I’ve been an utter failure with Oxfam as well, @StoneCircle has been so nice and messaging me when they are back on sale, work has been busy and I haven’t been able to check as quickly.

I need to move on and make other plans, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Funny how it gets in your bones! Take care and I hope you’re sorted.

General Lee Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I had 11 years in a row up until failing in 2017, and this year looks shot. 2020 will be even more people trying I imagine. Had a good run of luck before I suppose but maybe worse is that I know what I'll be missing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story shot NEVER give up Cheers buddy, I’m trying to keep the spirits up, it’s tough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgey Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Don't give up hope people, EE surely have a comp coming and Radio 1 or 2 will be doing something, plus there's still plenty of winners still to be announced for other comps.

I feel you, can’t even think how hard it will be in Oct, I need to stay positive, I know this year has gone, bar the faint hope of ticket comps, but I am genuinely concerned for future sales. It was so brutal in Oct and April. Yeah we know what we’re missing which is hard too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had people trying for me and... Nothing. ? I'm going down the volunteering route next year if October proves fruitless, although having done it before it is a tough way in. The night shift was a killer for me. It's so much harder knowing what I'm missing and not being able to do anything about it. I'm not even sure how people managed to get tickets this year. I was very prepared and didn't even get a sniff. ? #nogivinguptilglastoMonday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP_8 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 has anybody entered the Guardian competition for themselves but doesn't have a plus one? I'm looking to buddy up with somebody to share the spoils if we are fortunate enough. I'm the only person not with a ticket in my group so the spare could be used to double our chances? I'd rather somebody as desperate as i am go, rather than scratch around to take a friend on a freebie I've entered everyday apart from today (yet) so i'd want somebody who is also as committed to share a potential prize with - its only fair.

Levitz Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Also trying to up my karma quotient by trying to help fellow Liverpool supporters who don't have accommodation get cheapish places in Madrid.

andyb66 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Just been emailed some Glasto ‘deals’ of which one is a yurt just outside GateC with a standard entrance ticket. The drawback is the fact it’s a shade over 2k. So... if i go for it I’ll have to keep the cost quiet from my rather wonderful wife and I’d also run the risk of taking a huge bollocking at work for taking too much holiday. So on the back of this I could lose my job and if my wife found out the true cost she’d probably divorce me. Hhmmm. Tempted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
