TBH I don't litter but those green police made me want to litter. The Gaia's Guardians would definitely have had me dropping rubbish.

stuff the opening day - ' crews should be onsite ' in exactly 4 months.{ and some will be there a lot sooner than that }
I have seen recent shots onsite and there is no standing water like it is 5 miles away.
Didn't quite like to rub in the early-entry crew perks ... preferred to mention the punter-relevant date ...

well it may encourage others to be volunteers - its not a perk as I will be working sometime on the Tuesday { not a full shift but its still a shift }
I made my Group bid today
funny enough there is a bigger demand for Latitude than Glastonbury - a few years ago I was snowed under with Glastonbury requests.
anyway I will find out at the end of March as to the actual allocation.
You're right -- its proper work, not just an easy perk, for crews of every stripe. I only meant the getting on site early bit, really. That's a genuine positive!

Blondie and Dolly Parton just confirmed - have seen Blondie but not Dolly Parton before.

was that 1999 ?
the year that Jean Eavis sadly died

Same! Not sure whether it was 1999 or 2000 that Blondie was there before, but I'm delighted by this news ...
As for Dolly, neither of us have EVER seen her live. So just like in 2008 our never having seen the Leonard Cohen Live Experience before in 2008 (and that wasn't a cover version of Old Grumpy either, albeit it was with entirely different songs
), we can't bloody wait ...

You have a real point about that, but me and my mates were full-on twatted too, so we may have coped ... somehow

Really? I was completely minced and thought it was one of the best gigs I'd ever seen. It may well have been shit in reality though.

hold on, Blondie played glastonbury when I was at glastonbury?
I guess that will have been in one of the years when I managed not to see a single band, just raved.

it was 1999 and I did see them but I could not recall if they had played in a previous year - this year will be my 29th Glastonbury so they tend to merge into one.
I saw them somewhere in London but at what event I don't have a clue
Now Leonard Cohen is a different kettle of fish - first saw him in the early 80's and he used to show up every few year - Great value whatever the ticket costs were.
The fix is in place so that I am free Sunday evening but will have to get back by Midnight as its our Crew bar's busiest night.

It's possible I agree, but I don't remember really .... <tips hat to free spirit on this one

It's also entirely possible I was stuck on a gate somewhere, it's odd how that gets in the way of seeing the bands.

Seriously, she was off her face. Like you pissed at at a wedding doing karaoke
I honestly don't remember how awful or otherwise Blondie were in '99. All I do remember was thinking how Debbie Harry had lost a ton of weight since I saw her previously at Phoenix with her "Jazz Passengers" . They played at Secret Garden Party a few years ago but the sound was so poor they were barely audible.

well she had more energy than me even although she is 8 years older than me - I had seen them before and I thought they were fine and the crucial part is the audience enjoyed it.

Well it would be if that is all it was - I am assuming they are normal hospitality tickets which allows access to the facilities rich hospitality Camping area.
If they are genuine { not all are } and someone has a need for secure camping then it may be worth it.
Yeah they're genuine for sure. And yes there is some vague information about access to a hospitality camping area and bars that open later then usual, but so what? Its not like getting a drink at any hour has ever been a problem at glasto.
Quite.

Given that some people are desperate to go, and have very little chance of getting a ticket, at 200% of the standard ticket, they probably represent market value. Though I agree - better ways to spend 400 quid. Mind you, if I had cash to burn, and really wanted to go, and couldn't find another way, I'd pay it without a blink.
