Mate, my nephew and I both got in the week before the festival. My first oxfam gig and his first Glasto. It’s not over by a long way. That weekend before the festival there were no happier people in the country than the two of us. I still had my leave booked. Never give up hope. Edit: because of efests I was aware of the opportunity. That’s why I’m so active on the thread. I want to get as many efesters who missed out through those gates 💪🏽 Edited March 29, 2022 by March Hare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I had a look through old threads and that gave lots of faith. Hoping/trying for both me and my boyfriend to get a spot (potentially ambitious but others seemed to have secured multiple in the past), I'm happy to get one very last minute but he would need to know a bit further in advance for work... so hoping to get them as soon as we can but remaining confident it'll be possible for awhile yet!

philipsteak Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yeah, I think pretty much every festival I seem to meet someone who got their place last minute. There's always a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj95 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Trying to secure a volunteering spot for my friend + bf who are the only ones out of our group who missed out on tickets 🤞 Looks like Oxfam is their best shout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely but also some bar work available I think with Refresh West https://refreshwest.eventmaster.jobs/events/dQxamMUn7aLdqgC0B41g 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxfam is certainly the most visible with largest number of positions and a publicly available application system - but I imagine that most of the places that recruit publicly will have a certain number of drop-outs after the resale. So it may be worth checking Festaff, Shelter, etc as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nib Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Hey guys - I have a Stewarding place to return (as I was lucky enough to get a ticket in the resale and would personally rather do that this time around). Does anyone know if there's a way I could transfer it to someone in this thread instead of just sending it straight back to the pot? I'm guessing not but thought worth asking the q... This website has helped me out so much over the last few years that it would be great to give back a tiny bit!

(though I doubt they'll say yes!) I asked them some things earlier and they were helpful and quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other groups that recruit stewards may have different policies/procedures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my oxfam place in 2019 just a few days before the festival. Definitely get a page monitor set up.. I had alerts going to my phone and no matter where I was when I got pinged I quickly got onto the form and tried to get a place.. just missed out a couple of times but then hit lucky. Good luck!

Hi @Pipine can you remember what software you used to get the notifications to your mobile? I'm using Distill but it means I have to be at my desk at the time. TIA.
