Glastonbury: No Ticket, No Entry, Get Over it!
26 June 2002
Buses to and from the site will not service people without a ticket,
and only vehicles with a parking pass and tickets
for everyone inside will
be admitted within the 15 mile cut off zone around the festival.
The new fence has cost
in excess of £1M and organiser Michael Eavis claims that few will be able to scale it. He said: "There might be a couple of
dozen, but I very, very much doubt it." Added security and policing will be spot checking people for tickets, which should
all make for the most peaceful and relaxed weekend of the year.
Killing any fears of a Mean Fiddler commercial sponsor-circus
following the festival organisers' much publicised involvement with Glasto, the festival's commercial manager Hannah Rossmorris
remarked: "Although we get a huge number of companies wanting to be involved, we are not open to sponsors in the same way
other events are. We could make millions but we choose not to, and we never will. We would rather not have the festival.
"We
don't allow any branding on site - Orange, for instance, removes all its logos - and we try to make sure sponsors are giving
something back to the people at the festival. Any involvement is low-key rather than in-your-face. It's better from a marketing
point of view because, in this environment, overbranding would work against you. The people who come here are very media-savvy
and don't like to be told what to buy."
