Good, it's the best way, presuming you're not too buzy during the event.

It's a different experience from "puntering"

What are you doing?

Might be buzy but have to time it properly 🙂

Have done Oxfam there since 2005 about 4 times (many more elsewhere - BD, Bearded, Boomtown, Shambala).

Brilliant

well done

There was one year when there was a large amount of some dodgy "legal high" on site. All the crew received text messages with a description and I think the info was eventually released to the punters. Several ended up in hospital.

Can't remember what year

[Pinhead]

She was a one off that year. In 2017 I did Boomtown and I loaded 4 ket casualties onto the medical wagon from the Woodland area in one shift!

So not trying for punter ticket first? Thought you were one of those "volunteering job as a fall-back" people like me.

[Pinhead]

Yeah I'll try but looks less likely to be successful this year (the pool has shrunk quite a bit..).

Sorry if this discussion is going on in another thread but is there any reason for the later ticket sale date?

Gives a bit more time for them to work out ticket prices with costs rising is the best guess

I suspect that the GFL bean counters are rather relieved that they have got some extra time to set ticket prices after the last few days.

That's JUST what I was thinking. Better this than going bankrupt I guess...!
