There is always someone willing to take you into the festival in the back of a van/car/lorry/dodgy ticket/wristband for £50. Once you’re in, you’re in. Have done this many times. Getting in without a ticket is kinda part of the spirit of Glastonbury, it’s hard work and only for the brave but a wonderful feeling when the anxiety, excitement and uncertainty disappears and you’re finally through those gates sipping cider. Anyone know someone who wants to smuggle me in for £50 ???? Edited May 23, 2019 by AliceR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich@ Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I have snuck in 3 times now with mates a removable wristband £150. Once you are in you are in. If you hang around the Tesco's in Shepton mallet and look for vehicles with site passes and ask the qustion. I would think at least one in 10 would be tempted. If you have to wear long sleeves so be it but it's easier to get away with it are night or in a large crowd which is where I spend my time.

franathy Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Guys apparently Poo Crew are still looking for volunteers, email poocrew2@naturalevent.co.uk. You have to do 5 x 8 hour shifts which is quite harsh I think for volunteering, but if you're desperate to get in...

maelzoid Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 And I would add, being referred to as 'poo crew' wouldn't do much for my self-esteem either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb66 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 As much as i enjoyed my single foray into the wonderful world of Glastonbury (2016) and it will be talked about until hell freezes over i'm not entirely sure i could deal with poo clearing. I have to deal with enough of that at work let alone outside of office hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to Emily at length about this job a few weeks ago, I'm still waiting on confirmation but I have everything crossed. She wants a fair bit of hospitality experience I think but ahhh ?

maelzoid Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 KPing is dog hard work. You'd have no energy left to enjoy the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb66 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 i'm a very hospitable person.. but i'd probably just get mangled and wander off into the crowd..which wouldn't be ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripcurl85 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've been looking for two tickets for a couple of mates who were unsuccessful in both sales last year and in April. I've managed to get tickets in the secret resale before, I think in 2016. Given that its now 23 May, is the consensus that this thing isn't going to happen? I just wonder because obviously there was some page updating activity earlier this week but since then nothing seems to have been done to the pages.

Not that badly it would seem. I did apply to them a while ago but was put off when I found thit out. It was my understanding that anything over 24 hours-ish should be a paid position but I don't know if this is a hard and fast rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belle365 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 5 shifts is harsh. I was considering it as i had read their website as one 8 hour shift then a short shift on the wed and mon. I need to find someone to smuggle me in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are pursuing alternative ways now. Tickets will probably be sent out next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
