    I don't. Getting a 2 person podpad is my priority now. The bedding was just a nice to have.

    Should I not secure one of those when WV goes on sale I'll look at other options.

    Snap - feel like I am stalking the WV page for the on sale date and time

    Thanks for posting that, for some reason I was thinking that the campervan tickets didn't go on sale until the balance payment date.

    Podpad recommended? Looks good, but I've not done WV before so not sure.

    Depends on what you're after and budget - but for 2 people, they're ideal!
    Unfortunately, they're in high demand... and lots of people, including myself (and others in my group) will be also looking for them.

    Does that mean they are just as difficult to get hold of as a ticket for the festival?

    Also, does anyone know what the yurts are like, in terms of comfort and availability.

    Pricier than the pod pad so I'm curious as to what they have to offer.

    They sold out last year in 3 minutes so yep, best have a second option in mind.

    Ugh, that's annoying. I assume seetickets doesn't up the server capacity to make it a more pleasant experience for all.

    It's just going to be that there are relatively so few available, and whilst there will be less people hammering the server than during the general sale it really won't take long at all to sell just a small number of places. More servers would just make them sell in seconds instead so you'd miss out if your watch wasn't properly synchronised to GMT.

    In recent years, typically you'd get one headliner before Christmas IIRC.

    Which is why the rumour of Daft Punk is looking ever more unlikely if they're announcing a new tour next week.

    This does now have the record of being the earliest announcement for a Glastonbury headliner however..
    Previous being REM being announced in 2003 on October 24th.
