Glastonbury 2022

Glastonbury resale details for those of you (including myself!!) that don't have tickets.

Don't fancy my chances, more chance of winning the Lotto but will give it a go.

Ive gotten tickets in 4 resales!

Stlll 50/50 if Ill try this year. Lots of other stuff on but itll be some party.

Thats a weird one yeah.

Email the ticket office. No way they'll want you driving to Gate A and then over to the otherside of the festival to get into the camper fields.

Also, yearly warning for campervan ticket holders. Do not, under any circumstances let them put you in E15/E16 and especially E17 direction.

Tell them you have mobility issues. Tell them your elderly parents are joining you tomorrow. Tell them you have AIDS (Good or bad) but don't let them direct you towards those fields. Real festival killer. Miles away.

At the Pyramid stage and need to nip back to the van? 2 hour round trip.

Yeah, it seems a weird decision!

I've popped off emails to See and Glastonbury so will see what comes back.

We've had 3 years in Campervan West which was absolutely perfect. Only two fields, never any queues and ideal exit on the Monday when heading west for Pembroke.

Good to know which fields to avoid in East as this will be our first year there! Will also be worse leaving Monday morning!

Oh yeah should add, that year, 2014, there was a broke down car in the lane on Monday so we got stuck for 6 hours and missed our flight. Ended up having to stay in Bristol.

Best option - Fly into Bristol on Tuesday evening and spend the night in Glastonbury town and get a taxi to the site in the morning.

Bring only the basics with you. You can buy airbeds, pillows etc on site.

Hydrate is very important yep. A pack of Imodium is a must aswell!

There'll have to be some kind of pass to get into the campervan fields at the very least, mayhem if there isn't.

Hopefully they'll organise something better, tickets at the campervan entrance would make some bit of sense as they'd have the info, could cause trouble as well though.

So 2022 will be our fourth year going to Glastonbury (2014, 2017 and 2019 being the previous).

We have gone via campervan each time and to be honest, absolutely love it! Usually 4 or 6 of us go so we always get a 6 berth campervan.

We hire the campervan here in Ireland (by putting a refundable deposit down in advance of ticket sale day which usually avoids the supply/demand problems encountered closer to the festival).

This is our timetable:

1. Collect campervan Monday afternoon and park at home;
2. Pack the campervan Monday evening with all our gear, drink etc;
3. Leave home approx 5.30am Tuesday morning and head to Rosslare for 8.45am departure via Irish Ferries to Pembroke;
4. Arrive Pembroke approx 12.45pm;
5. Drive from Pembroke to Glastonbury, with a couple of stops along the way for food,fuel etc, usually arriving at the campervan fields approx 5.30pm;
6. Set up awning, table and chairs and a few wind breakers and outdoor lights and we're usually sitting down with the campervan neighbours for welcome drinks by 7pm on the Tuesday evening;
7. Stroll down to the gate early Wednesday morning (approx 10am) to get wristbanded and off we go for the week;
8. We pack up the campervan around 11am on the Sunday morning and then head out for the day, arriving back to the campervan after the headliners so maybe 1am and get a few hours sleep;
9. Leave between 6am and 7am Monday morning and get 30/40 miles from the site before stopping at services for a rest, breakfast and maybe a shower;
10. Continue onto Pembroke, arriving sometime between Noon and 1pm (depending on how many stops we make for coffee etc on route);
11. Depart Pembroke at 2.45pm and into Rosslare at 6.45pm;
12. Home to bed;
13. Tuesday morning, we unpack the campervan and return it to the hire company;

Ferry for this year is €676 (up for €460 in previous years) so works out approx €113 per person if 6 travel. Campervan hire for the full period which is 8 nights, including UK supplement and UK insurance cover comes in at €1,819 (up from €1,310 in previous years) so works out at approx €303 per person if 6 travel.

Add about another €240 in fuel costs, so €40 per person.

Total travel, fuel and accomodation cost per person - €456.

I've done campervans 6 out of the 13 times (I think) Ive been but after switching to a tent in a good spot I wouldnt change back. Lsss hassle, cheaper and much easier. The coach tickets are my favourite way to go now.

In 2019 all of us and everyone we knew got them. I was sitting on the open ticket page for 10 minutes texting people going "err, anyone want one?". Was as easy as ordering off Amazon.

Other years, like 2020, I couldnt even get onto the website.

Lots on this year so not sure if Ill try/have the holidays but as the resale date gets closer......

95 was some year. Well before my time but fcuk me

I think that's a cracking first poster, at least 20 acts that I'd go and see as stand alone gigs.

Mccartney and Plant on the same weekend, 17 year old me just wet himself.

Former headliner which is mad.

Be interesting to see where Fontaines are placed, wouldn't be surprised to see them sub The other stage.

Mouth watering line up, ye lucky bastards.

Correct decision. Sun holidays are always an option but there's no guarantee you'll get a ticket for this again. There's loads of people 40+ at it, it's not like electric picnic or body & soul.

It's hard to believe that it's finally going to happen again but I paid my ticket balance on Monday and flights are booked. Most of my crew from 2019 are still going so I'm all set. Poster looks good, as usual some names you'd never get at any other festival (Diana Ross and Paul McCartney at the same festival in 2022???)

Yeh very true.

Plant and Allison Krauss should be a cracker
