If it's floor standing then it'll make a difference to sales, aye. Hopefully it will be.

Are there any estimates for the capacity of the pit?
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteHappy24 Did anybody get the Pit for the face value (235E)? Or were those only available as platinum or the SMU package? I got one in the main sale on Friday - via Ticketmaster.nl rather than via the app. To be honest, I'm still a bit surprised. I wont relax until I'm actually in there.

Front centre of the pit the sound was perfect. They tore the entire field a new one. In contrast, Primal Scream went bottom-up with barely a whimper.

The going should be a lot less sticky underfoot this year than 2011. At least, hopefully.

And the Stones have pretty much unprecedented expectations on them - mostly of their own making, given their ticket prices. Don't worry, though - they've got little chance of eclipsing Rod Stewart's performance as the worst headliner ever seen at the farm...

Springsteen got the setlist pretty badly wrong and people were leaving in droves. He tailored it for a Springsteen crowd and - as such - harshed the mellow of most of the more casual observers. Neil Young seemed to pull it off - perhaps because there was less weight of expectation on him. He was kind of in Brooooooooce's shadow that weekend and ended up stealing a march on him. If

Yeah, it's great. In 2011 when we arrived on the Thursday it was about the last patch of green grass left on the site. We had Worthy View booked as a back up if we failed to get a tipi, but yours truly was ready the second they went onsale to get one in the bag. Split between six people it's not too brutal an extravagance.

^ Those ultra-pricey yurts are usually offsite in fields owned by other farmers, unaffiliated to Glastonbury and a 20 odd minute walk away. Hopefully they'll put Mick Taylor up in the tipi field where we are. The Master Musicians of Joujouka were there the last time.
Forum: Tell Me

Someone entirely different on before the Stones like a big dance or pop act would have suited me better as it would create larger crowd movement and increase the chances of getting close to the stage without having to hang around for ages at the Pyramid. After Primal Scream, though, everyone's going t stay put, so it's gonna be rammed pretty tight from about halfway through Elvis Cos

Quotestonehearted According to a very recent interview, Mick says Glastonbury was something they'd always wanted to do but had never been asked. They're doing it this year because they were finally asked to . They've been asked plenty of times and turned it down - though that's often been a matter of timing as the band haven't been together for touring at the time.

Wild Horses should be bolted into the setlist. Though that I'm Free cover was 23 years ago, so I dunno if 'newer' is the right word!

Not too far a walk, actually (though that's all relative as the site is huge). This is the map from 2011. A lot of the detail will change, but Acoustic and West Holts will be in the same places: This is also a useful gizmo. Glasto Earth:

QuoteThe Worst. Does anyone have an idea what's going to happen if we don't reply within the 'deadline' of three days? I'm running out of time according to Rob Hallett. While it's an arbitrary deadline, I didn't particularly want to find out and be left with tickets best characterised as 'white elephants'.

I've had an ongoing conversation with AXS today. They told me this morning that "A clearer map will be posted up soon clearing up any confusion", but it soon became clear that whoever was manning the helpdesk wasn't up to speed with the current situation as the latest update this evening is a copy of the AEG 'downgrade or refund' email previously posted.

It's in Silver Hayes, which is the re-jigged and remodelled Dance Village: They've also repositioned Arcadia to be near the Other Stage and there's a whole new field for Latin music as well. Me gusta. Whichever one I end up in, I'm going to be fairly full of rum.

Ah - it seems that Bourbon Street isn't going to be there this year. There is a new area called 'Blues' that may offer up something similar. I'm most interested in the Gully: Quotethe Gully - a brand new installation combining an open air stage and a pulsating street of sound systems and stalls featuring the best new DJs, MCs and live music.
