I got a place today to volunteer with Oxfam, although it took a whole lot of pressing refresh (it comes up as "sold out" when you go on the place but it appears they put places back on the website as cancellations come through.) I missed out on all four sales, and the failure to bag resale tickets nearly finished me off. I'm now a chappy. Good luck all! @Bhayley I've gone with Oxfam about 6 times - three x 8 hour shifts (one early one late and one overnight), showers, secure campsite and three meal tickets thrown in. Great fun, highly recommended - would prefer to go with them than with a ticket (personally). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really likely that you’re doing all of the shifts over the weekend or do they try and be nice? I must say tho the meal tickets sound quite convincing hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is actually an advantage as you get to find/sample the staff bars and see the site before we've all turned up to wreck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareToDibble Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Dangerous game but I've convinced myself that not many people will have been bothered to do this Guardian competition every day like most of us on here and that as a result at least a few of us will win. Obviously that theory will be shot down massively when they reveal their winners but gotta hang on to the hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wouldn’t be bothered with this faff! Then again I held out hope I would get Glastonbury tickets and Liverpool would win the league and look at me now ?

ItsBadForYa Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Everything crossed for everyone! If we're still fighting for a chance at this stage, we deserve something! I have one more friend who is anxious to go, and I'm trying everything for him. BTW, how does Oxfam camping work? Do we bring our own tents?

Beccaloid Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Keep an eye on EE on twitter today. Possible competition coming up? "The day has started and so have we ☺ Just give us a shout if we can help at all. We’re here until 11pm. The team today includes Olivia, who loves going to music festivals. She’s going to Glasto this year ⛺️ Any good festival tips for Olivia?" Edited May 14, 2019 by Beccaloid Text 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franathy Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Guys if you really want to go to Glastonbury Oxfam volunteering is your best option to go. I could be wrong but I would say a resale is really unlikely at this stage. Competitions as back up but don't pin your hopes on them they will have thousands of entries (except maybe the Guardian one ?). Just thought I'd mention it as today is the last day Oxfam stewards can cancel, so may be your last chance. Good luck everyone! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayleigh89 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I stalked the resale page in 2017 and now i am back. ?♀️ i have leave from work this week. So hoping for a miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're into unknown territory again and Groundhog 2017. Final ticket cancellation/refund day +11.....in recent history the maximum interval has been 10 days. If it doesn't happen very very soon then take solace..... only 20 weeks until the next ticket sales....2020 here we come! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
