As is now traditional, tickets for Glastonbury sold out in 90 minutes yesterday morning: 400,000 people had registered, in a new initiative to prevent touting, but with only 137,500 tickets on sale, the odds were that most people would be disappointed.

Previous years have seen music fans gnashing their teeth about crashing servers, jammed phone lines and technology that seemed to be powered by rubber band, so was this year any different? If you tried to get tickets, share your experiences, and either get your frustrations off your chest or tell us what you're looking forward to - Arctic Monkeys, Shirley Bassey, or the perennial joys of the Rizla tent?
