Glastonbury tickets still on sale

Limited number of tickets up for grabs

While I still think Glastonbury is the best festival going, it lacks any first-class big act action this year along the lines of acts such as Radiohead, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC etc. Even the newly-reformed My Bloody Valentine would have added a bit of badly needed excitement to the line.up. I really enjoyed last year, but it was definitely the most expensive Glasto I've been to. Every food stall seemed to be at last £1-£2 dearer than 2005 and there was no cheap cold beer available at the stalls. Unless, you brought a few slabs of beer in, which is very difficult if you're coming from overseas and haven't brought a car, you had no choice apart from buying pints of Carlsberg at up to £3.50 a pop. That makes for a very expensive four or five days on the beer! The line-up is very uninspiring to date and Glastonbury organisers have consistently failed to deliver wow factor names in recent years. In 2008, I'm going to put the money I would have spent going to Glasto towards a really good holiday in sun. I reckon loads of people are doing something similiar.
