Lucky!

Don’t forget that the campervan ticket is linked to the ticket holder with name annd anddress on it, and they usually check, so you would need the person with you in your van. Not even that simple even if you found someone willing to swap. Otherwise you then live with stress of being turned away anyway!

I had a hang here for 10 mins 😂😂 a bit like when you finally get the registration page in the main sale after it has sold out .. I gaze on it fondly for a while until all hope leaves my body finally …

Definitely true for tomorrow, but definitely a useful thing to know for the future. I’m a dedicated F5er, but it seems I need more than that these days! 😂

I don’t think it works, I tried dostil. If you look at your screenshot and the detail of what it is looking at , it seems to go to the login page. The chrome extension works!

I’ve got the page monitored, just trying to set up visualping now! ⭐️🙏🏼

Thank you millions! setting up now!

Exciting and also I can hardly breathe!! 😂

😎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are the blind leading the blind 😂 I think there is time to fiddle and get it set up for after the resale and any batch releases ill post any extension install successes here!

I think I used the web app with the windows symbol. It said there was an Opera extension but I couldn’t see a specific download for that. So no, I don’t think a browser extension although that’s what I was trying for! I really wanted to get it on my phone ideally , presumably my laptop would need to be on all the time otherwise?

That’s actually really useful thank you. You might have just saved me 4 months of checking in pointless hope! I got the impression that what you say must be the case… but… you know 😂🤪 I can just walk away now and put my efforts in closer to the time!

I just tried it on my laptop, again it took me to the login page, and after logging it says the page is blocked, so perhaps Oxfam is now trying to stop the checking

Good luck, I’m going to give it a go too. Check in with any successes!

Awesome thank you! I haven’t been able to volunteer in the past, so the processes are new to me. That’s really useful! 😎

Thank you. I’m not sure where the glitch is arising! I’m copying the url from chrome on my phone into the distil app, making sure I’m freshly signed on. you can see on the screenshot that the url ends on “ festival role” as expected, but the page detail is the log in! 🙄🤨😬

Thank you! It might be because I am trying to use the iOS app. I copy the url for the festival choice page properly signed in, but when I put it in Distil and check the link it takes me to the sign in page! I’ll give it a go on my laptop with a Google monitor and try that way - thanks for the tip! oh. I just went to screenshot it to demonstrate my dilemma and it was correct 😂😂. It must be the auto sign out! CORRECTION dear lord, yeah it did what I thought it would , Google it is!

Hello all. Lifetime festival goer, and now my kids are all grown and can do their thing, I’m finally able to volunteer! I’m really excited at the prospect, and managed to get IOW and Latitude, but not Glastonbury yet. if anyone can advise… I’ve got Distil page checker, but when I put in the URL it reverts to checking the login page. Also , does it detect changes in the drop down menu? Or do I have to adjust that in a setting? saw one mention that it wasn’t certain whether spaces come up as people cancel. im wondering whether I’m wasting my time randomly checking when nobody is in the office to put returned places on! 😂 does a person manually re-list them could they trickle on at any time? thanks in advance for any help.. looking forward to meeting folk in the fields!

That is true. I must be getting jaded, I don’t feel it right to pay a service to secure I ticket saying that, I’m applying to volunteer this year, my kids are old enough now.. I only hear good things about it, so look forward to that giving me good vibes back again… if I can find a spot!

I think in the end, it reflects the changing demographic of the festivals, and the way that music festivals have become a rite of passage that a lot of young people do. The mood has changed since Covid , and perhaps it is starting to feel like it’s just not for me so much now. I’ve had a really really good run, but it’s probably the first time I won’t be heartbroken if I don’t get tickets in the resale. The dog eat dog attitude and the world of social media influencers is not the ethos for me, so maybe time to let go..

Sorry, I wasn’t referring to you in particular in the shot down bit. and yes, I agree that there are cases where they are justified , just urging precaution.

Preparing to be totally shot down in reactionary flames. I am a counsellor and have some experience. It is incredibly complicated. some people may feel that from very young for many different reasons. sometimes it is indeed genetic. Sometimes a phase. Sometimes that idea may fulfil a psychological need. sometimes a troubled child might get a lot of positive attention and it becomes a feedback loop where they can see the idea gets them the attention they need. then the idea of transitioning might become the solution when perhaps it’s not this is not from a place of wanting to deny or hurt or disrespect, it is from a place of wanting to protect. perhaps there are things that can help before medicalisation of the problem. Perhaps it is good to learn to love yourself before potentially harming your body and causing a lifetime of problems and pain. I know that there are hoops to jump through, but we also know they are not as thorough as they should be at times because of the state of the NHS express yourself any way you want, call yourself anything you like , rebel and whatever first I know two people now in their 60s who couldn’t afford surgery in the 80s and are glad now that they didn’t, because they now realise it wasn’t necessary - learning self acceptance and presenting themselves as they wanted was one now has kids which may not have been otherwise My best friend had a double mastectomy due to cancer and has ongoing physical problems from that I just can’t see that winning the right to potentially harm your body at a very young age is the greatest goal is that really a terrible thing to suggest?

I’m not at all. I am asking for calm and open debate? I am suggesting things need to calm down. I suggest that cancelling people is doing exactly that - blindly dividing people and pitting them against eachother without listening. I am not divided from anyone.

I am saying that actually. This is playing into the hands of the right wing, and actually doing their dirty work for them. Divide and conquer.

Thank you.. I’m all out of reactions !
