Still keen here or do you mean your friends group? Im just trying to stay out this thread a bit more, so if I don’t get tickets, the pain hopefully isn’t as bad as last time 😩

Always had massive respect for the Water Aid clean up crew on the long drops, but its not for me. Working on a water station could be a laugh, but hungover trying to clean up some of the horror shows I have seen over the years at Glastonbury..... 😩

I never really understand why and how people make such a mess of toilets at festivals, so I generally try squeeze one out whenever I wake up and before they’ve had too much of a chance to get messy again after being cleaned. Not so keen on the long drops, the wind whistling around my bum seems to put me off lol

I think with working, the problem for me is that if you are going with someone, you aren't guaranteed to be on the same shifts. So you could go and never see each other and effectively be there by yourself. That and I don't think going straight from the Block 9 to pick up litter, totally out my trumpet, would be that fun 😅

I am thinking that I might try for the coach too, better than not going at all.

100% as from what I remember reading on here last time and what has been said above, some drivers take the whole issuing of tickets very seriously. Fingers crossed for a jolly bus driver though! 🤞

2017 I wasn’t successful in the resale and by that point there was no volunteering left anywhere. Still not sure what to do this year... 😩

Been quite a lot of reminders by the festival or associated websites since new year regarding deposits, don't remember seeing much until nearer the time for 2017.

Me too, quite surprised people would decide so soon after paying their deposit that they aren’t going 🤷🏻‍♂️

As rubbish as it is not getting tickets (2nd Glastonbury in a row for me) the only people calling for a change to the ticket system, are people who didn’t get through. If anyone in here got through at 9.05 and bought 6 tickets, the sale this year would have been easy in their eyes. I hate ticket day, it’s stressful and can be so so sad, but I don’t really see any fairer way to do it. Someone, somewhere is always going to miss out and say it’s a rubbish system. I am just hoping like some of the comments before, that people have bought tickets just in case. With festivals kicking off in Croatia around the same time, might find people’s plans change and all us lunatics that hang around in here will be lucky in the re sale!

I remember people calling SeeTickets and being convinced they were selling them off internally 😂

What amazes me about this thread is people saying they were trying for a group of 36. I was trying for 4, don’t even know 36 people that would all want to go to a festival together lol

220,000 is a lot of people at the cider bus!

To be fair, this thread was quite fun last time at least. Pretty gutted to be here once again though...

I too shall be impatiently waiting on the resale, sadly I don’t personally know anyone that’s had any luck if they didn’t get tickets in the general sale, so I’m a bit worried.
