    Yes. If you look at their info it does say that they will try to accommodate requests to see a particular artist. You're so lucky getting alternating day/evening shifts at this stage. I sorted mine last Thursday and ended up with 4 12 hour night shifts! I've requested a change to days and evenings so fingers crossed for me too! Awesome that you're going though! 

    Yeah I know I'm very lucky. They first put me on 7-night shifts, then 8-day shifts, then out of nowhere it suddenly changed to these alternating ones! Couldn't believe my luck so very quickly confirmed it and downloaded my pass haha

    My mate's in the same group and I have a shift during Radiohead as well. But their website says it should be possible to change shifts or plan (lunch)breaks to see the artists you want, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. :)

    Awesome, my fears are allayed!

  3. Hey everybody!

    So I signed up to DC Site Services yesterday and they've put me in the "Crossing Werewolf" team. Anyone else doing crossings? The thing is the *only* reason I'm going to Glasto this year is to see Radiohead, and the Werewolf team says that Friday is a 'late shift', which I'm worried might clash.

    First, does anyone who's done this in the past know what the shift times actually are (there are early, late and night shifts listed, 8 hours each)?

    Secondly, if it looks like that late shift will clash with Radiohead, is there anyone on "Crossing Dwarf" who'd like to swap, either entire shift pattern or just a single shift, or even just a couple of hours? It might make it easier to cover if we already have it sorted before we arrive! Feel free to PM me if so.

    Anyway, feeling relieved that I'm going now in some capacity at least. See you at the cider truck! (If my shift allows)

    Were you registering via the Volunteer section or Staff section? Glastonbury only appears under the Staff section as it is paid work.
    I've gone for a 5-day 12hr (daytime) clicker job. Not worked at a festival before so this should be interesting. Thanks @dougal1 for the heads-up! :D


    EDIT: I've just looked under the Staff section again and Glastonbury applications are still showing as Open!

    Ah you legend! I'd forgotten there were even two different sites, as both look the same. I just registered on the staff site and applied with my deposit - here's hoping it comes through!

    most definitely.  I should get a photo of the tickets tomorrow, if they're legit, I'll let you guys know and you can have a rap battle to determine who wins the other ticket.  I can't think of anything fairer.

     

    I'm only looking for one, so I'll get practising to pancakeroll deep!

    Speaking of, I may have a new lead on a pair of tickets.  Will keep you updated if they turn out to be genuine or hilariously suspect

    Please do! (Are you still looking for tickets for yourself then?)

  7. Ah found it, it's [for some reason it's redacted their name, must be the same thing happened when you posted it, just search "glastonbury marquee" on Twitter you'll find it]. 'Previous Experience Essential' though. Only the second time today I've cursed my choice of career then! My friend told me earlier he could get me in if I was a sound engineer :'(

    have just tweeted that someone is looking for marquee people. Haven't checked the link, but might be worth a shot for anyone willing/able to work.

    Who have tweeted? Sorry trying to find it but not sure where to look!

    Might be worth rethinking twixing it this year, I'm guessing crawling around in the perimeter bushes and woods dressed in camouflage gear and a balaclava might not go down too well!

    Wow, I didn't even think about it like that - very good point!

    Afternoon all. 

    Please excuse met happiness but yesterday I finally found out I have a way in! :D so relieved to have it sorted! 

    I was only after entrance for me and my friend and have ended up finding 4 in total.... meaning I currently have access to 2 spare and wanted to offer it up on this thread as you all deserve it. 

    Unfortunately I'm not setting the price and its not cheap at all so be prepared, it is however way way cheaper than those 2K hospitality packages and it guaranteed entry. 

    Myself and friends have used the same "route in" before - if your interested just inbox me for my number and ill send you more details about it. 

    Hopefully ill be able to sort a couple of people out and we'll all be at the effects meet!

    I'd definitely like to find out more! PM'ing you now

    Ah feck it, been away for a couple hours, what have I missed?? :-(((

    A first hand account from someone here chatting with a local who said they were offered more local tickets 10 days ago as 'refunds / returns'... so looks like the usual secret resale batch has just been turned around into local tickets instead.

    If I wasn't seeing Radiohead either side of the festival in Dublin/Manchester, I'd be pretty much inconsolable. Still hurts a lot though, the ever growing prospect of not being on the farm this year :(

    Yeah in fairness I saw them twice last year (Roundhouse and Primavera) and have tickets to both nights at Manchester in July (although everything up to 11th June there is cancelled for obvious reasons, and everything after is still TBC) so I can't really complain. But Radiohead on the pyramid stage is still right at the top of my bucket list, and if this pattern stays the same I won't get another chance until 2031...

    Heart goes out to you. I feel the exact same way. Radiohead, my favourite band ever and I can't get tickets for the first time in 5 years. This would have been at the very top of my festival wish list. It ain't over yet, I'm looking at working options. 

    Yeah I'd definitely consider working in some capacity but I can't help but think it's too late now. Let me know if you find anything? :)
