scorp Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Pic snapped at the tor on Sat night. Shows part of the fest site. The night was quite dark but my camera made it look more like daylight/dusk. The Other Stage was visible - more so on someone's 30x zoom video camera - and the Chemical Brothers could be heard clearly. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinaw Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Big Durbs that sounds like you had a brilliant time - how did you manage that level of blagging? Good on you and I’m so glad it was better than any expectations still working my notice in my current job - three weeks to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberry Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I decided on Friday night “fuck it, I’m going down tomorrow” and was very lucky to secure (legitimate) entry to the festival on Sunday. Not much of a Twix story but I felt very happy and very, very lucky to be there. Fingers crossed we all get lucky in October! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the person felt sorry for the pregnant lady on her own with a toddler! So only went on the Sunday but better than nothing and felt very glad, and very lucky, to be there. Sounds like you had an amazing time @Big durbs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 4 weeks out I managed to get jobs working in a restaurant in the interstage area for myself and my wife. We got there Wednesday night and had a great night out with my family, who were there as punters. Then worked Thursday and had two staff AWOL for shift, they took the wristband and forfeited their tickets. As a result the manager asked my wife to call her friend, who taxied from Bristol to the festival to join us on Thursday evening and stay in our tent with us. Long story short, the work was tough, hot and overall too long. I wouldn't be in a rush to do that job at the festival again, but faced with the choice of that or not going, I'd be signing on the dotted line again. We had two nights where we went until sunrise and the others were 3-4am jobs. Highlight was our Saturday night, where we used the interstage cut through to do a Killers / Chems double header. We walked into the other front of stage to fireworks and Superstar Dj, which made us feel like rockstars. Then watched Fatboy at Arcadia from the viewing platform of the tow and hitch. Between waking up on Wednesday (I had to work before travelling later in the day) and bed on Monday was 133 hours. I slept for just 16 hours in that time, worked 8 at my real job and 32 at the festival, travelled home for 7 and up for 2. So that's 68 hours of parting time... I'm a broken man, but it was so worth it. Edited July 3, 2019 by blutarsky 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipine Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 I got a last min stewarding job with Oxfam on the friday before the festival.. couldn't recommend it more highly, it made my festival.. the Oxfam camp is fantastic, the people are lovely, I lucked out with the shift pattern and got 2 shifts out of the way before friday and i was just so grateful to be there that it made everything seem even more amazing than usual. I really enjoyed being part of the festival and giving something back. The overnight shift did wipe me out, I couldn't sleep more than 2 hours after it as it was so hot in my tent so that took my energy levels down a bit but I still had an amazing time. probably my favourite year out of the 15 I've been to.

blutarsky Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Big durbs said: lobster !!! wow , sounds like a very different catering , i have Nachos lol Yeah, we did a seafood platter with lobster, crevettes, prawns and smoked salmon for £60. We were also doing rib-eye steaks for £25. We also had glass bottles of wine and champagne. Exclusive... and not the festival vibe I was feeling. Not the sort of food I’d be buying at a festival...! But I did get to eat a lot of it as I was working in the kitchen, so ate virtually for free all weekend. However, the thing I enjoyed eating most was cheesy chips at Cineramageddon!!!

Do you know if the figure includes stewards/workers though or is it just punters? Also wondering if they’ll need to expand the site somehow to fit this many people in? ?

Gnomicide Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 This came out a bit ago and it was confirmed the 7000 additional would all be coach package tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 hopefully that will absorb any extras trying for the 50th ... and make it no harder for tday ... should I would hope for the coachies make things easier though ... 7000 is a decent number , alas I won't be a coach traveller ... but helping others that will be should free them up to help us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
