Anyone planning to go? Tickets go on sale 3rd April

I've never been before but I really want to go this year, before I get to old and decrepid to enjoy it

I went a few times and it was good fun on the whole but I think the weekend hippies would get on my tits these days.

Don't think you can be too old to enjoy Glastonbury.....I haven't been for a while,  because it seems you have to be so much more organised these days.....I went to the first and a number of others when you could turn up, if you fancied it at the last minute.

Too right on the organisation point Reg.

Getting up at 9am and trying all sunday morning to get tickets is going to piss me right off.

Fair play for going to the first one too.

That won't be a problem.

I'm thinking of going but not sure if i can arsed to act like a hippy for a long weekend  :)

I can understand why it became necessary to be so organised....and I'm sure when there you can still have a cracking time.......the first one was quite a small scale thing, but I'd left school, was taking some time out,  and it was reasonably close so went for a few days.

I'm going to act normally. Plenty of alcohol and plenty of weed :beers  :doobie

Yep definately off this year with a few mates then hopefully the burning man fesitval in Vegas later in this year or if not next.

Never been before, don't fancy all the mud mind, can I bring a camper instead of a tent?


Title: Glastonbury 05
Post by: yeo on Monday, March 14, 2005, 20:46:24
Yes you can but I think you get parked a bit out of the way which shouldnt really be a problem .

I think you can Dazzza, a load of mates went last year (could have been'93 though), and took two big camper/transit type vans.

They parked them along side each other with about ten feet in between and connected them with a huge awning type thing, so creating a nice size communal drink, drug, sleep commune for the weekend.

Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 14, 2005, 21:00:55
Its a further 45 for a camper van though.

it'll depend on the line-up; i'm not exactly thrilled by kylie at a festival.

i'm hoping reading has a decent hip-hop tent like last year but if glasto gets roots manuva and the beasties as rumoured, i'll do my best to get there.

Hoping to go, but unfortunately i'll be on a coach coming back from france when the tickets go on sale, so i'm either gonna have to call from the bus in france or get someone else to use the on-line booking thing for me.

Not been before, but we'd decided to go this year, why do they mock me so by opening the box office at this time?

We went once to try and get in on a sunday, got paranoid about all the coppers and ended up smoking bongs down a country lane, watching the lights and listneing on the radio.

The joys of being 17 :soapy tit wank:

Oh, and my mate managed to drive 120 miles to get there when it's only about 50 away.
