That would be so disappointing, the spider is a bit rubbish now. It's the oldest electronic music stage now, everything else has had a change up. It'd be a bit disappointing if it was all the same especially for something that was designed to evolve.

Interesting wonder if it could be similar style attraction to the peer? Good to have more/different venues around to explore!

Wonder if this is a new phrase or the site just hasn't been updated. Pints were £6.50 last year which is basically Manchester city centre prices now. Swear some London places are up to £8 now.

Would prefer secret sets either like the churnups or non at all Hopefully the festival have stopped doing stupid things like Bastille on Thursday now.

Next Oxfam drop is probably going to be after the Glastonbury resale and probably after the 8 week cancellation. They do that so they know how many places are actually available.

If it's a german company I'm not so sure, know people over there who say printing out tickets is still pretty common place/required rather than use mobile scans.

Tbf I think showhawk duo have that as their full time job!

Yeah tbf that post came across little harsher than I meant. I've always said that the people I know who've done it say "it is what it is, but it's honestly not as bad as you'd think" They definitely do have shifts through to 2-3 am though, I remember diving into a freshly scrubbed longdrop on the way back from the SE corner last year. They'd even left soap at the taps!

From the ones I know about definitely the Guardian hands down. Three shifts between 3 and 5 hours long, all finished by 2pm one 6am start. All shifts on site at busy points. They're a mix of paid and volunteer roles like Avalon, so some people have that pattern and get paid! The problem is you basically have to work for them to get it.

Your friend also had to literally clean up sh*t. Which no cushty perks of starting when you sign in or finishing when you've done your loos the right number of times can make up for being around that smell for more than 10 minutes at a time.

I mean I'm not the impatient one😂

I think that's mostly because there's no Info on new stuff. The only thing we know is genosys is back.

I find it really interesting that some of the changes from the last couple years seem to get set aside. Things like moving BBC introducing to its own field and adding a couple of smaller stages next to it. Shangri-la got a complete redesign last year with a new stage, no-where, and the whole supermarket theme with a couple of secret venues added back in. They're actually quite big changes when you think about, what's the reason they haven't quite landed with people?

Possible yeah, would wonder why they'd get something for the end of the festival and leave it over winter though

The metal on the inside is for running cables and the fact it's got see through glass suggests it isn't something back of house. Definitely looks like it's been/planned to be on or near a stage because of the signs about noise. You're right though it's definitely not the levels, or at least not something you can see from the front of the levels. But it looks like it's already been used on site rather than something new which is interesting

The London group should try to arrive on the west side of the site otherwise they'll have to trek all the way through the site with their stuff from the east car parks to get to you.

Oxfam will probably be after the refund deadline. You could both cancel your place and then both try again. For late additions the cancellation deadline is still there but slightly shorter. That's not ideal though

Way too big for that.

I don't think so but it's always handy to have something like this on hand. Being able to show you generate £32 million for the local economy is always helpful!

That's what I was getting at when I said it would be unlikely to meet their threshold. You could do it but the way it was handled in the end was the better way to do it imo.

Just if anyone is reading this, the charity commission investigate serious complaints of harm and illegal activity about a charity. Being spoken to in a sh*tty way and told to sign in to your shift in a field you can't get to are really unlikely to meet that threshold. Glad they apologised and I'd agree with what other people have said that sometimes you need some self advocacy to ensure your needs are met. Everyone is a volunteer with different abilities.

Any more context there?

Iicon bigger surely?

My experience as a a gate organiser was that as you have no shift sheets you had no idea about any RAs that people might have. So people were having to self declare them to me at the start of a shift so they weren't standing in the sun etc, which isn't what you want and not everyone is comfortable doing that. The gate supervisor, who had the list, obviously had about 60 stewards to get through to sign in and find out who had the RAs . He did in fairness get to everyone but because of a couple of incidents at the start of the shift that took about 2 hours. I ended up just asking everyone individually in a quiet moment if they had any RAs they felt comfortable sharing that I should know. Which worked really effectively and I actually discovered a couple of things that weren't listed but we could accommodate for. It is down to the supervisor but also Oxfam aren't always the best at every situation!
