Baj Posted 4 October, 2008 Share Posted 4 October, 2008 Anyone getting their tickets tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swannymere Posted 5 October, 2008 Share Posted 5 October, 2008 My sister and her boyfriend got theirs, cannot ferkin' believe they're going to be £175 each That means the price has nearly doubled in 6-7 years, how the **** are kids going to be able to afford those prices? Bloody rip-off ever since ME invited all the others on board. Still the best festival, just glad i don't have to pay to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 5 October, 2008 Share Posted 5 October, 2008 Got the deposit down, lovely stuff. Not sure if I can go though due to having exams at roughly that time, so hopefully they'll be finished by Glasto time. I truly believe that Glastonbury is a fantastic festival. You can't compare it to other festivals like Reading and V Festival, because it's just got that something really special about it. I also like being able to get into the front of the Pyramid Stage for virtually any slot by timing your arrival right. Saw some great sets from down at the front this year. Gossip, Editors, Crowded House, Amy Winehouse.. it was all good. Looking forward to Glasto 2009 immensely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been before? If so your reg number is valid for 3 years, just re-use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 6 October, 2008 Share Posted 6 October, 2008 Hang on.... Mr Eavis wants people to fork out £175 for a ticket now, hut won't announce the line-up until a month before the festival???????? Isn't that a bit like paying £25 for a CD without knowing what's on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 6 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 6 October, 2008 ouch that was expensive. £175 per ticket is £180 with booking fee. Well that's ok I guess, except they add a ****ing transaction fee as well, what a crock of ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 £175+ is pretty damn expensive for a ticket, but it's so worth it. Seen as i'm too thrifty to fork out for a full membership, what's everyone's bets for headliners? I think: Friday Main - Blur Other - Franz Ferdinand Saturday Main - Oasis Other - Depeche Mode Sunday Main - Radiohead Other - Feeder Of course they're completely unrealistic, but i'd probably decorate my pants if that was the lineup.

Junction 9 Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 Am I the only one who doesn't care who's playing? If there's a band I love I see it as a bonus, if not I check out new stuff or do something else at the festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody rip-off ever since ME invited all the others on board. Still the best festival, just glad i don't have to pay to get in. Last time i went in 1986 it was £15 a ticket which i thought was expensive so sneaked in without paying like alot of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a band I love I see it as a bonus, if not I check out new stuff or do something else at the festival. I really don't care about who is playing. I think that it would be best if no information about the lineup was released until all the tickets had been sold. I remember a few years ago when Oasis headline Friday night. I saw a number of people leaving on Sat morning as they had only come to see them. This is so unfair when there would have been thousands of people sat at home who where unable to get tickets who didn't care about the bands but just wanted to be there for the atmosphere.

I only really saw Jay-Z last year so agree with the earlier comments about not really being bothered about headliners, although if the Cure were to be reformed i'd be chuffed.

swannymere Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 Just heard Mick Fleetwood (work it out yourself!) on The One Show say that the band are going to tour again next year with rehearsals slated for Jan 09. Got to be a dead cert surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
