Celebs that actually get it

Not really a 'celeb' but Greg James was out and about amongst the crowd for a lot.

I saw Greg too, at Other Stage watching Tems. I think he has a far greater appreciation of music than we perhaps get to hear just on his breakfast show. Can of beer in hand, bumbag over shoulder, ended up chatting to him and he was as lovely as you’d hope.

One of the Staves was out and about in the park.. and the Breeders had been up the ribbon tower and were very complimentary about how lovely the park stage area is.

I was standing next to Simon Pegg and family at the front of Idles…shouting F**k The King

Was surprised to see Princess Beatrice in the Spike Bar on Saturday afternoon. 
Didn't appear to have any security with her but I'm sure there must have some lurking.

Could have sworn I clocked her at one point - but then I though 'Nah"

Do all these celebs who are not performing have to sit there pressing F5 on ticket day? I have always wondered how they get tickets.

Every year you see Cara Delavigne and Anna Taylor Joy up on the viewing platforms and in VIP. On that evidence, i'd say they don't get it..

Saw Lewis Capaldi walking through the crowd at Shania, also saw him the same night at 3am in Shangri-La.

One year saw Chris Martin in the theatre fields with one of his (then young) kids, just chilling out and enjoying stuff. 

 I literally walked right into him in the Billie Eillish crowd at Other in 2019 at the end as I was leaving, just smiling to ear to ear and chatting with randoms.  I think he's genuinely just a really nice, down to earth bloke whose songwriting talent meant that he ended up playing stadiums and not middle schools with a christian rock band.

There are plenty of hospitality packages where you can camp in tipi’s, yurts, camper and etc with a ticket thrown in. 
 

There were a few people posting about it pre festival, some of them are 4 or 5 figures, but small change if you’re a millionaire. 
 

Then there’ll be some who simply get them for free.

I felt sure someone would have posted this already, but Dua Lipa trying to react with grace to "assault by ukulele" has already become a bit of a meme:

I think I just pulled a muscle cringing at that

We sat right next to PJ and husband John Parrish in the Circus Tent on Saturday night - I played it cool...

Walked past Aaron Taylor-Johnson (aka Kick Ass) at Gate A.

Think this is the main issue at play. Just how many tickets are given away to the hospitality? It seems like absolutely thousands now. I'd love to see how this number has changed over the years. It just doesn't seem fair that a good percentage of tickets can be paid for by the rich.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Maybe %s have gone up, but hospitality tickets have been a fact of life since festivals began and don't impact on the numbers onsale to the general public.

In 2023 I was in a queue for the toilet & someone bumped into me. I recognised her, but didnt know how. We were talking for 5 mins. I told her that "I know you are famous, but I cant remember who you are"

 

She was laughing and was sound. I didnt have a camera cos I'd have asked for a photo (cos I really fancied her).. as she walked off she said "Check the paper in the week & you'll see who I am - have a great weekend"

 

It was Lilly James. Her mate was Billie Piper & I didnt recognise her at all

According to Wikipedia she was single then, missed opportunity to woo her over a pint of Brothers

I was stood behind Paul Mescal in the crowd for The National last night. Seemed like he was having the time of his life.

Did you take the photo of him bumping some charlie off a key?

What could have been!... At least I didn't sing to her like Dua Lipa's ukelele bloke.
