In need of glasto buddy

Stacey · #1 10-03-2010, 09:03 AM

Bought glasto tickets with my boyf, but have just broken up. He has friends to go with, but im left with a ticket and nobody to go with!!
This is my first glasto and im really looking forward to it, so dont really want to cancel my ticket.
I have travelled alone and never had a problem making friends, but it would be nice to have some campsite buddies!
Anybody else stuck in the same position?

Magik · #2 10-03-2010, 11:02 AM

Yes. But i am meeting lots of people down there and there the most freindliest down to earth people ever. you would be very welcome to camp near us. Ive had that done to me so know how it feels. by all means get a spec near us and get involved. As long as you dont mind the state were all getting in then sound.
add me on facebook. magikkingdom@hotmail.com

Rosie_K · #3 10-03-2010, 01:23 PM

I'm going on my own too (unless hubby gets a ticket in the resale) so we could try to camp nearby or meet up. Not sure how practical it is as never got the chance to go before!

Magik · #4 10-03-2010, 05:06 PM

Add as above , Rosie by all means. get involved in the Stone Circle sessions.

hey. i've been to glasto 6 times (7th this year), and a couple of years ago the people i intended to attend with bailed out for financial reasons. i didn't want to miss out tho, so i went on my own. i'm entirely sure it's the best way to do it! there's always people i know there, but the best people are the ones you meet randomly, spend several days with and strike up firm friendships with. nowadays the people i go with know not to expect me around for anything, i just breeze around the site chatting shit to random people, seeing who and what suits me. who knows, i may end up chatting your ear off this year...

jonboy · #6 16-04-2010, 07:34 AM

there must be hundreds if not thousands who go to glasto alone we should have a camping field for us,for me its the only way, 4days doin just as u please wish it was tomoz.

zulusteve · #7 17-04-2010, 12:26 PM

My third Glasto, but first year of 'going on own' ... but relishing the freedom... friend's are handy for navigation back to tent though! Forgive my ignorance Magik, but when you refer to the stone circle sessions... are you referring to gatherings where easy for indivduals to mingle at the stone circle?

jonboy · #8 19-04-2010, 12:34 AM

come on magik whats the score(stone circle sessions) its my 4th glasto but havent seen much goin on around there!

The Dawg · #9 19-04-2010, 10:28 PM

Everyone has to attend at least 1 stone circle session!! Surely!?

jonboy · #10 19-04-2010, 11:59 PM

Dawg !!!!!!!! what the fcku is a stone circle sesh. will someone please explain!!!!!!!!

Ru36 · #11 20-04-2010, 11:32 AM

Jonboy, you have to come to the stone circle and find out!

Tommygirl rocks · #12 20-04-2010, 11:47 AM

I am also a girl going alone as my friend's couldn't get tickets or have decided to go to other festivals. Find me on facebook 'Lynne T'. This will be my 11th Glasto and as its their 40th anniversary don't want to miss it, but also don't fancy camping alone....
Thanks

Ru36 · #13 20-04-2010, 11:55 AM

This is my 2nd Glasto and I'm going with some friends but probs going to a few things on my own! I'm sure you will not camp alone!

Nahhhhboss · #14 23-04-2010, 04:01 PM

The best thing to do is set up camp near whatever stage / area interests you most. Then just introduce yourself to the people around you. Most people will be more than friendly... though you may find the occasional Nooobs who doesn't seem to understand the spirit of the festival. Last year we ended up with a crate of pear cider from the neighbouring campers because they had to leave on the Sunday and couldn't be bothered to carry it. Excellent stuff! Best festival in the world!!!

katie palmer · #15 25-04-2010, 04:43 PM

Where are you from?

We've got a big group and as long as you're not a psycho

you're more than welcome to camp with us.

And we've got a bus if you need to get down there.

isssobel · #16 25-04-2010, 06:52 PM

How old are you? If you're looking for someone the right age, people may need to know : )

kkkk · #17 28-04-2010, 07:09 PM

male aged 40 ... been going for years but this will be the first solo experience. PM me if anyone from London area also going alone -- thanks and looking forward to hearing from you

Ballboy · #18 02-05-2010, 12:31 AM

first time on my own here too - been three times before with friends. Be good to hear from anyone else going on their own from Cornwall...

EmilyM · #19 17-05-2010, 01:17 AM

Hi Stacey,
That's exactly what's happened to me!!
I thought about canceling my ticket but I've been to glastonbury 6 times, loved it, even in 2007 when it rained from start to finish, so decided there's no way I'm not going!
find me on facebook

floflo · #20 17-05-2010, 07:08 PM

am on my own as well . would you mind hanging out with me? am easy going and am travelling down from preston by coach. could meet you there. am easy going. Not sure if I have sent you a message before, I am new to this forum and how to use itx

misterdee · #21 28-05-2010, 12:52 PM

anyone else thinking about a loners meet up? stone circle? by the wooden dragon on thursday night? midnight?

Sarah87 · #22 30-05-2010, 07:45 PM

I'm on my own too, all my friends were supposed to get tickets but i was the only one who actually managed it.

guidarufino · #23 01-06-2010, 04:29 PM

I'm sure you'll be fine. I went with loads of people last year and constantly couldn't find any of them so it was almost like being on my own anyway. By far and away the best night I had was the one I spent with random strangers in the healing fields.

There's room in my campervan too... Not the cheapest option but definitely the most luxurious!

Adam · #24 05-06-2010, 02:06 PM

This seems to be a common theme of breaking up, happened to me aswell, gf left and i really wanted to see muse, so looking for people to meet up with. you can add me on facebook or email me on adamlawrence1987@gmail.com

Rosemarywalser · #25 14-05-2011, 09:06 PM

I'm interested to know what the Stone Circle is all about!!! I would like to meet with girls around the same age, I'm 33 going there with my husband and 6 mates but they are all lads so would love some female company to get into the vibe!!!

stinkywitch · #26 15-05-2011, 06:55 AM

Hi Rosemary.
Stone circle is a magical place and a bit like a one stop shop! You can buy "most" things at stone circle and see lots of smiley happy people.
It's the atmosphere along with a most fantastic view of the site that help to make it special.
You are more than welcome to come join us, we will be at stone circle at least once a day

KarenEH · #28 17-05-2011, 10:14 PM

I have to say I don't quite understand why threads are kept from year to year on here? This started before Glasto last year!? No longer relevant to the people who started it surely??

festivalUK · #29 18-05-2011, 02:06 AM

I do believe the wooden dragon is no longer on site, its in some celebrities garden in wales if I remember correctly.

I'm coming alone from France and I was thinking maybe all the lonely ppl would like to set up some kind of meeting there (or maybe u have already done it and I missed the thread).
Anyway if anyone any info about it, pls let me know.

Cheers

There's a Glastowatch meeting at 2.00pm on the Thursday in West Holts in front of the Brothers Bar - everyone is welcome and we'd love to see you there!

See the "Buddy Up at Glasto 11" thread in Stone Circle for details. You can also see the "Splash Mob" thread, although to be honest, it might put you off...

But come along and join the party!
