Backstage Pass

[Cidersid]

I've been lucky enough to be given a Backstage Hospitality pass this year, has anyone had one before? I've heard different stories of how good they are?

But never look a gift horse in the mouth!!

There's backstage - bars and campsites, and there's BACKSTAGE- OMG! I've just touched Bono!
I thoroughly tested my worker's pass last year to get into various crew and backstage bars (all paid, sadly no freebies) which were all much less crowded and more comfortable than the punters ones. And you might get to rub elbows with someone in a band.

I think these are the kind of area Hospitality passes will get you into. There are several highter levels of wristband and pass to get anywhere neer an actual stage. Don't expect to be viewing the headliners from the wings of the Pyramid.

Oh, and you get a nicer campsite.

Didn't I notice the sheer number of funny wrist bands last year...

It's not good to see Glastonbury delve further into having two levels of accommodation. All Glasto punters are equal, but some are more equal than others....

At least the private entrance to the hospitality area has gone as it cut PGA from the areas south of it....

Not having a pop at Cidersid, it's just expansion of "hospitality" chafes at me a bit. Smacks of VIP areas at OTT nightclubs and doesn't feel right at Glasto.

Well done if you got it as a freebie.

The thing that boggles me is people who pay £6000+ for a weekend in camp Koala and the like, because at the end of the day if you to see a band you're still standing out in a field surrounded by the great unwashed.
