Who else is going? I know there was an old thread but all I can find on search is the threads from 2008 and 2009. Who's up for meeting up for a quick drink?

Does anyone know what time the traffic starts to get busy? I'm trying to figure out what time to leave to dodge the worst of the traffic.

I'm setting off about 8am on Saturday  ;yippee;

For those who are paying guests the car parks will be open on Tuesday night to avoid the traffic jams that occurred last year. (some folks had taken over 8 hours from Bristol ...)

Car parks open at 9pm but no entertainment, no food, no facilities.... The gates don't open till 8am on Wednesday - I'll be there to check your tickets and smile. I( do three shifts for Oxfam and that Wednesday morning one will be my final contribution  ;D

More info here http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/getting-here/

Enjoy!

Going down this Saturday am, camping a few days at Isle of Avalon before heading to Glasto.Aiming to arrive on site Tuesday evening in readiness for gate opening Wednesday morning.  Will deffo share a beer if our paths cross.
All packed,can't wait.
 ;letsparty; ;letsparty;


i  will be here (ish)

wish I was! have a great time everyone who's going :)up

Well I'm leaving brum at some point on Weds. Wondering whether it's 6am or 4am or 8am... I'm usually pretty good at arriving at Reading with about 3 cars ahead of me in the distance and a queue behind me...

this weds Bongo or next?

I have something brewing that needs you Primark man

The traffic onto the site may be quiet on Wednesday but if there are loads of cars already parking up overnight the queues for ticket checking and wristband exchange are likely be rather long first thing.

Next weds.

I don't want to spend an extra week in a field!

Phew

Weather forecast for next week?

Traditionally car parks, roads etc busy 7am till 10am and then a lull till mid afternoon on the Wednesday, but its still crazy, and of course its always better coming from the South Red W32 ftw.
With the car parks opening Tuesday and the world cup game Wednesday I expect it to be all messed up - just leave as early as possible, late is bad.

This years festival sees me break 100 days on Worthy farm and my 15th Glasto and I am as excited this year as I was for the first.
The obligatory virgin of the group is Boo this year, so that should be fun and his excitement is quite infectious - come share the fun, always enough cider from Roger's for all.

Ahhh 5 days till Roger's cider, 7 till the solstice and 9 till gates open, I love life.

the earlier you get there wednesday the less the queues will be from motorway, get there at 10-12am you can expect 3-4hrs queing, 6am hardly any. one you are parked the queues to actualy get in are never that bad.

if you're taking a lot of gear make sure you have a good sturdy trolley and roll of cling film to wrap round your stuff. depends which car park you end up as to how far the walk is, if you are taking a van then you can park by the gate for some reason.

don't rush into a camping spot keep walking for a good while, don't camp at the bottom of the hill on your right by the main path, anywhere up the hills are cool, don't camp by paths.

set up camp as quickly as possible then head out and get completely spannered for 5 days.

breaking my 10 year ever present record this year, stupid fucking wedding. i actually feel upset typing it.

and have an amazing time everyone. hard not to really, its so so much more than any other festival.

Gutted for ya . . . . is it your wedding?  If not it better be someone you love very much.

Saving for my wedding. My dad said he could get me a ticket the other day so theres still a chance i'll say fuck it and put the wedding back a few months.

Right, heading off tomorrow AM,  just wanna wish all those in Vegas some run good, i hope to have several "funkin for" threads to catch up on when i return.

Have a great time :)

Sir Damon Albarn....Blur headline 2009, Gorillaz headline 2010!!!

Stick to Blur m8, Gorillaz suck!!!

Have a BRILLIANT time Lads!!!

I've just made some Fisho to take!

Had a great time, slightly marred by someone trying, and failing, to burgle my tent was I was sleeping. Luckily the gf noticed and he ran away. I woke up midway through and shouted and was told "calm down, there was a man in the tent". Obv knows I like my sleep...

Glasto was excellent.

