No bites yet as it's still offering shop only but if that changes I should get an instant alert. If anyone wants to join in let me know. How would I set one up for other festivals? Currently volunteering solo at Boomtown and a friend wants to join but stewarding places are sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need a mobile number for the alerts to be sent to. Send me a PM on here and I'll set it up. I won't take on any more people from here as i want to make sure it works well and (selfishly) give myself more chance of getting in first. Once I'm in I'll open it up some more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's payable by 16th so I would expect a few dropouts now and places to become available for those on the reserve list. What decision have you come to ? I'm down to waiting on PooCrew, WaterAid, and wether I can get an Oxfam place. I think I take whichever comes first if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on holiday at the moment so will sit down and weigh it all up next week. I think a spreadsheet and some sort of marking system may be involved! My head says Shelter but for some reason I'm favouring poo crew - I think it's because their communication seems so much friendlier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efcfanwirral Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 girlfriend rejected, nothing for me yet but would be refusing it anyway. Just got tiny hopes left for the resale now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jensescapade Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Sorry to those who have missed out on festaff. What a nightmare, stress on the day and then not getting a place. Hope something else comes your way x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirjonnyp Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 It seems odd to do rejection emails first - if you had interviewed someone for a job, you wouldn't inform the unsuccessful candidates first before letting the successful one know. Seems like an odd move on their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdusty surfer Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 If the festival goes ahead there will be LOADS of volunteer jobs available, especially at short notice. Trust me on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s on, unless I’m sick there’s no way I won’t be in those beautiful fields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_oxymoron Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Oh god, I haven't had a rejection yet but I reeeeeaaaallly don't want to get my hopes up that that means good news. I could just be far down the list of rejectees they've not told yet! Brutal waiting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_oxymoron Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Okay that didn't take long. Rejected my other application is still open though for the twinned event, have you guys cancelled your application for the sister event? It would have been a real stretch for me to do in terms of time off etc, but was something I was willing to do to get to Glasto. Now I don't want to annoy my boss by needing that time off if I don't need to, but on the flip side will this look badly on me for any future Festaff applications?
