The tickets to attend the 2010 Glastonbury Festival may have sold out in a record 12 hours but there is still time to book a VW Campervan for the event that is due to be held 23rd to 27th June 2010 at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Glastonbury, Somerset.
The first Festival was held on the day after Jimi Hendrix died, over a two day period and before long “word had got around”. It was the Blues festival at the Bath & West Showground that had inspired Michael Eavis to begin a festival of his own although on a smaller scale. That was the 19th September 1970. Acts included: Marc Bolan, Keith Christmas, Stackridge, Al Stewart. Attendance: 1,500. Price: £1 including free milk from the farm.
How things have changed - well apart from the weather of course which can always be unpredictable!
In 2009 Michael Eavis later hailed 2009 as "the best Glastonbury ever". He has, of course, said that before. But this time, few saw any cause to argue. After the triumph over adversity that was Glastonbury 2008, expectations were running high for the 2009 Festival. The ticket deposit scheme proved to be a successful and popular initiative, helping the Festival to sell out eight weeks before gates opened. When they did, the crowds flooded through them in droves: by the Thursday morning, a record number of Festival-goers (90,396) had already set up camp on Worthy Farm's rolling hills. Excitement and anticipation fizzed throughout the site, and this year's event certainly lived up to it.
Attendance 134,000 Weekend Tickets, 37,500 passes (for crew, performers, stewards,traders etc,) and 6,000 Sunday Tickets. Tickets were £175 including programme.
Visit the Glastonbury Festival Web Site for more details on next years event and Book your VW Camper and VW Campervan Camping Site now before it is too late. Glastonbury HQ advise that they are increasing the size and therefore capacity of the Campervan field so demand will be high for those vital parking spaces.
Even on the morning the 2009 Glastonbury camp sites opened, CampinaVDub HQ were still taking calls from people asking if we had a spare Campervan for hire.... Book Early to avoid disappointment. Those callers were for sure :-(
