F*#k Yeah Glasto!!!

Post by Daisy »

We got our tickets at 1hour and 20 minutes.

This is an actual dream come true for us, I cannot wait! We're "glamping" as we're taking the caravan rather than the traditional tent.

Argggggggggggggghhhh!! I am EXCITED!

[Glastonbury tickets sell out in record time

135,000 Glastonbury tickets were sold to fans who do not yet know who the headline acts will be

Glastonbury tickets have sold out in a record time of just 1 hour and 40 minutes after thousands of fans flooded the website and phone lines.

The festival's Twitter feed apologised to the "thousands" who missed out, adding that there had been some problems with getting through "due to the sheer volume of people".

Fans could reserve up to eight tickets - each costing £205 plus booking fee.

Any returned tickets will be put on sale in April 2013.

Thousands of people tried to log onto the ticket website when it opened at 09:00 BST, but many were unable to get onto the page because of the volume of hopeful music fans.

Festival organiser Emily Eavis tweeted: "Sorry to everyone who missed out and for any problems you had with the booking site."

Every ticket purchaser had to have registered on the site before the end of September. Those who managed to secure a ticket paid a £50 deposit immediately, with the remaining money due when the booking site reopens on 2 April 2013.

When tickets sold out at 10:40 BST, Michael and Emily Eavis posted a joint statement on Twitter saying: "We're genuinely humbled by the sheer number of people who would like to come to the festival and we dearly wish we could have you all along.

"Sadly, that just isn't possible, which means a significant number of people have missed out. Demand simply outstripped supply."

Tickets for next June's festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, which will draw about 135,000 people, cost £10 more than last year.

There was no event this year as the site in Somerset took a break.

As has been traditional in recent years, the headline acts for the 2013 festival were not announced before the tickets went on sale - although Mr Eavis told the BBC earlier this year that they had already been chosen.

Woot. Well done Daisy.

Though you had a full 20 minutes left, I don't know what te fuss was about.

And pay NO ATTENTION to the sour Gobstopper there. He is just well cheesed off.

(Greatest guitar riff EVER!! )
(Isn't that Paul Merton on drums?)


(God, would I like to do Sister Bliss.)

There he goes. Trying not to eat his stomach out with jealousy and casually discuss music.

You KNOW this is killing him, right Dais?
Bah!

Didn't I read somewhere that Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus are set to headline Glasto next year?
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Nah mate, they couldn't make it, so Lady Gaga and One Direction are the next choice....

I know, bless them.

Actually if Lady Gaga was on I'd love it! She is utterly fabulous :)

I know, I know! I'm so glad I'm not going... Even though rumours abound of a Cheeky Girls reunion...

There's a few there I'd like to see, but knowing my fucking luck they would all be on different stages at the same time. (Check out Seth Lakeman if you get the chance Daisy.)

Wow, that is a helluva line up....

I didn't know The Smashing Pumpkins were still touring....

But I have to wonder how Mick and the gang feel about The Rolling Stones getting second billing to "Arctic Monkey".... :D

The Stones were lucky to get on the bill at all I should imagine Jim, perhaps they got pensioners concessions. I wouldn't bother seeing them.


Here's some info on the main band...

I'm sure you wouldn't Strop...

If I know you, you'd be camped out in front of the stage waiting for Kenny Rogers to come on.... :P
