@abiwishI have a page tracker on it.  It's gone off a few times this week with other Beautiful Days and 2000 Trees but on Tuesday morning got an alert and managed to select Glastonbury and Steward and continue, but then it said 'Role not available' so I think I just missed one. 

If I get one I'll post on here the second after.

Ahh I have one too but it wasn't picking up on steward places going up because shop and campaign were still available, hopefully now campaign is gone it should work! I also had the same thing where a couple times I spotted a places but it didn't let me proceed for same reason, wasn't sure if they were glitches or a space disappearing really quickly. Fingers crossed for us!

Mine is detecting any changes on the page, so it's creating false alarms when other festivals status' change.   But I'm checking each alert anyway.

Yeh same here. Was detecting other festival changes but not actually glastonbury stewards which was annoying. But should be fine now that it says "shop only" which I presume will change when a steward place appears, so sure my checker will pick up on it and I won't have to do so much manual checking this week

I'm pretty certain that the deadline for Shop applications is tomorrow, and so Glastonbury should go to "Sold Out" at that point - which should make it even clearer.

Oh perfect, that would be great. Thanks for the info!

Also, think the deadline for losing your deposit is early May. Meaning there will be a bunch of cancellations around that time for the people who cant make it.

Thought I’d say as I haven’t seen them mentioned in the entire thread. The company that hires the car park stewards is called ctm (event traffic management) I worked with them at Glasto 2019, it’s payed work with a private campsite, proper showers and at least one day of the festival off. I’m not sure if they have any places left this year, but if anyone wanted to volunteer but hasn’t had any luck I thought I’d tell you all about their existence. It does require a £400 deposit though, and the shifts are 13 hours long, it can be brutal, but is still worth it.

Bearded is on Wed I think - just had to chase up my reference.

Congratulations! 🙂

Brilliant news. 

I must admit I'd not been checking at night at I thought the office staff would add them on during office hours! 

You live and learn!

Have a fab time.

 

[abiwish]

thanks so much @tarw @prestonmanc  @tj95 and @stuie. Can't wait to go back.

Got my fingers crossed for those of you still trying. I definitely recommend checking late at night if you can. I would have thought the same thing re. office hours but I was checking late anyway just in case, and the few times when I thought I saw a spot and then just missed out I think they were generally after office hours and often particularly late. Might also give you a leg-up over others using page monitors, if people aren't on their laptops at that time to get notifications!
