Emily Eavis: 'Jay-Z not to blame for Glastonbury registrant numbers'

Glastonbury organiser claims recent bad weather is to blame

It was the increased capacity combined with the mud that made last year such a chore. The infrastructure couldn't cope, and I saw lots of people clearly frustrated and leaving early. We haven't heard anything about how they'll fix the problems for this year (or even a clear admission that there were problems). With this in mind they really needed to win people over, but the current line-up doesn't seem worth the effort. I don't mind the choice of Jay-Z, in fact it's a refreshing change (albeit a few years past his prime), but the rest is nothing to get excited about. I've registered, but I'm not sure if I'll stump up for a ticket again.