Highlights for me were ,the incredible weather, Ray Davies singing Sunny Afternoon as the sun beat down on us , Slash - the guy can rock ! , Neville Staples , Broken Bells - very impressive , Steve Harley and of course Stevie Wonder - my legs forgot how tired they were once the opening bars of Masterblaster kicked in.

Less Impressive were burnt feet and knees (sigh), the hike up Glastonbury Tor (so tiring but a magnificent view), Scissor Sisters (saved from a very disappointing rating by the appearence of Kylie) , Muse (promised much with a great opening but failed to deliver)


Very disappointing ....my stamina whilst carrying my equipment onto site ,  Faithless (wanted so much to enjoy them but was so so disappointed), sky + failing to record anything.



Have to say an enormous thanks to Nakor for pre festival advice , transport and for being an absolute font of Glasto Knowledge, bless you Sir , the last nine days have been fucking amazing.


Roll on 2011  !

I only saw Muse of those you listed, and only the backend of them as I was watching Laura Marling on the Park stage prior to that.

for Bongo & Booder....

tickets on sale oct 3rd, time to check those registrations, mine had expired

last chance to check your registration is still in date, no more accepted after tomorrow, ticket sale on sunday

anybody managed to get a ticket?

been tryin g for 2 hours on 2 laptops 1 firfox 1 internet explorer neither will connect to seetickets its a joke

ditto. same for the other 20 i know trying to get a ticket as well.

i know someone that got tickets put in her 2 then clicked buy more and the page crashed obv i was the person she was buying more for sigh

less than half the tickets availble left gg my first glasto :-(

use http://www2.seetickets.com/g2011/regform.asp?orig=uk&method=DEPOSIT rather than the addy on their site that noone can connect to. got mine

already tried that.

Can you still get on? I always used to get them via my mum who had an awful slow dial up connection that always worked.

Try the link as per Gatso's post.
Hardwire to router rather then wi-fi (prob makes no difference but seems to help me)

GL all.

One more year - weeeeeeeeeeeee

i love the way people that have been a few times before seem to be getting tickets first timers i know none have got them yet MBSFN

that's because people who've been before know not to use the link on the website

your link does the same thing as the one on the website....internet explorer cannot display the webpage or the connection was reset on firefox

omg just got to the in a que page that auto refreshers every 20 secs...first time it refreshed it kicked me off the page sigh

open up as many windows as you can tile on screen, bang in the url I posted and just let them all autorefresh. shouldn't be too long until one of them changes to the purchase screen

and use firefox if you've got it, people have been having problems on ie and chrome kicks you out half way through the buying process

i've been hypnotized by watching 20 browsers auto reload every 10 seconds for an hour.

in the que for 30 min then it just refreshed and threw me back to cannot display the page

wounder. mbn just to be in the queue.

This could be the first year i fail to get tickets.

I don't understand this. how can you not get to the queueing page? I can open up as many browsers as I like and they all go straight there. are you using the link I posted?

whooooo hooooo just got straight on and booked Glasto here we come ty gatso for the link got there in the end

maybe its regional or something. i've not had a sniff of the queue, booking page or anything.

what info does it require when you get on the booking page?

if you can get on at will do you fancy getting me some tickets?

sold out

final ticket sale this sunday for those that missed out

lineup announced today

primal scream for me on the friday, hopefully not too packed as everyone will be watching u2 play the same song over and over on the pyramid at the same time

other than that will pretty much wing it and see where I end up

Friday is going to be very very messy.
Primal Scream for me also Friday.

Not long now.

i'm teetering on the brink of buying tickets this sunday as a surprise for the missus.

Do it! You won't be able to next year.


Zingzillas headlining the Kidzfield is a winner :-)

Other highlights to make some sort of plan for... Primal Scream, John Cooper Clarke, Hurts, Steve Frost's Improv AllStars, Mundo jazz and the rest of it we'll make up as we go along
