We have missed the bus more than once (Delayed flights/whatever) and our tickets were at the gate

I harassed them a bit with three emails, including a light threat of legal action given we had paid postal charges and live in a Common Travel Area with open borders which doesn't fit into the 'overseas' definition. They backed down and agreed to post mine, and having set a precedent they had to honour that request for anyone else who asked. Several did. It's all on the thread. That's one less extra hassle on the day.

Just checked the see tickets website and its still showing as box office collection pick up for our tickets even though they emailed me confirming they would post out tickets/CV tickets.

There were a few of us who received the same email few months back. Can yous check to see if yours has been changed ?

Maybe they forgot to update the site. Think I'll drop them an email just to be sure

I've just tracked my tickets using the ticket confirmation number, under Delivery Details it says my tickets "are in stock and will be despatched shortly to the address provided". My Address Details above that is my Dublin address. Am feeling hopeful it'll work out for those of us who requested posting...

Just checked and it says the same here for me 🤞

Toast

Says the same here. I wouldn't put it past See to still go "oops couldn't post them". Had the same happen a few times with them in the past with non Glastonbury tickets. All signs they were going to post them and then it turned into a collection. Hopefully not this time though.

That's quite a difference between Sat Pyramid and Other stage. lol

How do you mean?

TheIrishGrover

Well, I just mean on The Pyramid you have Macca, and Noel Galaghar and on T'Other you have Megan Thee Stallion and Burna Boy. Not much of an overlap in genres :D

The Nal

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119134014#Comment_119134014

Noel and Macca vs Burna Boy and Megan Thee Stallion.

That looks class. How to be in five different places at the same time is the problem.

I wonder will Robert Plant and Alison Krauss mostly play Led Zeppelin songs. Seems like they haven't played since 2015 and only did 2 zeppelin songs back then.

The Nal

No they only do a couple. And in the Nashville type style aswell.

MadYaker

Here's the Clashfinder :: Glastonbury 2022 Clashfinder it'll probably change a bit between now and the festival.

I was nearly going to print the full line up out in work but it's 57 pages haha

Seathrun66

I don't usually see much on The Other Stage, often too much indie landfill from the 90s/2000s, but the Friday is superb.

Sat headliner clashes are very bad, and Diana Ross vs Fontaines DC. Do I not like that?

The Nal

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119137420#Comment_119137420

Absolutely not even a conversation. Youll see Fontaines loads of times. Youll never see Diana again.

Fontaines have 1 good song aswell and its basically a rip off of Search and Destroy by iggy and the Stooges.

TheIrishGrover

While I wouldn't really be a Diana Ross fan, yeah, you'll never see her again (No spring chicken and fear of flying means she doesn't tour very often). She should be good cheezy fun if the crowd is in the mood. Lional Richie was fantastic a few years ago, remember? And I'm kind of sorry I missed Kylie even though I'm not really a fan. The Legends set is usually great craic (Tom Jones was the first Legends set I saw)

Just received a reply from Seetickets -

'Please ignore this, I have checked and you are on our manual list for delivery.

Your tickets will be posted in the coming weeks'

Fingers crossed !

If you go into Clashfinder > customise > highlights you'll have a list of everything. Highlight what your interested in then go back to Clashfinder > show only highlights. It'll hide any stages you've nothing highlighted on. This approach is handy for finding acts with more than one appearance too!

Libertines on at 1130 in the morning what's happened there ?

Agree on the Ross v Fontaines DC clash, only clash that has annoyed me, but an easy one to decide on, Ross all the way, Fontaines are playing Limerick in December and I doubt I'll ever see Diana Ross in Dolans.

No standout headliner for me on the Sunday, will give me time to roam.

I know !!! Let's wait (hope) and see.

Thanks

Friday afternoon looking a lovely stretch:

Confidence Man (Park)

Dry Cleaning (Park)

TLC (West Holts)

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 (West Holts)

But the first clash dilemma is the Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott (Acoustic) vs The Jesus & Mary Chain followed by Primal Scream (JPT).

Then Craig Richards (Wow), LTJ Bukem (Deeply Rooted), Don Letts (Glade Dome) or John Digweed (Glade).

Glorious problems to have!

MadYaker

I’ll definitely be at that digweed set, his glade sets are always great.

rubick

Thursday night Stonebridge is insane, but there's very little chance of getting in ffs. Plus there's no toilets so you have to leave and queue again.

dasdog

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119138392#Comment_119138392

Just noticed LTJ Bukem while jealously glancing through the stage line ups. Nice to see him still getting the respect he so richly deserves.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119138291#Comment_119138291

Same for me, but I'll catch the end of the Fontaines as I reckon that set will be a special moment for them.

Seathrun66

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119138250#Comment_119138250

Recent-ish tradition to have a big name open the Other Stage on a Friday morning. Beady Eye and the Kaiser Chiefs have previously done it, maybe James also.

Seathrun66

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119138392#Comment_119138392

Always wanted to see TLC but that's a tough clash with Supergrass/Robert Plant & Alison Krauss. Dilemmas dilemmas. Will get to the end of Seun Kuti though and get my Goan curry en route.

