I think it has always been within 2 weeks of refund deadline but usually the following week. Most likely days would be anytime now until Friday evening or early next week. But usually loads of page changes in the days before and this year nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just to ask, when are the shifts that Oxfam allocate actually don't?, and is there anyway I can change my partner shift option? I've done all the be considered for early shifts and the Monday leaving but doesn't seem to be a way to see them options now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The allocation / rostering is probably ongoing now, with 2,400 stewards it's a fairly big task. But you won't find out any specifics until you register on site. If you want to change your shift partner(s), you can try emailing them and seeing whether it's too late or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franathy Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 My boyfriend went into a new shop today - 2 ladies on the tills. First lady scanned the barcode and saw the 'you have been entered into Glastonbury competition' message come up. Second lady then told her they couldn't do it because they don't have the right machine (they did) and wouldn't give him the receipt so he put the paper back. Do you think that would count as an entry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I understand it as, if the machine coughs out a receipt that says "entry successful" then it's successful, didn't realise I had to keep a receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it printed out a receipt or not, only that it scanned. I'm pretty sure you don't need to keep them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Mine went off too, in the office! Made everyone jump and I nearly had a panic attack! I couldn't see any differences though either eeeek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience at other non Glastonbury festivals they (Oxfam) festival managers post the shifts for people when you arrive and are briefed. If you are required prior to normal arrival day (Tuesday) then they will let you know ahead. Its then that the shift swapping negotiations commence. You need to find someone who will take your shift and hope that theirs doesn't clash with what you want to see at the festival. Its doable but a ball ache.

ledwards Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just been looking at the resale thread from 2017 as was looking for information on last years secret tipi resale. Seems like there are far less people active on here this year! There was a lot of hope back in 2017 for a secret resale which was obviously quashed which might explain. I have everything crossed for you guys - perhaps if there is a secret resale it wont be so brutal as there's a lot less activity on this thread.

How likely are you to get, say Friday, Saturday, Sunday evening? Or do they try to spread out the worst ones more fairly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind Oxfam tend to do gates and road crossings (as i understand having not done Glasto with them) so busy times will need more people. edit - the shifts will be different on separate days Edited May 8, 2019 by chuckles07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP_8 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just managed to scan the guardian iMovo voucher (well type the code in at the shop). It all went through before I bought the guardian which seemed to me like a separate transaction? A receipt printed off for the 15p but no proof o bought the guardian? any one else had similar worries? Or nerves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be entirely sure because i've not looked closely, but I'd say there's currently fewer people using checkpage this year than last ... but having said that, the number of daily sign-ups is still strong every day so it might end up being as many.

Yeah this happened to me today, she scanned it (after much confusion) tried a local shop as I wasn’t in town. Got the receipt before I bought the paper, don’t understand that, but I bought the paper anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
