It sells out in about 7 seconds before the lineup is announced so I'm guessing no.

I managed not to for a change! Weed, heat and a week of crying about Bourdain and I'm drier than the Sahara.

You can stick Johnny Marr playing with The Killers. Kieran Hebden just played with Hot Chip covering The Beastie's 'Sabotage'.

Am worn out dancing to The Chemical Brothers in my living room. Realised: need to dance more.
Brandon seems a good sort and a good sport: appears loving playing The Festival; always a tick in my box.
I-Player not responding to much else this evening.
Sister at The Festival reports that everyone is rushing for shaded areas. And she has swollen ankles because she is wearing silly plimsoll things and not the decent, stylish, ankle-supporting ankle-wellies I bought her for her birthday. She has gone off now to change her shoes..

I was interested in numbers, and found it was licenced for 220,000
this year, it was comfortable when it was only 25-30,000. 
Anyway around 30% are for staff, performers, stall-holders, etc, so around 154,000 go on sale @ £253 each = £38,962,000 in ticket sales!

Have had a nice day (sat) watched the sunrise at the stones, slept a few hours and then got a bit too bloody hot so crawled out of camp to the green craft field with the littlest W who played in a sandpit and then snoozed under a tree whilst we smoked and watched the world go by. Visited Glastonbury on Sea at sunset and then had a kip before work ... Which I'm just finishing. Watching the millions of people who are still milling around and pouring out of the SEC. Its gone cloudy so I'm hoping to sleep for a while in a bit.

I got those figures from the licence issued by Mendip council, but it did say an approx 70/30 split.
If 175k were sold, it takes the figure to over £44m.

I think it costs about 25 million to put on. Then 3 charities get some. And I think quite a lot goes on land rental.

Yep, they have to rent in extra land, they recently signed a new deal covering the next 17 years, but no figures were reported in the article, but it can't be cheap.

I believe they also rent Worthy land, and pay for disruption to business etc...
But anyway, it's very expensive to attend and it's very expensive to put on and it's very good fun

Watching Lizzo at the moment. She's lush, not really something I'd put on at home but she's loads of fun and has loads of positivity.

Was watching the Glastonbury countdown warm-up last weekend, narrated by Edith person, I think. And she explained that Jack White was 'the first Jew' to headline the pyramid. The comment jarred a bit. You know: are we counting or something. But I guess it's all a case of firsts: Stormzy, the first British male Rap artist..etc. Cos, of course, Dylan has never done Glastonbury.

Gonna watch Fat White Family now. Enjoyed the last couple of singles so intrigued to see what they're like live.

They're playing Glasgow on a Friday night in November. This will probably decide whether I buy a ticket! How would you describe their style to people who had never heard them?
