Never been to Glastonbury . Know people that go every year . We are getting old and one of us has incurable cancer . Contacted Emily / Micheal .. guessing it will hit a shield but that was my address and title of recipient. Explained our predicament and that time is running out for us . Explained that attendees for 20 years plus , people who attend every year and will do so forever , may consider stepping aside for one year to make a space for myself and my wife . 
Glastonbury did respond , and fair play to them for that . Nothing can be done is the response . I wished them Well and said we will watch on TV again this year . God Willing

What’s stopping you trying for tickets along with everyone else?

Your post is a saddening one - on a number of fronts.

 

All the best.

You've still got chances with the ticket sale 👍

Sorry to hear that, but there’s still time to register for the ticket sale (you need to do this before you can get tickets on ticket sale day which we think will be a weekend November, but date not announced yet). The link is here. Good luck! https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/registration

Terry, attending Glastonbury can actually be quite hard work, and the view of the pyramid stage is far better at home than it is in the majority of the field. Don't see watching from home as being a bad thing, you get to flick between the big stages at the press of a button and have all your creature comforts at hand, including shelter from extreme heat or rain, whichever is being thrown at those on site

I’d agree with that. Try for tickets but if not successful then watch on tv. And then maybe, during the quiet months, go for a site visit wandering around seeing the stone circle, the dragon etc. always respecting the site,  that can be an experience.

Yes, it can be a haul, but if you're willing to fork out a bit, you could get a hotel nearby and be selective about when you enter to avoid queues etc. It depends on your situation really. But you might as well register 👍
