Thankyou
I don't think BristolEcho even thinks that either, TBF
I was just trying to rationalise my own thoughts atm, more than anything else
Yeah I know you do care about other things too and it's obviously fine to be downhearted about missing out on things that are important to us.
I will also admit a bias as I always find
the cult around Glastonbury to be a bit overbearing. It reminds me of Christmas which I equally dislike.
Probably just being a bit grumpy to be honest. I hope that it's all back on next year.

They do mail order. I took advantage of that last year and will be doing the same again in 2021.

No problem -- I understand you
Even some Glastonbury people dislike some of the more cliquier/cultier aspects, which definitely exist in some parts of it, like in any big city!
Even us crew types have our own in-crowds now and again
And also
-- obviously we're looking forward to the major comeback one in 2022 big-style ... and I'm feeling better a bit now even, for these recent exchanges

So I just donated £20 quid to Glastonbury to watch the live stream tonight. Doing a swerve on the Eurovision.
I like that Glastonbury festivals feel they need to do something for anything they get. It's just the stream of a film. They don't really need to, could just create a kickstarter or indiegogo campaign, I'd donate and I expect there are a lot of people who would do the same. It also keeps the donation down to a modest £20.

I wasnt even aware of it till the special guests were announced, so now I've signed up too. I need to swerve the Coldplay bit though.
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood form new project, the Smile
Group, which also includes Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner, will make their debut at Live at Worthy Farm, filmed on the Glastonbury festival site

Its possible that seeing all the people complaining is more entertaining than what I'd have seen if the stream was actually working so far.
I think quite a few people thought the performances were actually live this evening too. Oh well, it is a shame to see entities still making these sorts of mistakes on the internet in 2021, should really have learnt by now.

I was thinking when I booked this, I hope they have the capacity to run a massive stream.
I don't mind really. Like I said it's a donation so I can go again next year. This just a small bonus.
Netflix put a lot of papers out there discussing how they deal with failure across the internet. It's a long read for the techy but it's an eye-opener how you make something inherently unreliable bulletproof. Apparently, it's not well read.

Glastonbury: Emily Eavis says she is 'so sorry' after technical issues derail live-stream
Organisers made Saturday's live-stream freely available after thousands were locked out of the virtual concert.

Its quite possibly not even the actual stream bit thats broken. It looks more like the initial code authentication server is woefully overstretched by demand, a situation that will persist due to the shit advice to 'just keep trying'.

What would Badgers do?
I wonder what their definition of “shortly” is. I can’t decide whether to sack this off and stick a film on

It's getting pretty funny now.
I've given up, watching Eurovision instead.

I get people are disappointed but wish more of us had your attitude. It’s a bummer but the OUTRAGE is tiring.

I don't have a ticket or a code or anything but this link seems to work for me.

Yes I think they had to cave in and do what tech-knowledgeable people had been demanding they do for ages before they made that link available: bypass the auth code part of the system which was hopelessly overloaded (rather than the actual streaming bit which was not over capacity).

Weird, works on my phone but not on my laptop. Nice one, thank you. You made my friend and his 2 kids very happy.
