Is there anyone out there who's actually managed to get any of these yet? The website has been jammed constantly.

Cheers
Sarah

Keep trying online........if you get as far as the submit details button then do so..it all went blank after that for me, but on checking my email the tickets had been sold to us.
                Good Luck

Glastonbury is a very big open air festival of live music. Here's a link to the official festival site

I have been accepted to sell lemonade but at £1,000 for a pitch fee I tore up the acceptance form! I've been trying to get into Glastonbury to trade for 7 years and now I find out I can't afford to be there anyway!

But you would only need to sell 500 glasses, sorry paper cups of lemonade at £2.00 each to break even, then you can sit back relax and enjoy the rest of the festival.

I wouldn't dream of charging my customers £2.00 per cup! The competition (I won't name them) charge all sorts of extortionate prices for the 'lemonade'. I charge a reasonable price for parents who want to buy a drink for their kids that isn't a warm can of fizzy additives and colouring. I believe in being fair to my customers. I was going to be positioned in the children's area.

I also want to be able to prevent the public from becoming dehydrated on a hot day and I think £2.00 is too expensive.

Well in that case you will have to sell 1000 cups at a pound each.

Good for you, Sal. Lets hope Folk Festivals don't get like that.

this must benear the Glastonbuty Tor, which is a spiral path labyrinth
which winds up a hill...so if you do not get to go to the festival
(hard to imagine over 100,000 will be there!!) you might get to walk the path....

My son got his ticket after 5 hours on line. All but one of his friends did too.

Vectis...if your son's ticketless friend has no luck, then the plastic wristbands do have a bit of give in them, and with a touch of gentle persuasion and a disposable lighter they can be eased over your wrist and niftily placed on someone elses wrist.

So if they are planning to plot up for the weekend then they should all be able to come and go....Just not at the same time, but time back at the tent/van is always a welcome break too. Put kettle on.

Sorry to say but the proper Glastonbury has long been dead and gone. But go on the levellers website and have a look at the beautiful days weekend and just having seen them what a band.
I think it coast's about £65 to £70 quid for the weekend
