All excellent advice, but just to add to that - if the website is taking ages - even literal minutes (it did last year, but didn't this year in priority) - it's far better to wait for it to finish rather than stopping and trying again.

Definitely - the website will be slow, I'd only refresh / start again if I got an error message.

Cheers for the info will have to hope I get lucky and time it right

Is everyone going for one device or multiple?

[northernringo]

Good luck all!

Running low on annual leave for 2020 due to a big summer trip so not going to try for volunteering, just resale (don't fancy 'working' the last few days I have of annual leave)

Good lucky everyone! Got my place on priority this year but I've been where you are for the last three and always managed to make it happen. Keep the faith!

This is all a bit nerve wracking!

It not like ticket day... there is no holding page so multiple devices are bit pointless.

[Pipine]

Anyone know how long it keeps you logged in for?

someone just posted on the Oxfam facebook page

"not joining the Glastonbury bun fight this year as I’m not keen on the lineup"

I know this may have been covered in the last 32 pages but it will probably take me past 11:30 to find it!

Could anyone who's been before advise on the sort of shifts you're expected to complete? I know friends who've done 3 6-8 hour shifts spread out from say Wednesday to Monday at others, would this be similiar or would you be working at least some point every day?

It has always been 3 8 hour shifts spread over three days of the festival

Indicative - as discussed above, your shifts may be completely unrelated to this, but you should bank on doing one morning, one evening and one overnight at some point Wed to Sun

[basicminds]

wheres the 1130 intel from?

Also how are people approaching this?  I am logged in and refreshing or log in at 1130?  I presume it will just be a big bundle like all other glasto ticket options but I like to pretend to have a plan

Well my friends who have done it before said these are the shifts that always get given out... they had A last year.  So its a very good guide... if its not broke they wont fix it.
