Thanks for the replies. If you're going to Glastonbury anyway, and can get
any photos of artists especially who have Wikipedia pages without photos,
then those would be the most useful. Ed has been the first person to reply
asking for the ticket, so as I have to tell Glastonbury ASAP, I'm going to
put Ed's name down for it.
Thanks everybody, and please remember that if you're a WMUK member and
would like a photography pass to attend an event and have a decent camera,
WMUK is happy to ask for press accreditation for any events where there
might be people or other content to take photos of. As you can see, even
big events like Glastonbury are willing to offer us a free ticket.
All the best,

Yes please. Have not been to Glastonbury for over two decades! I have a
Lumix G6, including a 14-140 lens for close-ups. Have taken 1000s of
photos for Commons, and have won a 1st place award in the annual
competition.
best wishes

Hello Wikimedians, I applied for Glastonbury
tickets for Wikimedia
photographers, and our request was initially declined, but Glastonbury got
back to me yesterday and offered us a ticket to send a photographer. The
original person who asked me to ask for a ticket for them can no longer
attend the dates (Wednesday 26 - Sunday 30 June), so I would like to offer
Wikimedia members who are able to take good quality photos the ticket. We
need to tell Glastonbury who is going ASAP, so if you would like the spare
ticket, please email me today if you are a member and have a decent camera
to take photos with. Preference will be given to people who have experience
of submitting quality photos to Wikimedia Commons, so please let me know
your level of experience as a photographer.
All the best,
John Lubbock
