Sorry, I'm not British. I'm American... so, no, Didn't get tickets.

However, what exactly is Glastonbury? Why is it so popular, and why are only that number of tickets avalible???

Glastonbury is literally the greatest festival of all time, link below:

Use this for all the info you need, it is a little bit of a stoner-fest though. Sorry, I just dont know how to catalog topics, I obviously cant prostate myself in humility enough.

Seriously, for the atmosphere alone, there can only be one great festival - glastonbury. I went two years ago and it was so good. They had paul mccartney on last year and the fireworks were meant to be literally orgasmic.

if you go to the disco there you will have to be given headphones to hear the music so the locals dont get bothered by the noise levels

my friend started crying when she couldnt get a ticket to kings of leon, and that wasnt nearly as big a concert. so her friend bought her a $90 ticket off ebay (they only cost 20 to being with) and then she won one from the radio anyway

I've just perked up as I have realised that Oxegen in Ireland has a better line up, AND I'll also get to go to Ireland with all my mates, the world seems such a brighter place! And yes I do get depressed easily if I dont get my annual fix of continuous excellent partying.

Touche, but I could sit in my room thinking what might of been, and remembering paul mccartney with 'live and let die' last year, the white stripes this year possibly with the guy from the beach boys, and all that MUD, but I could also go back to a place I love and have a good time. Oh God, who am I kidding? There is nothing after Glastonbury! *Runs off crying again*
