The system (quite rightly to avoid overbooking) may hold places which never complete.  Also, because of the way the payment system works, it's possible that people may accidentally book two spots (especially if they have multiple people trying for them).

These places tend to be dropped back onto the system pretty quickly as the office team resolves them during the morning.

well worth hanging on for a bit if you don't get a place bagged early on then!

Yep that happened in priority with Bearded Theory places. Full at 11:01, but then briefly available again at 11:10ish, and then again a couple times after that. With Glastonbury having 25 times more places available, have to assume there's the potential for the same to happen on a bigger scale.

Thought I'd left my F5 days behind me back in November, but alas, here we are

Having a ticket makes this a way less stressful experience, but I'd rather be there with Oxfam! Good luck everyone

I'm on there trying to get someone else in and it's stressing me out already 😁

I love it when first time volunteers get aboard, it reminds me of my own thrilled excitement at getting in 😄 its notably less exciting when you have priority and just slide straight in with no stress (but i'll not moan about that for a single second!)

I literally got the sold out message whilst my laptop still said 11:00 😬

[Festival Sounds Podcast]

That’s quick even by Oxfam usual standards. 

[thewomble]

I was able to select Glastonbury, tick the boxes but after clicking proceed it refreshed and said sold out 🥲

[Festival Sounds Podcast]

Don’t give up hope people. 2019 I got my place 7 days before the festival opened

Got a place for my wife 🤩
