20th for me, i crew there.... its lovely til all the VIPs come in (very Intoxicated Punters) :P
i can understand the inability to get to meet, i make arrnagements with people evry year to meet at xxx time... rarely works out.... most of my glastobuds come and find me in a ditch somewhere, they know my haunts now
intrigued by your plan Ben
My plan just went out the window I had a look on the website and they are sold outMind you I could cam up and sneak under a fence somewhere LOL
CLAP clearly loudly, as an order, with pauses

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

lol, they sold out on the day they were released in october last year, and again on the resales in april and may (due to cancellations)
you have to be a very early bird to buy tickets nowadays, need to register and submit photo advance and then get your buying plan together for ticket day.
or just know me, i seem to have a nack of buying tickets, only needed the one for my son (as wife and I are crew, daughter is free) but bought for friends and friends of friends too....... got 18 in total and still had other booking pages open! lol
and there is no way you can get through the fence now, there is a 1 mile exclusion zone into which you need a pass or ticket to enter, then there are I beams pile driven into the ground (to stop people ramming vehicles throught he fence.. yes its happened) then a track way boted to the bottom of the fence, the fence its self is purpose built, 30 foot high, goes underground for a couple of metres, has anothe trackway botled inside, then another fence inside of the main, the "moat" in between is patrolled by security in landrovers and horseback, there are watch towers and cctv....... the fence is secure several weeks prior to the festie, the site is searched (including drug dogs for any stashes), finally, there is helicopter based cctv too.......
its more secure than most of our prisons :P the only way you get in nowadays without a ticket is like this...................

The hippies that started glasto back in '69 must be proud.
Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?
only Andrew Kerr left now, Bella Churchill died a couple of years back
the fence had to go up, in 2000 the fence came down completely...... 0ver 300000 people were on site when it was only geared up for about 130000..... i was there with my bro in law, no wife or kids and we were still scared, you could stand in front of the pyramind, looking up the hill into camping and watch people run through ransacking tents.... it had become lawless and without the self rule of hippy anarchy that existed prior to the 1990s
since the fence, its become a happy chilled party place again
so, i dont blame the festival or the organisers (even in light of the screams of commercialism from the crusty traveller community) i blame the chavs, neds and crims that made the place horrible and dangerous
Hi Adam
I will be coming
Im bringing Maia and she will be kept on a lead, ( i have a stake and long lead too) i need to make sure any other dogs will be too as shes fed raw bones, wouldnt be good if someone came near them. Shes mostly fine with others, but others tend to not like her. So i am responsible for her and have strict rules but need to check that i have the same back? I cant deal with dogs off leads keep coming up and winding her up as i am on a chemo treatment and im coming to meet people and do some natural healing, which im in great need of, happy to offer some to anyone else whos in need too. So i think i had better check the situation rather than turn up and be in a situation thats too much for me. Thanks
The naughty side of me said "take along a wind-up toy dog"..... but then the good side of me told myself off very severely....
Hope you have a robust sense of humour Tess or I am off to a very bad start on our friendship with that comment! Really looking forward to meeting you, lots to learn from you I am sure, as you've obviously had a wide range of very interesting learning opportunities around the globe. I've always liked to keep a very open mind on the spiritual beliefs of other cultures, and the healing powers inherent in those beliefs, so eager to hear your views.
I hope you find the meet a rewarding and refreshing experience.
Lucy
