Does anyone know a) if stewards park in the same place as customers and do we pay the parking fee too? and
is there a separate steward camping area or do we just camp with everyone else? -
Nothing can be as boring as a night shift checking tickets are glastonbury ON THE SATURDAY!
I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever it is, just wanted to know if someone had done it before. There's not a lot of info about working at end of the road, I've been used to the Oxfam set up which is basically information overload.

No i got that would be WHERE i would be... just wanted to know if anyone knew what I would be doing, like if you got car park, you can generally guess you would helping people to park etc. but this is a bit more vague.

Does anyone know what 'main & garden' entails? All the others are a bit descriptive like office, wristband exchange etc. But I'm on main & garden....

Got a reply, the website is wrong, we'll be told 'a few weeks prior to the festival'.

I applied and was accepted to steward back in February but now I've seen on the website we should have been sent our shifts etc it says: If you wish to be placed on the reserve list, or havent heard about your shifts, please contact our steward manager Sue on info@wickedevents.co.uk
Has anyone else heard about their shifts? Seems a bit early but I am used to Oxfam and being told when you turn up. I've sent an email off to that address too but haven't heard back.

computer went a tiny bit mental. Sorry for the multiple posts.

For instance... some people are parents (and bloody good ones too) at 15, would you stop/check a 15 y/o girl who walked through your gates with a young baby and tell her she could not come in as she wasn't an adult (but she is a mother whom is responible for another persons life)? Do you see that life throws up shit, and we all deal with it, but what we can't do is label...

In all my life i have never heard so many narrow minded people.
I mean come on. Who made all of you god! Jesus christ you're saying things like "if i let a 15 y/o in and he did drugs and died then it's my fault" WRONG. Its the fault of the person who takes the drug. You as a steward at the gate are not GOD...

I'm not surprised you ran into foul exchanges of words

And if your contract is that shabby, then shame on your employers. If I were you, I'd seek Trade Union representation for next year.
-
Shall I keep on with this or can we all just admit you'd have to be a bit of a prick and a suck up to not allow a 15 year old in using "the rules" as an excuse?
-
Nah unless you get the jobsworth dickhead one.

I was working wristbanding at the west carparks, hope i brightened a few people's wait to be searched by security.
Managed to finish my shifts by 4 on the Friday (managed a 8 hour on 6 hours off 8 hours on) so had the whole weekend free but by Sunday eve I was sooo tired and the rain just killed it for me so headed home at about 6. This was my first working festival and it won't be my last!
Hope you all liked your wristbands in the end, even if we did get some people who looked like their world had ended when they didn't have a bit of metal holding it together.

I was working for Oxfam (orange tabards) on White Gate scanning tickets on Thursday morning and Ladies toilets near the Main Stage Friday night and Saturday morning, enjoyed all the 'Oxfam being sent into Reading toilets because its a natural disaster' jokes. Sorry to all the men desperate for a wee who I couldn't let into the women's toilets, glad only a very small minority tried to have an argument over the fact I was just doing my job.
