Yes, it's that time of year again. This Sunday, April 3rd, is Glastonbury Festival on Contemporary Performing Arts ticket sale day. Start building up the muscules in your F5 (refresh) finger... something tells me you will need it.

Sunday the 3rd of April is the most important day of the year, success or failure on 'G Day' could literally make or break your summer.

Imagine the stress and trauma you will have to put up with, watching the biggest festival in the world on TV, knowing your friends are there partying, while you sit alone in your pants in front of the TV, crying into your empty beer can.

The Glastonbury experience cannot be simulated. It's no good staying at home with it on TV and smearing mud on the carpet in the lounge, and then digging a trench in the back garden to use as a urinal and beer can bin, and then to eventually pass out in.

It's close, but really it's just not the same thing.

In the buildup to G-day, Ollie Boxall and I have written an essential guide to maximise your chances of getting a ticket this year.
