"So who got tickets this morning, first time for me.... So excited. "
I know they sold out so I am in a minority here.
Why the fook would you buy tickets at £240 when you don't even know who is playing? |

If you knew the answer to that, you'd have been trying for tickets. Over a hundred stages, theatre, comedy all forms of performing art, not just music. It more like a big carnival than a typical music festival.
As for all being middle class, myself and the 64 others I got tickets with today mostly work for a living... there's a few students too. |

I don't know the answer to who will play. So I did not pay. But I wish those that did the best of luck.
Just not for me. |

"Glastonbury is like Premier League football; expensive, full of prima donnas and taken over by the middle classes. Real fans and followers have been squeezed out by the trendies."
Says the man who used to jump the fence and ruined it for the rest of us :P
Yes, all things change. And Glastonbury is something I have grown up with and have known 4 separate incarnations in my lifetime.
It can be very white middle class. I rarely watch the Main/Other stages because the periphery of Glastonbury - healing & green fields, cabaret, circus, theatre, comedy, side-show freakery, WTF IS THAT?!!!
That's what I go for.
I played the piano in the secret underground piano bar year before last. Last time I went with an American millionaire.
Fuck you. It's what you make of it.

However, in 2003 I watched a C4 programme called Round the World in 80 Raves where a bunch of kids convinced C$ executives to give them a bus and a wedge of cash to party their way from East coast to West in the US. The only programme I tuned in to was the one where they went to Burning Man.
I don;t quite remember what it was they saw or did their but their reaction to it stayed with me.
So, after a year of planning, walking to work and eating packed lunches to pay for it, I went to Burning Man for the first time in 2004.
Gotta do something different, right?

There was the year I went in an orange jumpsuit on which I'd painted:
CAUTION!
ESCAPED TERRORIST
CONTACT AUTHORITIES AND RETURN TO CAMP X-RAY, GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA
Which I set off with a head scarf and a plastic Kalashnikov. Brilliant.
Every now and then I would find myself being rugby-tackled to the ground by some joker shouting, "FBI! We've got him!"

Yawn!
I'd rather have a cuppa at home than be at some wankfest full of irritating twats!
I met most of the burning man bores in Goa over the years!
Do it, enjoy it - but don't go on about it no one else cares!

I do, I will and I have captivated many people with my tales of dust and mud.
I actually keep two vials by my bedside, one with dust and another with mud.
That's my life. And it's a good one, thank you very much.

Good for you Joe! It's something that I'd love to do as *whispers* I've never been to a festival
There's no need for all the snobbery or the dismissal of others tastes, if you enjoy it then what's the harm

I've been going since I was a youngster and love it there. Very pleased to have tickets for next year and know that whoever headlines for me at least it'll be worth the less than £40 a day to go! |

I got tickets again this year for the 3rd year running along with 80 odd of my friends
It's value for money in my opinion even if you don't like what the BBC is showing on the main stages there's so much other choice that you'll almost always find something you like and if you don't it's a chance to chill out for a bit |

2017 will be my 7th and my partner's 1st. Looking forward to showing her as much as we can fit in and especially looking forward to getting handfasted in the Healing fields on weds evening. Going with a fantastic bunch of friends who split between the fields and Campervan areas. 173 Days to go! |
