Festaff applications

Sounds like the 'Kayne factor' is not affecting the number of people wanting to attend (not necessarily pay) to go to Glastonbury

I think applications for wristbanding (maybe stewarding) staff went live today for new applicants and has closed already

Huge thanks to everyone who has applied for Glastonbury 2015. We've had unprecedented demand for our positins and have now closed applications. If there are any further posts in the future we will annouce them through social media. thanks to one and all !!!

Reading back the posters seem to suggest that applications have remained open for a number of days/weeks in previous years

I've applied for this after missing out in the ticket sale.

What are the chances of actually being accepted? Presuming I should hedge my bets and try in the resale anyway?

I'm going to try the same also, would be nice to get a response back before the resales start.

with these voluntary tickets what's to stop an individual signing up to volunteer and then just not working any shifts once they are inside the festival. i understand you pay a deposit which the price of a ticket?, so i'm sure many people wouldn't mind losing this deposit money if they had been unsuccessful in the general sale, as a means of getting inside the festival? always wondered this!

They do have ways to prevent this and make life very difficult for you, but what an incredibly selfish thing to even suggest. If every one of the volunteers had that attitude the festival would literally collapse overnight and have to be shut down.

It was a completely "out of curiosity" question, as I am sure other people have thought about and have asked in the past. Luckily I have my ticket and would never dream of doing the aforementioned, but it's something I have often wondered. There must be a fair number of people who volunteer and get a little too tuned in and miss their shifts as well surely?

You go on a blacklist after the fest and for this reason alot of the deposits are higher than the ticket price now.

You have to hand over your passport/ID too. So it's not just the deposit you will be loosing.

Wouldn't hand my passport over to anyone, very surprised at this as I am not sure they are allowed to do that. I do know that catching volunteer runaways is a good game for security and the record is three minutes, photos are circulated around and they like catching people!

Quite!

NEVER DO THIS!

It's how people get tricked into modern day slavery. See UAE/Qatar builders.

Anyone that has volunteered before, are there any food stands open on the Monday and Tuesday before the festival starts?

There are a limited number, but enough for you to find something. There's also a vegi cafe within Tom's field, which primarily dishes out the coupon food for the recyclers. You can buy the food, though I think the cash value they put on the meals is high compared to the better commercial staffs out in the festival. I do eat there (but only because the food is effectively free for me) but it means you can get something to eat on your tent's doorstep if, as stated above, you are camping in Tom's Field.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
