My guess - and it is just a guess - is that the correlation won't be quite as directly visible - Live Chat probably means someone in Supporter Relations, who'll need to make a note on your record which then gets passed to the Festivals Team to action.

I think this is the case if you email. But following the live chat just then I got an email within few minutes acknowledging refund and profile shows cancelled.

oh god I'm signing in and out but not showing?!

Fair enough - Wasn't sure whether the Live Chat would direct you to someone able to make that change or not.

Hard Refresh your Web Browser - Hold Down Ctrl and Press F5. This will force load a completely clean copy of the page.

All the others festivals are showing ye? Clear cookies? I literally don’t know sorry! But I can see them  😟 try live chat?

[stuie]

Not showing for me either! 

Must have gone. 

[incident]

Appears to have gone now anyway.

[abiwish]

damn. Thanks so much though everyone, what a shame.

@incident and @mikegday did they pop up from already being in the portal? or did you have to log (out/)in to see them? worried if i stick to just refreshing they won't show up again...

You don't need to log in/out to see changes.. Just refresh.

From what I understand there isn’t always a clear time link between a cancelled spot and it appearing again on the site. They have lots of manual processes at the back office and sometimes they bunch up a load of places and then release dozens at the same time

can’t recall what I done so don’t want to say wrong info!! Maybe you could go to your profile page and back to add a festival page, instead each time

I had this a few years ago when I stupidly didn't get my Shambala place in priority, spent about 3 weeks refreshing periodically while at work and finally got one a few weeks before the festival. Every refresh will show the current available list as it is at that moment.

I suspect it'll get a bit easier to spot changes once Campaigner and Shop applications close (I guess in a week or two?), as the "default" status for Glastonbury will show as sold out so can just wait for that to change.

Okay glad to hear. Don't know why it was showing for some and not me then... 

But I was thinking the same thing re. campaigner and shop closing, so fingers crossed. Just hoping to catch a spot this week given it might be the most likely time after resale... but know they'll pop up throughout

Agree, it’s not all run out of a system. It needs people to action at each step. This is what I’ve picked up chatting to more experiences supervisors who mix with the full time Oxfam staff

Cancellation deadline 09/05 too might be a flurry

ah good to know, thanks

[March Hare]

Sometimes when you refresh it looks like there is a place but when you click the drop down it isn’t there. Can give false hope. Just the way the website displays

[incident]

It's already been mentioned, but I would remain confident for a good while yet - looking back at the thread from last time, people were still getting places up until June 21st (the friday before gates opened).
