Alas, no Glastonbury again.

Did you try for Glastonbury Rich?

Heard from someone involved with the ticketing system that there were only 7,000 tickets in the resale, which is pretty impressive considering the price hike and the less than stellar lineup.

Yes mate, tried and failed. Went in 7 minutes. Resale normally lasts 30 minutes. The new system of not having to add payment details made it even more difficult.
Gutted but hey ho.

Yeah I'm already dreading October.

Doing Glastonbury differently this year - taking my kids so it's going to be a massively different experience.

Pretty much all of our groups got tickets in October,  we got kicked out of payment screens on a number of occasions. Just unlucky. I'll be back next year, even if I work it.
Gutted about this year as planned to take my 17 year old to her first one.

Got tickets for about 40 gigs booked for the rest of the year so far. Seeing A Certain Ratio tonight. Going to Great Escape Festival and seeing Duran Duran at NIA, Alvvays in London and Manchester and Blondshell in Manchester over the next month.

Considering Blur tickets for Wolves Civic but already getting tickets for Suede, Johnny Marr and Blondshell on Friday morning so will have to see how much everything comes to. Saw them last time they played Wolves anyway. Good live act but not amazing.

I wanted to go to ACR but the Albion game being switched scuppered plans. They are having a bit if a renaissance. 

Blur, for me, have provided a couple of my all time gigs. But I've always been a huge fan.

Said it before and I'll say it again. 

Blur's set at Glastonbury 09 was the best gig I've ever been at, anywhere, from any act.

Almost for me too, only Radiohead 97 beats it, but only just.
