20,000 people sitting in a field

Okay, this may seem a bit premature, but I'm trying to get organised in advance so I know where I'm going to be and when:

Who is planning on going to Glastonbury this year?

It looks like people are only going to be able to buy two tickets this year (half as many as last year! in three years' time we'll only be able to buy half a ticket...), and they are DEFINITELY NON-TRANSFERABLE (just like last year, and how they propose to check I really don't know). So, the other question is:

Who is planning on buying tickets?

(Tickets go on sale at 8pm on 1st April.)

Given the bag-being-nicked episode of last year *I* will not be taking anything like that either. A debit card *kept somewhere else in case of emergencies* is the most I'll be taking.

It's entirely possible that they're just saying it to put the evil touts off, though.

If they're just saying it to put the touts off, then it's double-stupid. Either ordinary people will believe it and they'll be put off by it as well (Bad result) or nobody (including the touts) will believe it, and it will have no effect (null result).

Grr.

If I ran Glastonbury, I'd make people do impressions of a squirrel on acid in order to get their tickets. Best 150,000 impressions get a ticket. Simple! But these days people are afraid of merit-based systems of evaluation, neigh quack moo, on the internet nobody knows you're a badger, IS IT FRIDAY YET?

Well, they're saying that they won't release details of how it's going to work until the tickets are sold so as to not let the touts plan for it. I'm a but dubious about it, too.

I wanted to get all the pixies tickets and make people take an exam (set by *me*) and write an essay and I would decide who could have tickets based on that.