In better news I'm likely to see all of The Undertones. Seem 'em loads but they are The Undertones and that could be a raucous set. And thereafter the Mary Chain/Heaton conundrum. Billie Eillish for me after, reckon her set will be special. Only the second Glasto for me since the 80s where I'm intending to see all three Pyramid headliners, so you'll know where to avoid me Rubick.

rubick

Haha we'll not be near any Pyramid headliners this year but don't be taking it personally!

Not yet. 😁 Yard Act in William's Green at 6.30 on Fri is another to consider, plus two surprise acts there on Thur night. Last time i was there it was Metronomy and The 1975 so I'm reining in my expectations.

Poorside

Denise Chalia just said she's playing, will hopefully make that.

Friday at 16:15 on BBC introduces stage, looks like Girl in Red is getting bumped, bit of an overlap with another Limerick singer Sinead O Brien that I'm hoping to get to.

Dreamweapon

God i'd love to be in that John Peel tent Friday Night. Mary Chain followed by Primal Scream? Yes please. Can't believe there's even a debate to be had 😉

Surprised at Fontaines afternoon slot. I'm not really a fan but i would've expected higher billing tbh.

Twelve years and counting now since i was last there. Ah, some day i shall return (i hope).

SO'B on Jools Holland ten days ago and was referred to as a Dublin singer. I'd have a word with them Poorside. Caught her supporting another Limerick crew Whenyoung about three years ago, thought she was good but inessential. Chaila I'll definitely try to make. Irish acts Sprints and NewDad also in William's Green over the weekend.

Poorside

Was a toss up between SOB and Girl in Red, with GiR leading the way, Denise just came knocked both on the head.

Anyone going from Bristol Airport and how are you getting to the festival?

MadYaker

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119141924#Comment_119141924

Bus from the airport to the city, temple meads station. Then off to Tesco / Boots whatever to stock up, then back to temple meads station and a bus to the festival. You can book the bus from Bristol to the festival here: Coach Travel & Airport Transfers | National Express and you don't need to book the bus from the airport to the city centre, you can just buy a ticket outside the terminal building and busses are every 20 mins or something, it's easy to find.

grape86

Thanks a mill for that

The Nal

If theres a few of you get a taxi and ask the driver to stop for 10 minutes in a Tesco or wherever.

MadYaker

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119142972#Comment_119142972

We looked at this in the past, it was more expensive and not any quicker, it’s 70km so it’ll be an expensive taxi. Plus you don’t know what gate you’ll end up at depending on police directing traffic and I want to go in through gate A which is the only one the busses can go to.

The Nal

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119143450#Comment_119143450

Ive done it a few times. Pricey alright but if theres 4 people its ok. 40 quid each ish. The coach is 25 quid. Stop in Shepton Mallet for supplies. Ive done it in about an hour and 15 mins before - airport to Gate A.

Its much much quicker than waiting for a bus to bring you back the other direction into Bristol, going to the shop, then back to the station and waiting on another bus to bring you down to the site which takes 3 or 4 hours all in.

The taxi drop off is across the road from Gate A.

I used https://www.airporttaxis-uk.co.uk/ in the past to book a taxi to the festival. Glastonbury Festival is a destination in their quote system. Add Tesco on Tucker St in Wells as an intermediate stop. Its showing 71 for a 4 person taxi one way there now (might not get 4 people and gear in a small car though). They've quotes for bigger cars too. Always have a bit of small notes to chuck the drivers a decent tip too. The traffic in and out can be a nightmare at times and it is a fixed rate.

I never bothered with Taxis on the way back. I'd be wary of them not showing up or refusing to take you if it was muddy. Since having a nightmare time of it in 2007 I always had a booked National Express out of there. Always have some water for the trip and a bag if you are feeling rough. Seen a few spews on the return coach in my time (fortunately none from a first person perspective).

Last year out in 2015 there was 2 of us and we picked up a rando in the Airport to split the taxi with which worked out well. I've also been the rando in the Airport but I strongly recommend the former approach if you don't want to be at the whims of strangers as to what the best way to go is (short version.. it wasn't).

rubick

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119144552#Comment_119144552

This is world class, thanks! We've already booked a coach to leave the site but we just needed to finalise the way there. Staying in Bristol on the Tuesday and these guys you recommend will take us the whole way to Worthy View.

MadYaker

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119144753#Comment_119144753

You not queuing through the night on tuesday like a proper Glasto veteran? Wimps 😅

I'm on me tod in Bristol all my group are coming from London so I'm not shelling out for a taxi, the bus will do me fine. There'll be other people I can drink cans with also, the taxi driver won't be up for that.

The Nal

Yeah staying up all night the night before a 5 day knees up isnt my idea of fun

Seathrun66

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119141924#Comment_119141924

I booked a coach from the airport direct to the festival. There aren't many and the times may not suit you (direct coaches at 9am, mid-day and 2pm) arriving at the site an hour later.

On the way back I'm stopping in Bristol for a few hours before heading to the airport, the coach taking an hour forty five mins to the city. I'd prefer to avoid the probable chaos of Bristol station on the way there if possible.
