We will be in touch shortly with more information, about what will happen in the lead up to the festival and whilst you're there. Talia & Lucy Shelter Events team Oh happy days - email retrieved from Spam vintagelaureate - you can remove me from resale spreadsheet but keep other members of group on. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also contacted Shelter & they confirmed my place! I had missed off the .uk from the end of my email... I was rushing typing on my phone so must have just clicked off it by accident. Feel relieved to have confirmation now as also not been able to concentrate on anything all day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some were held at at Shelter offices, some were held in Brixton. A right pita that was. 'specially if you'd done it all before. Nothing new at all (though I did learn that Gate C shuts silly early on Tuesday. Never knew that). Got there only to notice it was being filmed/livestreamed somewhere, so could surely have all been done from home somehow. Best part of a day off and £30 I could have saved. 1 hour ago, gooner1990 said: first big email was 24th April 2019 then the final info was sent out 17th June 2019. Everything seemed really late last year. Didn't we have to wait for March last time? Edited February 20, 2020 by MrZigster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charm x Please please please everyone remember that unless something changes this year, tickets are not barcoded / scanned in, and so can't be cancelled - which also means they don't get reissued if lost except under pretty exceptional circumstances. If you do need to get a ticket from person A to person B, then consider the options carefully. Edited February 20, 2020 by incident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's horrible @Kats1891 Wishing you luck to get to the farm. It seems that Shelter don't have a good technical set up. Their website let me apply the other day even though I wasn't on priority and they then though someone shared the link with me. They didn't - I just went to the public pages and applied. I get that they don't have a massive budget though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagelaureate Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 @Kats1891 so sorry to see that happen to you. I know this won't make it any easier (I'd definitely email them and ask for some kind of priority should any spaces become available) but if you want to join the resale spreadsheet there is space in a few groups to boost your numbers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kats1891 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Thanks all and to those who didn't get the email as me enjoy it I went last year with Oxfam so I can say I have done it once in my life if I am not successful this year or any other times Hopefully they will come back to me with good news I doubt it though! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4519dennis Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hope you get there @Kats1891 - anyone that has organised themselves to go the volunteering route deserves to get in. I hope that Shelter have you at the top of the priority list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Shit, shit, shit - possibly literally as I may only have that instead of bar work! Shelter have emailed me to say I wasn't registered! I have emailed back to say I was and forwarded the email they have previously sent me to prove it so fingers crossed it will be sorted! I think it's because some years ago, gmail was known as googlemail and I registered originally using myemailaddres@googlemail.com but today entered myemailaddress@gmail.com. I'm waiting to hear from them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to the two of you { and anyone else who had the same problem } I know people in the past who were on the Shelter/Avalon wait list and very near the event ' they were called up and offered places ' - came right out the blue # so don't give up # Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
