Think I'll just work it again if it doesn't work out. Concerned that the queue will be dominated by professional queue squatters that you have to be on their books in order to get a look in.
I may relive past ticket day experiences and have an unplugged keyboard I can press F5 to my heart’s content while I’m waiting in line, it’s not going to be the same without it
Definitely not about the headliners, but assuming NCATBS sub, not do other, there wouldn't be anything for me to watch at all on the 2 main stages at least as a headliner. I'm aware there are many stages, but for £400 a ticket I'd want there to be a bigger name to see in the evenings nowadays. I agree with other posters that if not, you still get value. It's just a sad state to me when these pop acts keep coming through and headlining (not my cup of tea at all).
Just so happens I'm into all 3 of the headliners, AM probably biggest British band when they're active other than Coldplay maybe, and literally everyone (well almost) saw Elton. The rest of the lineup that year was very strong for my tastes too, we saw some great bands.
I'm sure I'll find stuff to watch or do, but with all the extra people on site, it being impossible to get into anywhere in the night areas that isn't playing drum n bass (this was our experience on the Saturday night 22) that takes away a lot of the value. As the price goes up, your average person will think the same.
It's also quite sad I'm saying this as I genuinely love the place but money is money, my wages aren't going up and £400 give or take is a big chunk.
It's as much what you're looking to get from it, right?
Moreso than other festivals, where a lot of it is just oriented about who's on the bill and if they're any good or not, Glastonbury attracts those who see it as a social opportunity with a gang of chums or people who go a lot because they love the fact it has a lot on top of just being any old festival. Even if tbf I know some Download Festival every-year attendees for that similar reason.
