    Last year was the first time that I needed to make use of the resale since I started going. Managed to get a ticket OK and keep the streak going.

    Has anybody here ever had any luck before in the re sale? Realisticly it's a massive long shot I presume!
    3 years ago got through on the resale right away at 9am no problem.

    It's hard to know if you've more or less of a chance. But I'd say the odds are slimmer. Considering how hard they are to get very few people return tickets.

    Any specific tips? I'm relying on the resale tonight/Sunday

    For the coach sale, Taunton is close to the festival site and tends to sell a bit slower than Bristol so might be worth a shot at trying for.

    In general, have reg numbers and postcodes open in a word doc to copy paste, avoids typos slowing you down

    Maybe the worst Other/Holts headliner line ups ever. Pyramid is great if it's your first visit to the farm.

    How condescending....

    It's hard to objectively judge a line up but I'd find it just as hard to say that it's a bad line-up so far.

    Who's your other/west holt headliners that you're clearly not keen on?

    I'm already worried about clashes and the line up is nowhere near complete.

    Soz chief, didn't mean to rag on the place. One from six is a bad return for me this year however.

    ATCQ/Jacksons/Chic

    I have little to no interest in the other stage headliners too but rarely there's more than one I'd be happy with seeing.

    A lot of acts who could be headlining that stage appear to be subbing the pyramid which works for me.

    I'm assuming Justice will be headlining west holts on Sunday with Chic on the pyramid.

    That's a quality line up as always as far as I'm concerned.

    The new map is out. Looks identical to me though?

    Edit: nevermind, that Cinermageddon area is new. Sounds cool.

    http://www.somersetlive.co.uk/8203-glastonbury-festival-new-cineramageddon-area-by-julian-temple-and-the-creator-of-the-unfairground/story-30144293-detail/story.html#QeyIyw7sGxctZ33s.99
    Michael and Emily Eavis have revealed more details about Cineramageddon – the new area coming to Glastonbury Festival in 2017.

    The new area, to the west of the Park Stage, is the brainchild of artist Sam Haggerty - overseen by Joe Rush, founder of the Mutoid Waste Company - and film director Julian Temple.

    The new area will be somewhere between an art installation and a drive-in movie theatre.

    Festivalgoers will sit inside 100 classic American and Cuban cars and watch movies projected onto a massive outdoor screen while sound comes from Bluetooth speakers in each car.

    I like that there isn't any family campervan area marked on the map. Leaves me a bit of hope that it will be just the normal free for all and the fact that I'll have a toddler in the back of the van they will let me into the same area as the rest of our group.
