tarw Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Just bagged a slot for Shambala! Should have my regular spot for Glastonbury when the GFEL website opens later but they’ve changed it this year to you just notify them your available and then they let you know 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdown Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I'm in! That was a nightmare though, kept hanging at the payment stage - just had a peek at my credit card app and it looks like it's taken out three lots of the deposit! Good thing I was only £180 this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I registered my interest on the website (that's still live) but don't recall an option to enter a ballot Nah they're just gonna raffle it out of all the registered interests I believe.

I think it's almost at the point where Glasto could sell out during the priority window now. To those that didn't get a place (don't stop trying just yet!) I'd suggest signing up for another festival and keep checking for Glasto, then worst case scenario, you'll have priority access next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the change this year is they only allowed numbers through to the “proceed” page that corresponded with the number of places they had. Last year the sold out message came at payment stage.

oakdown Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 If the four deposits I ended up paying all represent spaces, there's at least three going back in the pot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be getting close with the priority criteria being relaxed at the same time. It needs a balance. I’d always want new people to get a chance. But those with priority don’t do a runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben7amin_ Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Cost of living has priced a lot out of a festival, so volunteering is a good route for many as opposed to missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booker Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 That's me in. Got through relatively quickly but payment didn't go through the first two times, but did on the third shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they bunched up a load of cancelled places an released them as a block. Don't give up. Plus, @Leyrulion is running a brilliant spreadsheet of different volunteering opportunities that you can find further up the thread. Oxfam is one of a dozen routes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
