I only came over when I saw the foaming at the mouth 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The micro venues are the best anyway Mandidextrous scrapyard on the Thursday, we were gonna go but then saw they'd put "scrapyard full" on the led screens so decided not to bother. The rest of the weekend late at night there was a one way system round that specific bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on a vehicle gate (D I think) pretty busy but everyone I'm scanning in is a delivery driver, worker or security. A good proportion of who seemed to just be permanently pissed off, like it was me who had come up with this whole scanning in and out caper. Especially people coming in and out multiple times, you would think they would understand I have a job to do and I'm gonna do it. At least on a pedestrian gate the people coming in are happy and want to be there, must be a much more pleasant experience. I prefer pedestrian gates at Glasto but if you are lucky you can end up on a quiet vehicle gate with a spare chair and a bit of shade. Both have their place. I like the variety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Card details. It's pretty much going to be a case of first people to put down confirmed deposit payments get the places. So you may want to make sure your phone is at hand and ready to authenticate.

Will I need a valid photo of myself (for the application stage) or do Oxfam just request this at a later stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Telephone Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Re Oxfam Applications: I paid for my place back in Feb using Apple Pay, rather than debit card. Saved a few vital seconds, I reckon, compared to having to authenticate card payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj95 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Hoping they announce exactly when the Glasto slots will be available soon. I have meetings for most of the morning so need to be stealthy about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JezzaBelle Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) Anyone else already page refreshing?! I'd like to hope that it's an early one.

stuie Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Good luck to anyone trying at 11am. - Make sure you are logged in before that time. - Have a couple of different payment methods to hand just in case, if you can - Use Apple Pay if possible I look forward to hearing success stories here from 11:01 and will see you in the field! 🤞🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
