at 6am, got through D at midday, absolutely frazzled by the sun. 2011 and 13 did the overnight queue there and it wasn't so bad, I've done gate A every year since because honestly it is less prone to delays.
