Glastonbury tickets still on sale

Limited number of tickets up for grabs

2 main factors for me - firstly the headliners announced are particularly uninspiring and for many people this is an important factor. Jay-Z will have limited appeal, the Verve contradicts the desire to attract a younger crowd and while a good band don't really seem headline material after so long away. If it's the main bands that matter then people will expect and get a better set of headliners at other festivals. If it's smaller bands, or not bands at all, that is important then I think the biggest issue is that despite talk of it being non-commerical, Glasto has unfortunately grown too big and too commercial for many. The excessive crowds last year spoiled it, taking far too long to get anywhere. After many years it made me doubt the effort to attend again. The desire to be the biggest and best rather than just "be" I think has harmed Glastonbury.
