Glastonbury tickets re-available!

Yep, sorry if I woke you up with that call this morning Dom, sounded like I might have done, but it was worth it! Party on indeed...
 
It's worth keeping on checking the site if you're after tickets though. It seems as though Aloud aren't working that quickly through the backlog of duplicate tickets and it's highly likely more will become available.
 
enlighten me.
whats the big deal about glasto?
is it the vibe or the music?
personally i've got w/e camping tickets for the chelmsford v festival. muse.pixies.strokes. if thats all i see and aslong as iget legless and laugh a lot that'll do for me
 
It's both the vibe and the music, there's so much on to see besides the bands, all the stuff in the green fields, but musically there's a far more eclectic and diverse range than any of the other festivals (with the possible exception of Womad).

It's nice to be able to sit around a campfire at night and chat to random strangers as well (something you can't do at any other festivals as campsite security will put your fire out (at V you can be ejected for having one as happened to someone at work last year)).

Plus it goes on later than any of the other festivals, most of which have a strict 11pm curfew.
 
PLUS - WOMAD and Glasters are the only two I know to have the Lunched Out Lizard chai tea tent :)

Plentiful truffles, stone circle sunrises, good atmos, nice people and the most laid back vibe ever; my first fest was Reading 98, and compared to that (fights, roughness, on edge anyone?) Glasters is a candyland of, err, candy, good tunes and good vibes.

And this is only my second one!!!
 
Mud, dirt, noise, smell, drugs, sleeping rough, err I don't think your missing much mate, just watch it on TV.

It may well be more commercialised, can't really comment as the first time I went was only 6 years ago, but I think the majority of that revolves around the main 2 stages and dance tent... off in the Greenfields is a whole other world, loads of great small stages. It'd be easy to spend the whole time there!

There's loads of great smaller festivals too. Off The Tracks looks to be a pretty good one, there's the Wickerman festival in Scotland, the Levellers have a small one going down here in Devon, called Beautiful Days.

This year I'm definitely doing Glastonbury, one day of V (the ultimate in commercial festival), Bridgnorth folk fest and as many small local beer festivals as my liver can handle!

Festivals rule. Camping rules.

Hmmm.... Open your mind, dude. You don't have to do drugs. And the Turdises aren't as bad as everyone makes out either.

Camping isn't sleeping rough; you DO have a roof over your head :) Even if my roof leaked last year - GOT to get some new waterproofing stuff...

Plus - they don't (AFAIK) show the sunrise from the Stone Circle on TV...

I'm NOT going to tempt fate on the "there was hardly any mud last year" thing though, 'cos if I do, it'll be 1998 all over again (Ian can tell us all about that one!).

Ah but Womad's full of middle class, sandle wearing, Guardian reading, vegetarian couples and their horrible brats slumming it for the weekend .... actually Glasto's got a bit like that too ... oh well.
