How to buy tickets for Glastonbury Festival

GLASTONBURY TICKET FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

HOW DO I BUY A GLASTONBURY TICKET?
Everyone aged 13 or over needs to be registered (aangemeld) at glastonbury.seetickets.com. If you’ve been to the Festival before, it means that you are already registered. Go to glastonbury.seetickets.com at 9am (BST) on Sunday 7th October (tickets only). Tickets can be booked by paying a £50 deposit (borg, geld dat je voordat je het ticket koopt betaald) per person.

CAN I STILL REGISTER?
No, registration has now closed; it will reopen after the ticket sales.

I HAVE MORE THAN ONE REGISTRATION. IS THAT OK? WHICH ONE SHOULD I USE TO BOOK MY TICKET?
It’s OK to have multiple registrations (even linked to the same email account); however, we recommend (aanraden) deleting old registrations that you don’t use any longer. If you plan to book tickets for the Festival, please make sure that you are using a registration with your name and photo, and that the photo is recent and of passport standard.
You can request (aanvragen) a list of all your registrations here (please note it isn’t possible to edit or delete your registrations while registration is closed).

HOW MUCH WILL TICKETS COST?
Tickets cost £248 + £5 booking fee per person, with deposits of £50 per person that you pay when you book the ticket. Children aged 12 and under are admitted (toegelaten) free of charge (gratis).
Your ticket balance (£198 + £5 booking fee) will be charged in the first week of April.

HOW MANY TICKETS CAN I BOOK?
You can book up to six tickets per transaction, if you have the registration numbers for everyone for whom you are booking a ticket.

HOW CAN I PAY?
UK buyers may use either a UK registered debit card (bank pas) or UK registered credit card.
International buyers must use a credit card (with a non-UK billing address).

Opdracht 2: Match the Questions

Warming up

Read the paragraph below (hieronder) and think of a question you can ask about it.

Although four out of five wildfires are caused by people, nature also plays a part. Dry weather, hot temperatures and strong winds combine. Then all you need is a spark in the form of lightning, a broken power line (hoogspanningslijn), or a burning campfire. The fire can then last for weeks and spread across thousands of kilometres of land.

Interview text

Read the text and match the interview questions A-F with paragraphs 1-4. There are two extra questions.

A   What is the most dangerous part of being a firefighter?

B   What is the most important personal quality (eigenschap) for a firefighter?

C   How physically fit do you have to be?

D   How did you become a firefighter?

E   Why did you decide to become a firefighter?

F   What other skills do you need?

1 ………………

I’m Jack Gomez, and I’m a firefighter (brandweerman) in California. I remember watching an interview with a firefighter pilot when I was a child. He’d been fighting a fire for about five days. He was exhausted (heel moe), but he was still there, talking about how many lives were being saved. He was so optimistic and committed (toegewijd) that I thought that I wanted to do the same thing. And I never changed my mind.

2 ………………

I did a training camp to get my wildfire qualification (kwalificatie) card – you can’t fight fires in the US without one. I learned how to fight controlled fires, and how to put them out again. I also learned how to use all the equipment (uitrusting). The camp was really hard, but I passed first time – which was a big relief to me! After that I applied for a job, and I was lucky enough to get one.

3 ………………

One of the things you have to do in the early days is the pack test. This consists (houdt in) of a five-kilometre walk while carrying a backpack that weights twenty kilograms. You must be able to complete it in forty-five minutes or less without jogging or running. This shows how strong you are. If you can’t do this, how can you carry the heavy fire equipment, or fight fires in difficult conditions for hours at a time?

4 ………………

You can be out alone in vast (uitgestrekt) forests and national parks, and sometimes the smoke (rook) is so thick that you can hardly see. So it’s important to be able to know where you’re going, to be able to map read, and to use a compass. Also, you must know how to put up a tent, cook outdoors, drive a truck, and have other basic survival skills.

