Until the next monitor notification at least? I had the notification at 2 and went straight on. This would be a lot easier with an office or work from home job! No, there's been a couple more since then, but as @Havors can attest, they're gone again in the blink of an eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amani Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 For "dead" time on shifts, learn a new skill! Juggling is popular, small musical instrument like a ukulele, try to team up with someone to speak in a second language only for half hour (this is actually quite hard to do!). There's all sorts going on - shift is as dead or as interesting as you want to make it. I quite like the down time if it is dry and there is shade, conserve my head space for later......

Some people have to fill their time, some people are good at waiting and can happily do a whole lot of nothing. I'm very, very much in the latter of that 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey01 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Do you reckon that's it now? Or will they still pop up sporadically? Went to the shop and was going to check when I got back but then read this thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNettle97 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Does it help to have a couple of people trying from one account i.e. one via desktop and one via app? Or would you advise against? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amani Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Fab to see so much success today - well done all those that made it and the rest will get there, keep checking. Efests crew take over the Oxfield! Monday night meet up will be nearly as big as the Weds one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffpuffin Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 So my advice would be if you do get through to the page but it says sold out or unavailable keep the page open and keep hitting proceed. That’s how I eventually got mine after about two hours of doing this on and off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to go out at 2pm to see my Mum so missed the load that went back on sale then 😞. Wasn't sure if this was the best strategy or to start with fresh page and f5 and check the dropdown for Glasto to appear, as it worked for you i'll keep going.

I have got an application in with Event Bars so hopefully that pans out if not Oxfam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyseven Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 2 hours ago, Havors said: got a monitor on 1 second interval, nothing has changed. What app are you using for that? I've got Web Alert running but the shortest time it has is 1 minute and you have to pay for that. I tried to use Distill and I can't work out how to use it, when I try to add the Oxfam webpage it just says NO DATASOURCES ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS WEBSITE and won't set it up. I'm crap at IT stuff.

scubamoley Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 After having no luck for myself or any of my group for the first time since 2010 in any of the ticket sales, I managed to land an Oxfam spot this morning. I can’t quite believe it! 😄 first time volunteering and first time going solo! 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red1422 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 For the lucky people that got through for oxfam today. Do we have to complete the whole application like reference etc by tomorrow or just the Glastonbury part. Also all the training sessions seem to be post festival. Can anyone help thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmaltby1001 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Just found out that the two people I recommended for litter picking have been offered a volunteer spot today! Presume it's because some people are dropping out, maybe because of resale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
