Dave got himself some Glastonbury Tickets :D

[Dav0s]

For those of you who dont know, Glastonbury is a music festival in UK, which is extremely popular. So popular that there is 1 ticket for every 3 people who want to go, which makes ticket day a bit of an ordeal.

Well tickets went on sale at 9am, i have been violently ill all night so pretty much pulled an all nighter. Sat down in front of the PC about 7.30 and waited to 9am to tick over...

9am came, and i was sat refreshing pages for 45 minutes before i got through! Worst waiting ever, it got to a point when i was doubtful I would get them. When i finally got confirmation, i was sooo pleased, and still am!

Just thought id share my moment of happiness with you all

 

[limqareb]

Gratz mate , what type of music festival is it? hope you will have fun and it will have been worth the waiting

 

[Mr. Smith]

Most of my mates were up this morning getting tickets too!

Nice one on getting some...

 

[FarFarAway]

Cool I hope my mate @ works got his too, he's desperate to go

 

[Rastalovich]

Very commercial.

 

[equk]

Very commercial.

idd

I don't live far from Glastonbury.

I remember years ago you could get in under the fence where there was a stream.

Take loo-roll for bartering lol if it rains you could sell some wellington boots for loads of money.

 

[Hyper]

Sell them on ebay

 

[Dav0s]

Very commercial.

its the LEAST commerical festival there is. I'm not sure if you are actually judging your opinion on going to festivals or not, but if you are then you will know that festivals such as V and CW are commericialised, glastonbury is very much not in comparison. If you haven't been to any of these festivals, then what are you judging your opinions on?

Sell them on ebay

Glastonbury is the only festival to have introduced a real anti touting system where you had to register before buying, and upload a photo of yourself which will be used on your ticket. This prevents anybody being able to sell tickets on ebay and it simply genious if you ask me. More festivals and major events should implement this method

Bring us back the head of a hippy!

QFT!

And as others have asked, what kind of music Dav0s?? Anything I'd like or is it too softcore for my liking?

I think Rastalovich was meaning the artists at the festival are very commercial & mostly are pop music.

It is also one of the most publicised festivals there is.

And as others have asked, what kind of music Dav0s?? Anything I'd like or is it too softcore for my liking?

Think it's too softcore tbh

 

[Dav0s]

lol, ignore the BBC page

tell me how many of these have been in the charts and tell me its mostly pop music

Anyway its not really about the music like all other festivals are, there is so much else to do and some people go the whole 5 days without even seeing a band!

but the majority of the music will be softcore to you frag

 

[equk]

lol, ignore the BBC page

tell me how many of these have been in the charts and tell me its mostly pop music

Arctic Monkeys - POP Music (in charts etc)

Adjagas - who?

The Killers - POP Music (in charts etc)

Kasabian - POP Music (in charts etc)

The Who - POP Music (in charts etc)

Kaiser Chiefs - POP Music (in charts etc)

Shirley Bassey - POP Music (in charts etc)

Yusaf Islam - who?

Madness - POP Music (in charts etc)

Scissor Sisters - POP Music (in charts etc)

Smokey Robinson - who? (sounds blues)

The Go! Team - who?

Bjork - POP Music (in charts etc)

Arcade Fire - who?

Iggy & the Stooges - POP Music (in charts etc)

Chemical Brothers (live) - POP Music (in charts etc)

The Good, The Bad And The Queen - who?

The Rakes - who?

That's 11 out of 18 listed and the other ones are either blues or I just don't know who they are.

edit: hmm some more pages ... but you get what we're saying?

(the 'headliners' are mainly pop music)

hope you have fun etc, just not my type of music.

 

[FragTek]

Bahahah, The Who, they're still around? I listened to them when I was like 10

And yeah, none of that is quite up my alley either, but I hope you enjoy it Dave!

Edit: Check out my local showhouse, some friggin' AWESSSSOME bands play there, a lot of big names roll through too. I usually go once or twice a month to catch a show, it's only about 15 mins from my house.

Edit 2: Just checked the calendar, May 23rd you can count me being there for American Head Charge, and you can count on me being there on August 18th for W.A.S.P. Gawd I luff t3h Jaxx!

 

[FarFarAway]

Looks like an awesome lineup - at these things you go for the bands you love - which aren't really the headliners.

Not a fan of metal at all really but the Glasto lineup looks great

Nice

Some excellent bands on that site

 

[Nagaru]

Man it would be worth it for me to go just to see The Who. Have fun mate.

Well, it`s gonna be a great event and all who`ll go there will have a stoooopendous time, with rain or without

Pointification was merely looking at it changing from around 88 to about 9.... prehaps 98.

The bands don`t mean nothing. U look at IOW from the 60s to the 70s, all kinds of bands went there merely to be at the festival.

The bands going to the glastonbury will be there for 1 or 2 purposes, and I`d lean heavily for one of the reasons to be to promote themselves.

Health & Safety will be there, the BBC will be there, it`ll be on tv, it`s on the net, kids as young as the early teens will know about it, not coz their older brother/sister are going, but coz of the coverage.

U`ll probably be able to buy Pepsi at a stand!

Hell there`s tickets!

Comercialization.

Don`t get me wrong, I`d`ve loved nothing more than to be @ IOW 1970 listening to Jimi Hendrix. Jimi wouldn`t be there to promote sales mind u.

 

[FarFarAway]

Jeezus you guys really know how to be cinics don't you?

Festivals are still pretty awesome places to be even though I aint been to one for a couple of years.

Enjoy it dave

 

[Rastalovich]

At the end of the day the enjoyment is there to be had, which ever way you look at it and however u make the comparisons.

I have no doubt Dave will have a blast - AND post some pics!!