Warming up

WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

A

Jeff Haslam spends a lot of his time underground. He works in London’s sewers (riool) – the tunnels under the roads that carry away waste water … and other, much dirtier things! His job is to keep the sewers clear. ‘We work in teams of six,’ says Jeff. ‘It’s very dirty work. And of course we work in the dark.’ He has to wear special clothes, a mask and a helmet with a light. ‘The most difficult thing is clearing the fat and oil from the sewers under the Chinese and Indian restaurants,’ he says. ‘Last month we removed 1,000 tonnes of fat!’

B

Many people like to work outdoors (buiten), but few would like Charlie Radley’s job. Charlie lives in Alaska and works on a fishing boat. Each fishing trip lasts about a week. ‘It’s extremely cold and often stormy,’ says Charlie, ‘so we wear warm, waterproof clothes.’ Charlie can earn a lot of money if they catch a lot of fish, but if they don’t, he earns very little. ‘I’ll do this job for a year or two more,’ says Charlie, ‘then I’m going to look for another job – something warmer and drier!’

C

Sandy Smith is a lumberjack – somebody who cuts down trees. Sandy saw an advertisement for lumberjacks on the internet. Lumberjacks work long hours and are not very well paid, but as Sandy likes to work outdoors, she decided to apply (soliciteren) for the job. ‘It’s a very dangerous job,’ says Sandy. ‘We work with big, dangerous machines, and we’re always a long way from the nearest hospital – so I’m always very careful!’

How important are museums to you?

We asked three young people this question and this is what they told us.

Chris

A lot of my friends think museums are boring but I love them. I prefer ones where they move things round regularly, and bring in new things to keep it interesting. I also like to have things to listen to as well as look at. I suppose I like museums because I’m really interested in history and art. We study these subjects at college, but I’ve actually learned a lot more about them from museums than from my textbooks.

Emily

I’m lucky because I live in New York, so there are lots of great museums for me to visit. One thing I’ve learnt is that you should never try to see a whole museum the first time you go. Just go to one or two rooms, and then return as often as you can to see the rest. For me, it’s important that the people who work in the museum are pleasant, and happy to talk to me about the things in the exhibition (tentoonstelling). That makes a big difference.

Daniel

I don’t go to museums much, except (behalve) during my holidays in new cities. Then I make sure I spend at least a day going to the most famous ones. If it’s a big museum and I don’t have much time, I sometimes walk into a room and choose just five things to look at. I also take a tour if there is one, as I learn so much more from listening to the person showing us round than I do if I’m by myself.

For each question, choose the correct answer.

Opdracht 6: Mixed

True or false

Read the texts. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?

1   Sam’s parents chose his holiday.

2   Sam had a frightening experience.

3   The weather was good during Harriet’s holiday.

4   Harriet went home earlier than she expected.

Have you ever been on holiday without your parents?

Would you like to? Read this before you decide …

 

SAM

I come from a strange family. My parents have always believed that we should learn to look after ourselves from an early age. That included holidays. I remember my poor brother went on a canoeing (kanoën) trip on the River Thames with a cousin when they were both just twelve years old. They had a miserable time and have never really recovered from the experience.

When I was fifteen, they decided I was old enough to go on holiday with just my best friend. ‘You’re going to hitch-hike (liften) to the Lake District with a tent and a backpack; you’re going to camp, up in the mountains, for a week; and then – if you’re still alive – you’re going to hitch-hike back again. ‘So we hitch-hiked for hundreds of kilometres, we camped, we got cold and wet and scared, and couldn’t afford to buy enough food. But, against the odds (tegen alle waarschijnlijkheid in), we survived.

 

HARRIET

I’ve been on a number of holidays without my parents, but the first holiday was two years ago, when I was sixteen. Six of us decided to go backpacking in Wales during the school holidays. I booked cheap hotels before we left. The first two days were fine. But at the end of the second day, we lost our way. It was pouring with rain (stromende regen) and it was getting dark.

We eventually came to a farmhouse and knocked on the door. We were so dirty and wet that they didn’t let us into the house. We had to wait in the garage! But they let us phone the hotel. Anyway, the hotel manager kindly sent a car for us. But the next day it was still raining so we decided to take the train home. I’ve learned why no one goes backpacking in Britain in March – it rains non-stop and the fields are covered in deep mud (modder). I’ve never had such a miserable (ellendig) time! My holidays since then have been in warm places with dry weather!
