Entered and turned the radio off in a huff as soon as I realised I hadn't won haha

The person that answered the phone didn't even sound surprised, what the fuck!? (Although as stated above, I only listened for about 5 seconds before the huff)

I was sulking for the majority of my journey into work! It did transpire that the winner was on the bus on their way into work, which explains the subdued reaction.

Anyone a dab hand with a whisk?

Festaff have opened for volunteers, not a bad gig , and you have to do bestival as well , what a nightmare, two festivals for free !

Not free, they (unlike nearly everyone else) charge you.

[SophusBeuford]

Festaff aren't taking applications from anyone who's new to working with them until 1st April for glasto

The way I read it , they take a deposit (£250) which is the cost of a ticket anyway, and you get that back when you have done the second festival with them , the example was bestival . But some one else has said they are not taking glasto applications until April anyway 

Take a look at the FAQs page on their site - Festaff also charge people an "Administration fee" of £15 per festival - so it'll be £30 total if they're requiring you to do a second event with them.

Personally, that fee would be be enough for me to refuse to work with them as it's definitely not standard in the rest of the industry. It may not bother others, but it's something people do need to be aware of when they're considering options.

they charge people to work in their offices too (or at least, they did).

I saw that Block 9 are recruiting a Managing Director if anybody has the cv and desire. Bit of an extreme way to only possibly blag a ticket mind.

When do we think the re sale dates will be announced? And has anyone on here had luck with it before ? I would imagine it will be as hard as the original sale 20000 ticks on average I heard ?

I got resale in 2010, someone else got me one in 2011 plus I got one for someone else in 2017. There's anecdotal talk that it's easier than the main sale but I'm not convinced, I'd say about the same.

It may be even harded these days with people being well organised. Our large group all managed to get tickets in the main sale but two of our group couldn't try then due to a problem with registration. We'll now all be trying for them in the resale. So good for them but not good for people trying on their own.

I got one in 2013 on 3G on a phone but 2017 10 of us trying for one person and no luck. I think it’s just luck of the draw as with the main sale 

[Ozanne]

Hey gang, been away for a little bit. How’s everyone doing, nervous about resale day yet!?

[andyb66]

Afternoon all. I managed to nab Foals tickets yesterday with minimal fuss so I’m hoping those nice people at seetickets will be as kind when resale day arrives.

I’ll actually have a small wager they won’t be but we live in hope!

Ditto. If I don't get Glasto tickets I know for a fact I want Lost Village tickets, but it's limbo until then with holiday etc.

Mine too, I don’t want to commit to anything else until I know for sure.

[Crazyfool01]

im still trying to make a decision about weather to help a friend of a friend who I think enjoys it but moans quite a bit ....or I offer my services  to some on this thread ... its 50 / 50 at the moment 

[Ozanne]

Tough call, I’d wait and see how your friend is feeling about it nearer the time then go from there.

 

How do people think the best way of going out resale day should be for our Google docs sheet?

[UEF]

As predicted, much interest has died off in our group. Not quite so keen as we were in October, eh?

[Jim fitch]

Not from me I’m obsessed with getting a ticket , I’m not surre I will cope if I fail !!?

 

[BigChief]

Still keen here or do you mean your friends group?

Im just trying to stay out this thread a bit more, so if I don’t get tickets, the pain hopefully isn’t as bad as last time ?

Do you mean your pals or people here? - One of my friends who got tickets this year (on my credit card - don't even ask..) said she might go Leeds instead.. FFS!!!!

I obsessively read this thread every day ? signed up to volunteer too and have potentially asked everyone i know with a basic understand of computers to try for me in April.
