Glastonbury 2010

markcellardoor

let us know when you get yours. When did you get the email?

markcellardoor

ticket in today and 3 weeks to go. Gorillaz are a great replacement. here we go.

pauliewallie

got my ticket this morning

we will be on site on thursday morning .... anybody got a recommendation on where to camp?

last year we camped near the wicket ground (which is family camping this year) ... wouldnt mind camping near John Peel as it is kinda central for Pyramid and Other stage but am open to other suggestions ....

Your always miles away from something at Glasto.

markcellardoor

I'm going to try Pennard's Hill again. It seems like the most central for the Other Stage & Pyramid. It's the liveliest too as well. Also close to the night arenas.

Although I like the idea of camping at Big Bround though. looks like an amazing view and you could almost look at the pyramid from your tent.

stinkle

ours have arrived apparently An post left a note yesterday saying to pick up something at the post office....which my OH tells me were our tickets! we must have to sign for them on delivery

robinph

Did you guys all get emails before they arrived?

Still no sign of any emails coming through for either of my orders yet.

markcellardoor

i got the email last Friday and got the tickets Monday.

My sister is expecting a coach ticket, she hasn't got a mail yet. I'd say they're still getting through them. You should be OK. You've until June 9th. I'd say if you don't have a mail by Friday give them a call.

I'm heading over on Wed night anyone up for a paddys meet up over
the weekend, suggestions wellcome

snazzy

Finally got an email from see saying out tickets have been dispatched but no order tracking number to say when!

As for camping, we're a family of 5 so we're going to head over to Woodsies, Wicket, Mead or Webbs Ash. Near the action but not so close as we won't be able to sleep/

Extrasupervery

Anyone flying from Cork to Bristol on the Thursday night?

robinph

Got the email yesterday to say that the courier had picked up the tickets, no tracking number yet though...

Extrasupervery

I got my tickets like two weeks ago...

Goat_Boy_jones

beartooth

I found a website that has a google earth thingy for glasto its pretty good; http://www.glastoearth.com/the-map

Goat_Boy_jones

just over a week now...people bringing tents over or buying them when they get there? Couldn't be arsed paying ryanair the extra charge to bring mine...

robinph

I saw something earlier where Millets would let you buy stuff that you'd then pick up at their onsite store so you'd not have to bother with carting it there yourself, could have been on the Glasto Facebook news feed but not sure now.

Goat_Boy_jones

Hmmm yeah seen that, can only imagine the collection queues for the tents tho... Last thing you want after a 12 hour hike to glasto...Think I might just pick up one of those pop out tents along the way...

gazzer

I might do that Millets thing and order stuff online. Flying with Ryanair so can only bring a small carryon bag. Might pack my sleeping bag, some clothes/toiletries and get a cheap tent over there.

Not long to go now. I am overdosing on fish oils, multi vitamins and milk thistle since last week in a hope that I am in fairly good knick for the 5 days at Glastonbury.

Toast

I've picked up stuff from Millets before. Never had an issue with queues but it probably depends what time you get there.

markcellardoor

don't want to jinx it or anything but this sounds promising:

this seems to be a decent site to keep an eye on forecast for the week ahead, yellow & orange are good. probably won't be accurate until Monday:

pauliewallie

I've been trying not to look at weather forecasts or even think about it so as not to jynx it ... but that does look promising ...fingers crossed

Getting close now ... think Gorrillaz are going to get the nod ahead of Flaming lips .. the Pyramid being the deciding factor.

Trying to draw up a list of Irish acts playing .. wont get to see half of them but always nice to check out Irish acts at a foreign festival .. like a proud parent

Christy Moore and Declan Synnot
Imelda May
Villagers
Fionn Regan
Two door Cinema club
Kormac Big band
Shouting at Planes
Ash
Julie feeny

many i'm missing ? ... I'm aware of brian kennedy

pauliewallie

Gandalf Murphy & The Slambovian Circus - he has got to be Irish right ?

beartooth

The Saw Doctors

Where/when are villagers on?

pauliewallie

Park Stage ... Sunday ... 1pm I think ... fionn regan is @ the same stage @ 3pm ... I intend catching them both

beartooth

Nice 1 i didn't spot villagers, thats my sunday afternoon planned too.

I will have to find time to go to Baz's Acid House to see 808 State Play :cool:

Also the cinema tent is meant to be showing Toy Story 3D on Sun morning at 11am. If i am around at that time I might pop into that

Got a couple of cards today for my free pints of Brothers.

Thanks to Colin I presume.

Does anybody know if there are any shops/stalls near the entrance to the festival where slabs of beer can be bought? Prob wont get a chance from when we get the bus from the aiport to when we arrive to buy any beer.
