In the past 3 resales when I got tickets all were posted to me as lead booker so unless it's changed it will be the same this time around. Means we should group up with people local to us, which I think is what the spreadsheet is trying to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaels denim shorts Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) I've avoided this thread but it's getting closer to sale time, hopefully the couple of folk I helped out with camper van tickets will join in the F5 quest, I forget who they were now if you're reading Edited February 22, 2017 by Michaels denim shorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbc at the moment. Definitely two but there may be two of my other friends who missed out that I will be trying for.

Ben Holland Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'm really pissed off Im not going this year. Been countless times and was there last year too. They had to get Radiohead and Foos didn't they? Foos are my fav band. Seen them over 20 times and would kill to see them on the greatest stage of all. Parachuting in hasn't been ruled out at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple aki squat Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Had an evening of Radiohead, a bit of foo fighters, some green day and added in Diana Ross whilst clearing the majority of the booze left in the house. Must admit I'm desperate to get a ticket in the resale now. It'll be sunny as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG87 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Wish re-sale day would hurry up so i can get rid of all this will I/won't I uncertainty.

MrZigster Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Registration for volunteer places with Shelter goes live at 10am on Monday I have been informed. From previous experience you can often get to the page earlier than that. Good luck all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What their emails say is often not what actually seems to be the case (but hey, they're a charitable organisation, not website designers). My "as a previous volunteer you get a pre sale type thing" email was sent out on Thursday. I got home from work at about 02:00am on Friday and found it. I tried the link to the T&C's provided and I'm pretty sure it worked (though I maybe had to click around to find the actual registration page), I could have signed up then, despite the email stating "registration opens at 09:00am. I am sure I've experienced this in years previous. As promised they sent me a direct link to the actual registration page an hour before it supposedly went live. What time did you try on Friday? As I think I also tried it late Friday and it was still live. Have you worked with them before? Anyway (to get to the point) clicking that link now gives me this: Quote Sorry We’re sorry but all our early registration places for volunteering at Glastonbury Festival 2017 are now filled.Please check back here at 10am on Monday 27th February for your second chance to register. Good luck! [/quote] http://england.shelter.org.uk/support_us/events/volunteer_at_glastonbury/registration/sorry So, if I were desperate, I would be checking that link from about 02:00am Monday morning, given Shelter's previous form. They reckon places went in an hour last year. Edited February 25, 2017 by MrZigster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the key words from the above (buggered up) quote are "early registration places" and " check back here at 10am on Monday 27th February for your second chance to register. Good luck! ". Got to be worth a try right! Though I can see it being tough for some to come up with a £300 deposit right at the end of the month. I have always had a fantastic time with Shelter. Go for it. Good luck indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 shame I've been sidelined health wise for the last while, I've now missed the Shelter and Festaff registrations as I can't be certain I'll be fit for the festival - should be - but I wouldn't feel right committing for volunteering then having to jack in because of health and not being able to go. I'd rather just go all in for tickets in April and then be able to refund if necessary with the insurance thing. Shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 'told off' by an unnamed poster on here who works at Glasto for failing to grasp the concept of volunteering (I had mentioned the poss of signing up and then dropping out) and he intimated that I shouldn't bother and that he knew of people that worked for those companies.... last thing I want is to upset the apple cart! Basically accused me of trying to do companies out of money etc so thats put me right off the idea.
