I'm not sure a friend of mine has 4 shifts, starting on the Wednesday morning but I'm sure you could get away with less. I believe you get staff parking and a wristband for the staff bars but don't quote me on that I should find out more today. I would fill in the online application and give them a ring.

Cooter Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Morning! I've revised my stance with regards to "work at Glasto not being for me" and just registered with the ctm people. I'm quite old, boring, sensible and always hanging around car parks so hopefully that'll get me in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not certain on this but I think that in the past CTM have recruited a mix of paid staff and volunteers. The volunteers will work the standard-ish 24 hours total, whereas the paid staff will typically do 5x12 hour shifts which obviously doesn't leave much scope for enjoying the festival. So definitely worth checking which you're signing up for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm using the VisualPing extension for Chrome and got a 'ping' on the event page this morning at 9am. Couldn't see any difference myself (or buy tickets ?). Think it said something about the logo but I can't find a history/log of changes. Just a heads up anyway.

franathy Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm feeling like no secret resale this year. There should be way more page changes going on at this point. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
