It has sold out already if you don't believe me checkout http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/glastonbury/. I know it is the 1st of April today, but that would be a bit of a mean joke even for the BBC. All I can say is I am glad I bought mine before I went down the pub last night.

Nobody knew for sure about it last year until that weekend. In the official program it said TBC in the slots that Pusher & AFX played. All it said on the blackboard @"The Glade' was Warp DJ's. So I went and checked it out.
They haven't confirmed any of the dance acts yet. I just hope I am not in a soggy field surrounded by 100,000 miserable Radiohead fans.
I still go I even if I didn't watch any bands at all.

eBay will probably be rife with tickets. But Glastonbury always sells out the quickest, even with Reading and Leeds you have some leeway.

It is going to be expensive if so many people are desperate to go, three, four, five times the face value?

I am so fucking pissed off about this shit!! There are already hundreds of tickets on E-Bay going for shitloads.
Although I have heard a rumour (from the glastonbury MB) that anyone selling them on E-Bay will get the tickets cancelled and money refunded... so they maybe on sale again.
Fingers crossed!

They said that about the Radiohead tickets, and they're all still up there.

Isn't it like £100 now? Forget that. Festivals are meant to be about free love and bad food, not £100 tickets and massive walls.

You can't expect a festival the size of Glastonbury to be free! It just wouldn't work.
And I'm more than happy to pay £100+ to go there, its an awe inspiring event, unlike anything else in this country (probably the world), and its a miricle that is still able to carry on.

I'm sure it is amazing... i'd love to go.
Is it impossible to get over / through holes in the fence? I heard there are dodgy geezers with holes dug letting people thru for £20

Nah, they've stopped all that now allegedly. Only person I knew who got in for free last year was a girl from my local who hid in the back of a beer delivery van (the driver knew).

Not anymore apparently. I been twice without a ticket. We just paid some scousers £20 and they stamped our hand which was enough to get in. Thats how most people got in before. Can't do that anymore. When you arrive with your ticket you get a wrist band, half of another ticket, and something else, and you have to have all of them if you wanna go in or out... bit of a hastle but made things a hell of alot less crowded than before. Also, you can't get within about 5 miles of the site without a ticket, unless you're a member of the special forces... don't think many of them will be up for it this year!

If tickets sell that quick I don't get why the organisers don't hike the prices themselves... it's a bitch when they go through all the hassle organising it then some tout ****er hikes the price. It's people like that that meant I ended up paying 400% the cover price to see leftfield :/

I am the only one going? No dance or techno has been released in the line-up yet. Unless you are the sad kind of person who counts moby.
