Would have been my 17th in a row........ I dreamt last night I rang See tickets with some bull about being sure my tickets had been purchased but they had now been canceled and what the hell were they doing to do about it? I actually mulled it over when i woke up. It still hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much negativity in here. Everyone needs an action plan in regards to how they are going to make it into the festival. Start nagging everyone on your Facebook list for help in April, start looking at volunteering. Also start contributing to the rest of the forum, don't hide away in here. The rest of the forum knows what it means to people, to go the festival. You never know, one of the others may secure your ticket Nothing worthwhile in life comes easy. Totally agree. I’m going to contact every single person who follows me on Twitter and get them to help in the April resale. So that’s 3 of us ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right for sure. personally I have got so much to keep myself busy with I cannot even think about wanting April to come quick. In fact I need time to slow down to get all my jobs done. I’ve got family life a man cave to finish, garden to landscape, painting to be done...etc it’s a whirlwind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just ridiculous I mean fancy being that obsessed with a festival you'd spend 5k on a ticket! Where on earth would you even get one? How could you justify it? Do you have a link/phone number/ friend with no morals/burning desire to help? I want to laugh in their faces at such a price. Do they take credit? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastynh Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 The 5k ones were with the Sincura group, where are the 2K ones? I would justify it in my own head if it was a once in a lifetime Depeche Mode headline set. It would be maybe 30-40 pound a month extra on my mortgage.

marktea Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Well I have made it back onto here for a quick look but its very painful! Tantalisingly close on Sunday but was one of those that got stuck on the payment page; so near but still so very far. I will give it my best shot on resale day but am not on facebook or twitter so will try following this thread for a bit of solidarity. And if all else fails will volunteer if I can find somewhere. I thought it couldn't get worse than missing Radiohead last time (I'd managed to get to the previous 8 festivals) but somehow this feels worse! Re volunteering, anyone know of anything that is 'oldie friendly' in terms of recruitment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left the feeling sorry for myself back in Sunday/Monday. Since then I've been sorting myself out, formulating a plan of attack to get me there come Hell or high water Just doing everything possible to maximise chances my chances of being on Worthy Farm come June.

Depends what you mean by that - as far as I'm aware nowhere really discriminates based on age in terms of recruitment, but if you mean slowing down / needing to sit down then yeah - bar work or litter picking may not be the best options. Oxfam (and I assume Festaff if they're there) will make "reasonable adjustments" as long as you notify them in advance that you're unable to stand up for extended periods, but it'd be good to contact them ahead of applying and discuss your specific circumstances.
