Skip997 Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Nothing. Won't do anything until early 2023. I will respond to the email asking if I want to work at the festival again. I'll answer yes and await my vehicle pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraMaze Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Nothing. I am going to get a camper van next year instead of going to the festival…and then I’ll have a sick camper ready to roll in 2024 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I help run an over spill crew camping (camper vans, motorhomes and tents) for the Greenfields. We're sited in the Dragon Field, more or less ideal location for me, right next to Unfairground and Shangri-La. Best bit is that I don't work during the event, once everyone is in my work is done.

gigpusher Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Started looking at dog sitters for next year. This year we just ended up with a youngster who we could trust to keep them alive. She charged £35 a night. Got a quote for a more professional service and they charge £65 a night! Christ I am reconsidering my life options right now. All you have to do with my dogs is feed them and only one of them will walk with a stranger!

rgill3 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 I've just read the resale spreadsheet thread to cover all of my options. Hopefully doesn't come to that but well done to whoever came up with that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went expensive and professional this year (though cheaper as it's cats) and I have to say it was worth it. No worries about having to apologies for pet related disaster, it's their job, they love animals and have seen it all. One of my cat has never been so pretty when I came back because I said he enjoyed being brushed so I think he got a daily and lengthy brush.

It worked very well 72 out of 73 tickets over the 2 resales and a few volunteers … it takes a bit of organising but for those who miss out … if it’s well organised there is still a very good chance of tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Booked pre festival accommodation but won’t do anything else in case I anger the ticket day gods. Given the success of this year and the publicity it got especially with Macca I expect carnage come October.

I do remember seeing you got yours through it! Thinking if I don't get through the first sale I'll ditch my mates and jump on the resale group - quite like the idea of a solo festival and making friends as I go.

Resalers from last year will be on hand to offer advice to the ticketless on how it all worked I’m sure … there’s 2 main sales first so let’s hope for initial success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 All I've done so far is stress about ticket day. I'd love to get the sale over and done with before October, at least we all know how we stand by that point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just considering jacking in my job and doing the same. It's considerably less stressful and the pay is better. I also will tell them to groom the dogs at that price!!
