Many Questions!

[Kuz]

Hi,
I´m from Germany, sorry for my bad english, and for me and my friend it´s the first time on glasto. and now we have many questions...
btw it´s not our first festival. we were already of a lot of festivals in germany and austria.

1. Are camping chairs allowed on the campsite?
2. Is there any supermarket on the festival area, where we can buy beer-pallets or whiskey for example and are doses allowed?
3. Can we invole our air tickets in lockers over the whole festival? And how much is it?
4. How long we must stand for wc/shower in the morning?:P

5. Are the campsite separated to the stages or rather are there any controlls, when I go from my tent to the stages?
6. On the youtube videos I can´t see any wavebreakers by the stages. Isn´t there any breaker like rock am ring?

7. Yesterday the lineup published. When come the timetalbe online?
8. When we must go the pyramid stage for example to see U2 before the first lightmixer-tower? Are the beginning from snoop dogg to late?
9. On our visited festivals so far, stage-hopping wasn´t a problem. But the stage area here is so much bigger, so how long we need ca from pyramid stage to other stage, from other stage to john peel??

thanks very much

Hi, lets see if I can answer a few for you -

1. Yes.
2. It was my first time last year and I didn't see anything. Food is plentiful as there are loads of stalls. Beer etc - there are cider buses (you must try the Brothers Cider at the West Holts stage) and plenty of beer tents. If you want a specfic beer or whisky you'll have to take your own.
3. yes there are secure, 24/7 places you can leave your tickets , bags etc.. No charge but they do ask for a donation (they are set up by a charity).
4. - sorry don't know. We go in a campervan.
5. No, once your in the arena it's all open to you. Only those in the campervan fields have to go through security evey time the enter/leave.
6. Yes there are some breakers, but only at the Pyramid stage. Not as many as at rock am ring. The crowds do get big at the pyramid stage but not as "crazy" as a full on rock crowd!
7. erm sorry don't know.
8. depends on who is on at the other stages and if they get a big draw. EG last year Nick Cave was on before Blur - it was fairly quiet for Cave, about half way through it started to get busy as people turned up for Blur. Maybe someone with more Glato experience can answer this better
9. Moving between stages can take a while, the only tip I would give is don't try and get from one stage to another to see bands that are back to back on different stages. You might get caught up in a crowd and miss the band. I found getting away from the Pyramid and West Holts took a while last year, the rest not as long. Also depends where you are stood.

Hope you enjoy Glasto - I loved it last year and am so excited about this year!!

1. Are camping chairs allowed on the campsite? YES
2. Is there any supermarket on the festival area, where we can buy beer-pallets or whiskey for example and are doses allowed? No but you can bring your own as long there is no glass and as said before Beer tents and Cider buses at most stages
3. Can we invole our air tickets in lockers over the whole festival? And how much is it? Yes secure lock ups are free but give something its for charity
4. How long we must stand for wc/shower in the morning?:P Depends where you camp busy fields can wait 5 minutes less for smaller. Showers depends what time you go only a few on site so can be 1 hr to walk straight in

5. Are the campsite separated to the stages or rather are there any controlls, when I go from my tent to the stages? Once you are into the festival your in. No controls at all depends where you camp if Hospitality there are controls
6. On the youtube videos I can´t see any wavebreakers by the stages. Isn´t there any breaker like rock am ring? Only at the Pryamid stage think there is 2 rows of wavebreakers

7. Yesterday the lineup published. When come the timetalbe online? There is a approximate clashfinder online now http://www.clashfindergeneral.co.uk/s/g2010/
8. When we must go the pyramid stage for example to see U2 before the first lightmixer-tower? Are the beginning from snoop dogg to late? I would get there halfway through the Act before just in case as I suspect there will be a huge crowd for U2 although I wont be there
9. On our visited festivals so far, stage-hopping wasn´t a problem. But the stage area here is so much bigger, so how long we need ca from pyramid stage to other stage, from other stage to john peel?? Pyramid to other stage is 20 mins at the least thats if your quick and go before the end of last act. other stage to Dance area is 5 -10 mins dependinding where you stand and also when you leave the other stage. other stage to JP you have to walk through dance area so 15-20 mins as you will get distracted (also add 5-10 mins depending on your state of mind)

thanks very much

Hope that helps happy Glasto !!!!!
