We didn't get tickets this year and at the last minute got the chance to volunteer for Aliens Carnival Club who patrol the lane the Helipad is on to keep celeb spotters away. We got Friday 8am-2pm, Saturday 4pm- midnight and Sunday 8am-4pm which we later manged to change to Sunday midnight-8am Monday. We had to patrol the lane for about 6 of the 8 hours and got to sit for the remainder. We had to make our own way to the lane which was 25 minutes walk from Gate B and about an hour from our tent. We didn't get any induction, any shade, any food or water and had to ask a (lovely) householder if we could refill our water bottles. Only saw a few locals making their way to the site and couldn't hear any music so it was very boring. We were promised a lift back to our van on Monday morning but that didn't happen. Pretty disappointing experience really.
