swannymere Posted 5 October, 2008 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.
Baj Posted 5 October, 2008 Author Posted 5 October, 2008 We didnt re-register so going to do that tomorrow, not sure how long before our re-reg is complete and we can get our tickets tho.
SuperMikey Posted 5 October, 2008 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!
Junction 9 Posted 5 October, 2008 Posted 5 October, 2008 We didnt re-register so going to do that tomorrow, not sure how long before our re-reg is complete and we can get our tickets tho. Have you been before? If so your reg number is valid for 3 years, just re-use it.

Sheaf Saint Posted 6 October, 2008 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?
Baj Posted 6 October, 2008 Author 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 ****.
SuperMikey Posted 7 October, 2008 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.
The Saturday Boy Posted 8 October, 2008 Posted 8 October, 2008 Michael Eavis has said he hopes that Kanye West will headline the Other stage at some point over the weekend.
The Saturday Boy Posted 8 October, 2008 Posted 8 October, 2008 Sorry forgot to add the link! http://www.teletext.co.uk/planetsound/news/b5568d03e253e98b3c8f45cf31716a4c/Exclusive+Glasto+Kanye.aspx
Junction 9 Posted 8 October, 2008 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.

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.

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.

Exactly, and how sh*t were Oasis that night?
swannymere Posted 8 October, 2008 Posted 8 October, 2008 Exactly, and how sh*t were Oasis that night? I don't know what it is about Oasis and Glastonbury but they just don't hit it off do they? 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 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?
Andy_Porter Posted 11 October, 2008 Posted 11 October, 2008 Daft Punk on the pyramid stage would just be amazing.
swannymere Posted 11 October, 2008 Posted 11 October, 2008 Daft Punk on the pyramid stage would just be amazing. And so 10 years ago.....
Andy_Porter Posted 12 October, 2008 Posted 12 October, 2008 And so 10 years ago..... Did they already headline once?
Baj Posted 13 October, 2008 Author Posted 13 October, 2008 /just getting a little excited.... http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/080917b.shtml

Isn't that a bit like paying £25 for a CD without knowing what's on it? It's a bit like forking out for a football season ticket without knowing what quality of football one will see......erm, on second thoughts....
