If you have any interest in attending Glastonbury this year you really should register for a ticket this month. Yes, it means surrendering to 'the man' and handing over your photo and verifying your address and playing by the rules, but anyone who tells you they can get you a ticket without going through proper channels is lying. They just want your money. Mr Michael Eavis doesn't suffer scalpers.

Of course there are a few other options that you can explore between now and the 14th of March...but take it from this Geek, if you'd rather not end up working in a burger van or hawking hemp clothing you should just register!
Of course, if you happen to believe that Glastonbury is overpriced, overhyped and overrated there are many other festivals you could attend. And let's face it - not everyone who tries for Glastonbury tickets will get them. It's probably a 50/50 chance you'll end up with a crick in your neck or carpal tunnel syndrome depending on whether you focus on telephone or internet sales. It pays to have a backup plan. There are a helluva lot of other places you can go hang in the great outdoors and soak up the festival vibe. Check out Efestivals to see what's out there in the UK and further afield:

Happy hunting! :)

Dear Geek,
I am a brand new documentary maker and am going away for a summer joining a fire fighting crew in Canada.
Is there a way to build me a survival kit? I'm sure it would not be all that different from a festival kit. Not as much music and people, at least as much discomfort.
Hello Pamps,
I have a few suggestions for an enjoyable rapelling(sp?)summer. Earplugs would be a truly excellent item to take on your little trip, as long as your shelter is bear-proof you should be able to slumber untroubled by buzz saw snoring and giggling newbies. Also you might enjoy toilet seat covers and antibacterial handwash if you have 'toilet facilities' at your disposal!
And Rizla. I suspect you will definitely be needing Rizla...and a cocktail glass! Hey presto - a summer of fun.
