I wanted to do this whilst volunteering last year. But only a set amount of annual leave each year combined with family abroad means that one festival is the maximum I can go... plus, kind of keeps that thrill of ticket/application day alive

I’m incredibly nervous about tomorrow

I asked the question on Oxfam festivals chat and the consensus was that there’s never a set time, just at some point in the morning.

Can anyone remember what time the Oxfam one got released last year? Got the date pencilled in, but ideally need to know the time so can plan my day.

Failure is not an option

Someone else correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe CND run the property lock ups

This is what we were told at our Oxfam briefing this year

After moping around all day that I didn’t get a ticket, I was of course greeted to a magazine telling me I was unsuccessful in the ballot for the marathon as well Luckily I’ve got the London half marathon to look forward to and (hopefully) tickets in the resale

There is no choice in terms of your shifts, you may be lucky and get early shifts (Sunday - Tuesday). There is always the option of swapping shifts once you’re there as well

I am going to do this after today’s disappointment, done it last year (Oxfam) and had a great time.

Worked with Oxfam this year and thoroughly enjoyed it, nice campsite facilities certainly added to the experience. It was also nice to experience the festival from a different side and get early access to the site. I always assumed that Oxfam were also responsible for the stewards in the middle of the site as well as fire stewards, but it is apparent that this is run by someone else. Does anyone know who organises these roles? Always nice to know all the options available for volunteering.

A major positive of being a volunteer is we don’t have to worry about popping on to the list ticket thread. Oxfam and others safely have our EPO bands waiting. Excitement levels peaked! See you oxfam folk in the Oxfield and all you other wonderful people on the farm

Not an official TBA, but there’s a gap on the Truth Stage Saturday night. 3.40 am until 5.10am seems a long time to set up.

That was simply outstanding tonight

Been lined up with Oxfam for a while so count me in! Got my training next Wednesday in London.
