brettredmayne Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I have to get in early so my 2 weeks in June is booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I booked mine a week or so ago ... I cant book anything without having the request accepted ... pointless paying if they then say no ... which brings me on to the point .. I must look to see its been accepted ... not many will have booked for next year so thats why my request goes in early ... and I think by mistake there might be a few more going next year ... today I accidentally told someone its going to be very hard when tickets go on sale next year ... oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastynh Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I had no choice as the lad I work with was booking tickets for the euro's. Can only have one of us off at the same time. Hes not going to an euro matches while Glastonbury is on now even if he wanted to. Whether I am at Glastonbury or not is another matter ?♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Don't need to at the moment. I'll be taking the time off at end of June anyway. I'll either be attending or on the other side of the world with no access to the BBC and social media..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyPorter Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Booked mine in May! Had no choice as I know others always go for that period and a few are whispering about trying for G despite me telling them it’s the worst and not worth their time.

mashedonmud Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I shall spread the word about the awfulness of pilton in June. The broken bodies, the torrential rain, the large scale theft, the 10 hour traffic jam to enter, the 13 hour traffic jam to leave, the........

parsonjack Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Booked it last week....my line manager doesn't give a bugger as she's retiring in April ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Low Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Jealous of everyone being able to book leave for next year already. Leave is just one of many many things that must align in order to be lucky enough to attend Glastonbury. There's a girl who went this year from my team and talk of another woman trying next year. I was shitting myself last year thinking they might not let us both off. Now this. I'm really worried. And I can't book leave until January/February either. My place is a joke.

Pear_Cider Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 All of my leave for next year - including Glastonbury - was booked and approved a couple of months ago. Can't take any chances! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august1 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 in the very lucky position to manage my own workload so I only need to be in when I've booked something in myself. Other than that time off is fine, I have all the football/gig/festival fixtures in my calendar and work around them. Was very strange to begin with, I used to asked my manager 'Would it be possible to be off on *insert date*?', the answer would be 'I duno can you? What have you got on those dates?'

Digi Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Currently have booked a week in May for Lost Evenings 4 in Berlin 10 days in June for Glastonbury but I might try and turn this in to a fortnight A week in July for Kendal We are a small team and can only have 1 off at a time but... urm... I'm the boss and do the roster! ? Besides, none of the others go and know I would just be a moody cow if I was at work and don't have tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddyclark Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Booked mine a week ago. Will work if no ticket. Though fingers crossed for the Water Aid draw tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 My diary’s free for Glastonbury! Decided I’ll be there no matter what, maybe 2020 will be the year I work at the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penrhos Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Booked and signed off... Pointed out Euro's and 2020 Olympics clashed so had no issues getting dates signed off (normally have to wait until same holiday year), Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semmtexx Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Booked mine as people at work are talking about going, in fact someone who has never gone actually booked before me! Thought best not risk it though it does feel like I am angering the ticket gods. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm torn. This is both generous and foolhardy. I'm assuming you'll be adding them whilst giving them 'the talk' detailing swamps, terrible food, poor sound quality, boredom in the evening, bad vibes and when then can drop out till - yes?

pie_and_a_pint Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'm a contractor / freelancer now. The last two weeks of June are blocked out with absolutely, positively NO exceptions, in perpetuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
