Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[William of Walworth]

I remember someone saying there was a campsite in glastonbury town for tuesday night. Anyone got the details?

Isle of Avalon Campsite, a short walk from the town centre. Google that, but if needed ...

... use the email option on my profile, and I'll get back to you tomorrow with details. I'll be there Tuesday afternoon/night along with quite a few others

can anyone tell me if you can buy a car parking ticket when you arrive, or do you HAVE to pre-purchase? I have decided to take the motor after all.. and clearly have left it very late

PM Tort ....

I have no idea on that one, but my near certain (but educated guess based) suspicion is you need to sort it in advance

Email option or am I just being thick?

 

[William of Walworth]

Sorry!!

Email option or am I just being thick?

Oh bollocks, seem to have removed my email option a while back from my profile ....

I'm about to PM you my email address .... haven't got access to campsite details right now, though. Will sort this tomorrow ....

 

[Macabre]

Ta, I'll reply in the morning. Bed time now

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

[nosos]

yay! you camping with my lot this year nosher?

I presume so. In that I'm staying in mc's tent.

Can we call it camp maestro?

 

[Firky]

I'm so glad I don't have to organise shit for Glastonbury. I just say I am going and things fall into place. If I had to organise stuff like car park tickets and that I'd never make it.

Thank fuck for mates

 

[JTG]

Likewise, I just send me form in to work there and Oxfam do the rest. They even bus me down there from Temple Meads

 

[Kanda]

According to the festival forums there will be some Car Parking tickets available on site, but I wouldn't rely on it if possible.

There are some available on Ebay, but maybe make a post on the official forums saying you need one, someone may sell you one.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Well I just bought one off see... except it seems to have hung mid transaction. I wonder if it'll turn up in time...

 

[Kanda]

I couldn't find them on See! Can you post a link please?

My ticket arrived yesterday, my tipi (in dragon field) is all booked, I've purchased a large quantity of booze and I think I'm on the way towards being ready.

Just to top it off, the Seetickets checker seems to be broken now:

[nosos]

Are you guys in the dragon field as usual?

We're in Avalon (I think) - I've not really been consulted ( ) I'm just going where the tent is . . .

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I've just spoken to seeTickets, the last batch goes out tomorrow via Royal Mail, so people will need to be at home Friday morning to sign for them.

 

[Lazy Llama]

Wooo.... tickets dispatched.
Coming to my work address so should get them tomorrow, all going well.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Just to top it off, the Seetickets checker seems to be broken now:

I got

Please call 0871 230 0010 to confirm that your order was successful
We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

And unsurprisingly its engaged/broken

 

[Lazy Llama]

In a fit of sudden efficiency, I got an email saying that the tickets had been dispatched, the website started working, and the tickets just turned up on my desk.

All in the space of about an hour.

 

[bluestreak]

I presume so. In that I'm staying in mc's tent.

Can we call it camp maestro?

you can. the rest of us call it camp mndc

and you ani't in avalon bro, you're out in the sticks!

unless you guys have changed your minds about camping with us

 

[bluestreak]

Are you guys in the dragon field as usual?

i'm never in the dragon field. though i do pop in and visit a few times. nah, there's about 40 of us camping up behind the the cinema tent on high ground away from the crowds. we always camp up there. it's just.... better!
