For example I've always understood it that the T+C, JazzWorld, and Acoustic Stage bars tend to be a bit more choosy about who they let in and when, and so it helps if you can get a dedicated wristband from them which may be easier to do before gates open. But yeah for some of them (specifically Arcadia and the SE corner), any wristband that isn't General Public or Hospitality should usually be enough to get entry. I was working in a restaurant in hospitality in 2019, but the only wristband I was given was a standard hospitality one. Didn’t arrive on site until the Wednesday but the wristband was good enough to get me into Maceos and the Tow and Hitch. Entire work crew of 8-9 people got into T&H on Saturday night and watched FBS Eats Everything at Pangea from the viewing platform - peak busy time. Went back there Sunday night with other friends who had standard crew wristbands and they couldn’t get in, but I could as had picked up an Arcadia crew wristband the day before.

As always there's still a chance that things get added as specific requirements for this year are decided & agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what decisions have been taken by other volunteer places for 2022 ? Have anyone places been rolled over from 2020 to 2022 ? I'm guessing for Oxfam to get priority for 2022 you now need to do 2 events this summer ? (poor friend is gutted as he was ticketless and out of all his friends he was the only one wgho then got oxfam 2020 places and now he's ticketless and volunteer placeless again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - Oxfam haven't directly rolled over any places in either year as they don't usually know exactly how many they'll have. Instead, following the precedent set in previous years (most notably Boardmasters 2019 but also a few others prior to that) they treat a cancelled festival as completed for the purposes of priority calculation. The only things that are new is that they've tweaked (slightly relaxed) the priority criteria, and have said that anyone who qualifies for priority in 2021 will also get it in 2022 regardless of whether they meet the criteria then or not.

IMO it won’t. It would take a massive change as people tend not to want to do two festivals with Oxfam just to get to Glastonbury the next year. 2020 still had c.1000 non-priority places left and that was with the 50th year hype. Plus there’s always those who qualify for priority but go to Glasto as punters. Edited March 22, 2021 by March Hare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your mate will have to do two this year to get priority in 2022. Then next year, if he does Glasto and one other, he keeps priority for the next year. Gives you a fall back plan on T-day.

Leyrulion Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Do I play the long game, get two festivals in this year with a double header weekend potentially? Then two next year and with some I've done before I qualify for the 7 festivals and then it's guaranteed priority annually.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
