    2020 (the last normal year) was 29 Jan for priority and a week later for everyone else.  They announced that on 23 Jan so you get a week to get organised and this thread tends to come alive around then.

    Having an account is the main thing, you update it after you have registered for a festival/paid a deposit.  It’s worth “registering your interest” each year as it makes sure you stay on their mailing list - at least that’s the advice from the Facebook group.

     

    OK thanks, I volunteered at Latitude this year with Oxfam (other events I applied/got accepted for got cancelled in the end but still count towards priority I believe), so was just wondering if I could use that same account to apply quickly for Glasto next year as I’m likely going to be in the mountains somewhere 😬

    Definitely going to do it on day one. Can’t chance it

    Any thoughts on when ‘Day 1’ is likely to be? I have a ski trip booked end Jan/first week of Feb so hoping it won’t be then as it may be tricky to apply from a remote location.

    I already have an Oxfam volunteering account, do I need to update it/change anything to apply for Glasto next year? 😬

    Experienced and long-term returning stewards also qualify for priority status, if one of the following applies:

    • You have held a supervisor role at festivals for us for the previous 2 years.
    • You have volunteered at 7 or more festivals in the previous 7 years*.

    Used to be 10 in 10, plus one other that I can't remember. 

    OK, thanks 😊

    Yeah, I already qualify for the long service priority but still like to do two a year. Nice to know I don't have to though.

    Could be interesting next year with priority status carrying over plus a load of people doing two festivals this year to get priority too. Could be way more priority applicants than usual

    What is long service priority? 🤔

    It looks like Spain has had an out door test event in Barcelona for 5,000 fans. It will be interesting to see what the results are from it in the coming weeks. I still think Madcool is to soon in the season to actually happen.

    Isn’t this event part of a three-year study I thought I read somewhere? If so, there may not be any definitive results any time soon 🤔

    I think the biggest problems are going to be whether we’re allowed to actually travel to Spain in early July for this, coupled with the spikes in cases around Europe that are happening at the minute. Like you, I’m inclined to agree that MC is looking less and less likely (for us at any road) this year... 😩

    If you were working for the company that administrates the draw, how tempted would you be to fudge it and give yourself a ticket somehow...? Worth the risk of the sack? 

    I’m guessing five people who work for that company thought the very same thing which is why we’ve not heard anything about the winners on socials 😂

  7. Excuse my simple brain, but the codes I’ve already entered, are these now null and void (ie. won’t be entered into the subsequent draws), meaning I have to go out and buy more cheese to get new codes for the next draw, and so on... 🤔

    On the plus side I reckon a lot of people will forget and lose interest after the first month... 

    Let’s hope so, only the die-hards will remain 😂

    Absolutely MadCool could happen for a festival willing/able to postpone to September and willing to take a risk.

    I doubt though that MadCool is that festival.

    10% about right.

    Problem is that with so many festivals being put back to September, etc., there would likely be a lot of ‘clashes’, which they’d surely have to offer refunds for as they’ve changed the dates, if it comes to that? I already know I will struggle with September 😬
