    Well just had a quick look .. early bird tickets, for the whole weekend including camping is £112.50. But think later on you can get tickets for just Friday or Saturday, but i dont see the point in that. If your gonna go, go for the whole weekend :D

    U can go for just the day.

    Haven't been here since it pissed it down and i was covered in mud.
    Now I go to Holland's fesitvels - they know how to party plus they have fantastic weather.

    Lol I know, it's a bitch trying to decide where you wanna go. I've said I'd go to Reading festival with a couple of mates, Hardcore Til I Die in the Sun with some others and I'd also quite like to check out Global...
    Wish I had more fucking money

    I've been to both and I would definitely rate Glastonbury over Global - although both are amazing.

    In what way? I'd prefer the music at Global but I know I'd still have a laugh with my mates at Glastonbury.

    I just prefer the atmosphere at Glastonbury, the sheer range of music and other entertainment. I also camped in the dance field at Glastonbury and while it's not Global line-up, it's still damn impressive.

    I think its hard to compare Glastonbury and Global though (I have been to neither so I'm just going from what I see)

    Someone who is huge in to dance music and doesn't like bands isn't going to enjoy Glastonbury, where as someone who hates dance music isn't really going to enjoy Global...

    Personally I like both, but Global musically still appeals to me slightly more.

    and obviously I suppose the atmosphere does have just as big an impact as the music, so I could be wrong.

    Also at global I get the feeling most people are gona be on pills/coke wheras glastonbury seems more about the beer and weed. And I prefer the former :razz:

    I went to Global Gathering way back in 2002. Flew over from Ireland with my mate for it - that's dedication kids!

    It was fucking amazing. Hottest weather of the year that weekend too. It was sweet lying out on the grass during the day in the sunshine with the music blasting out around you from the different tents.

    Sundissential tent, how I loved you.

    I'm getting all nostalgic now.

    Glastonbury is the ultimate festival.
    I've been to Homelands, Global and Creamfields and nothing really comes close. Even for you dance fanatics like me.

    Glastonbury's special.

    West Fest Festival looks good though.

    That's only a 1 night thing though isnt it?

    I was ment to be going to the last one, was going to stay with my Aunt as she used to own a pub / inn in Shepton mallet... but she sold it a couple of weeks before the event and by then it was a pain sorting anything out...
