Glastonbury 2014: not as good as it used to be

[Johnny Textface]

I went to the Leeds festival last year. It was fucking shite. The site is so small that sound bleeding was horrendous, the food caravans are of the generic 'burger and chips' variety and Eminem blatantly mimed.

Interesting that the prices for Reading and Glastonbury are so similar when Glastonbury pay the bands playing a tiny fraction compared to the other festivals.  I read that Metalica got paid a tenth of the going rate for their headline slot.  Of course they give lots of money to charity so that kind of answers my question.  I wonder how much V is?  Surely they pay their headliners even more.

The Currant Bun are reporting that Call Me Miss Ross is signed up for next year's Sunday Legends Slot.

Post your secret back door links pls.

Sold out in 29 minutes. Page crashed at the confirmation screen for us, so pretty sure we missed out.

Well my plan to do my first ever Glastonbury was quickly squashed. Fuck you very much.

The annoying thing is that a load of mates who are "95% sure they're not off, but nice to have the option" got tickets. Fucking point of this deposit system is I don't know.

The resale is often a bit less hectic, so you definitely shouldn't be giving up at this point.

Try getting in by doing some work. Litter picking or Oxfam stewards are a good start. Now's the time to get it sorted. You might have to do a bit of work or you can sack it off and get mashed but you'll lose your deposit.

Got mine! Five of us going this time, ace!

Agreed. The resale should see you right.

I failed this morning - I had a hard enough time getting the waiting screen, let alone the booking screen. That's the first time I've not bagged tickets within 5 minutes of trying. My heart sank when I saw it had sold out but then a friend let me know she'd gotten through and bagged me a ticket. So I'm going. I'm thrilled but slightly taken aback by the sheer difficulty in getting them. Half the time I just got a 'connection timed out' page.

Lionel Richie confirmed for the Sunday afternoon legends slot.

Fuck yes.

[Artemis]

Yeah, happy with that. Not as excited as I was for Dolly Parton, but he's unquestionably a legend. That's a great booking.

[BlodwynPig]

You lot are fucking crackers...

"Yeh, happy with that bland crap...happy with that"

[Artemis]

You're the only one using the expression 'bland crap', though, isn't it.

[George Oscar Bluth II]

If we get a ten minute version of All Night Long I'll be happy.

FIESTA! FOREVER!
