Ok tickets for this year's Glastonbury festival apparently go on sale on April 1st (ironic? ) for a wallet massacrering £112 (!) but regardless I want to go!
April is really not as long as it seems so I was wondering if any of you lot are also wanting to attend? Maybe a few of us could have a little gathering? Share a field?
I dunno ...what do you all think?
Anyway just bringing this up now because we will need a bit of planning time and fund raising time for those extortionate ticket fees!

Well I just think this would be quite a cool thing to do
Some info...

Glastonbury Festival 2004 Ticket Arrangements
22 Jan 2004
I’m pleased to announce the arrangements for ticket sales for this year’s Festival.
Last year tickets sold very quickly and as a result we had a huge problem with tickets being offered all over the place at three or four times their face value. Some of these tickets were traced back to outlets that we supplied but had no effective control over.
So this year the tickets will only be sold by the telephone ticketline, phone number 0870 830 2004, and through the website address www.aloud.com. There will be a link from the Festival website, www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk to www.aloud.com.
Tickets will go on sale at 8pm on the 1st April 2004.
Tickets will be restricted to two per person and each transaction will be vigilantly monitored to make sure there is no repetition.
All tickets will be personalised to prevent unauthorised reselling – and there will be checks at the gates.
Tickets will cost £112 + Booking Fee and Post and Packaging.
If you used cash to buy tickets in the past, don’t worry. Postal orders and cheques will be accepted, but only on the phone line. Credit and debit cards will be accepted on both the ticketline and for website sales.
The measures we are taking this year will result in a much fairer way to access the Festival, which promises to be as always, an incredibly joyful way to spend your mid-summer!
