Might be wrong but don’t think Sam Smith has played a set on the farm since being lumped with the ‘opposite Dolly’ slot in 2014. Don’t blame them if that was an insult that still lingers tbh. 

Indeed - admittedly this was a few years ago now, but talking to one of the office staff I was told it's "about half". Even if that's gone up substantially since then, I'd still expect priority to be an effective guarantee of a Glastonbury place (though obviously they can't/won't advertise it as such). It's the likes of Bearded and Trees where it becomes a scramble.

How did they manage before the internet? 

Yeah, just tough to see folk get their umpteenth straight year and not get the feeling that it’s an exclusive club.

MK was ridiculous. Like I said, I walked to the front, asked the person at the front of the queue if I could go before them and I would buy them a pint. Easily cut an hour out of my day and someone got a free pint out of it. No harm done. And again, like I said, if you’re standing there for an hour plus waiting to buy a drink, you’re a fool.
