Madyaker Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 What the story with helping people get tickets in the resale? I was lucky in the coach sale but I'll help others if I can, preferably regular users of this forum and especially those who missed out last year, considering the uncertain future of the festival.

Doug85 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm considering grabbing a volunteer space whilst any are still available. Seems as though they are limited but there are still some there. If I get them I may need to remove myself from the spreadsheet to give others more of a chance.

Lucy92 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Being this side of Christmas has increased my ticket day anxiety... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 my anxiety for the resales is at peak levels at the mo because of the news about Variety Bazaar and the likelihood of no Glasto til 2020! If I miss this one I will likely cry! I didn't fancy the wateraid volunteering but I'm signed up to steward for a few places, will be applying to volunteer as soon as places open. If I get a place I'll let my group pay for GA tickets and volunteer and camp away from them. Will be weird but after myself and a certain member of this forum had a ruck on here about volunteering I feel its only fair not to fuck whoever I sign up with off so thats that!

Doug85 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have signed myself and the Mrs up for litter picking today and paid the deposit. I couldn't risk not getting tickets in the resales this year and the window of applying to be a volunteer closing. I will still be helping others, I just didn't want to risk it. Thats what the trauma of T day has done to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyrees Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Doug85. Have you volunteered before and is the reason that you've been able to pay a deposit so early? If not what company have you volunteered through and do you have a link etc for me to be able to apply to do the same please? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug85 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have friends who volunteered last year and have sent emails on behalf of me last year in case i wanted to volunteer. I am doing it through SOS Africa though and that was set up via Fiona Case- her email is on the Glastonbury website. They usually ask for people who have done it before or recommendations from people who have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your wife manages to sort it out. Don't put that ticket back into any pot until the May deadline, give yourselves the maximum time you can. I am a social worker and said I was resigning so i could go. It worked. I know it's extreme but nurses are needed badly and there are other jobs around. I hope she can sort it in time.

andyb66 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've decided that if i'm unsuccessful in April i'm going to lock myself in my bedroom from midday on 21st June for 5 days and just mope and generally behave like a child who's just had their mobile phone confiscated by a parent! I might come out for pizza.....but thats it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderwoman76 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Bugger. Was desperately hoping for the Radio 1 ticket winner call this morning. Who else was clutching their phone willing it to ring? Sob sob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payneruk Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 My friend has just told me she no longer wants to go. So that's another ticket for the resale pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfuhruhurr Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Argh. Have made the decision not to go, having failed to get one in the most miserable way (through to payment, payment hung). Off to Rock Werchter instead. More than happy to help others in the resale - so please add me into the helpers. And if one of you are successful - do take my place as a Worthy Warrior. Cheers.
