Hello lovely people.

I'm going to try and get tickets for Glastonbury this year. I haven't been since 2007, which was the first year where you had to register but this whole deposit scheme thing is new to me and I'm not very bright so the Glastonbury website isn't making much sense to me.

The last time I went, the bun rush for tickets was in April, but now there seems to be two stages of handing over money - a £50 deposit in October, then the remaining balance in May.

Could y'all let me know if it's relatively easy to pay the deposit in October, or whether it's a hectic grab requiring much F5ing, like it used to be at the time when tickets went on sale pre-2007?

A thousand thanks.
