Avalon_Fields Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Yes!! One of our gang are in for Oxfam at Glastonbury, after signing up for Shindig. It's particularly good as a number of us are camped close by! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakdown Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 If anyone's still after an Oxfam slot and isn't able to get online tomorrow morning, I'd be happy to help! Would rather a trustworthy/longtime poster on here though given the deposit. Will be sat at my desk all morning anyhow so gies a shout! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitchyMitch Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Hi all, to those who have volunteered with Oxfam in the past, do you know if you get sent a ticket sometime before? If not, how to you “prove” that you have got a volunteering place? First time going solo this year, but very reassured but the number of others who are. Also, despite the frustration that others are feeling, I’m very happy with the line up as I don’t think I’ll feel any great pain if I miss any acts. See you in June!

Hi @TitchyMitch You won't get a ticket but you'll get a confirmation email and you need to turn up with your photo ID. No photo ID literally means no festival and there are no exceptions. If you've registered a car or camper you'll get a vehicle routing pass to stick in your window, sent by post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've registered a car or camper you'll get a vehicle routing pass to stick in your window, sent by post. you have to send a photo before hand, which I assume they check when giving your wristband and lanyard out - both needed to get into the oxfam field and festival your own photo id just gets you initially into the Oxfam field - not the festival (the oxfam field is outside the glasto wall, but secure in its own right), to pick up your oxfam photo lanyard ....you also need to show your confirmation email (I had to!?!) - this was a bit of pain because I could not get a good signal on my phone (3 mobile) at the entrance. Ideally print the email off before going Edited May 1 by bob323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your photo is already uploaded to your profile and will be on your ID lanyard which you’ll get given at registration if glasto is your first Oxfam festival of the year.

hallamer Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I know this is complete guess work but what have previous years been like with the Glastonbury oxfam “resale”? Is it a gone in 60 seconds sort of thing usually? The shindig dates just didn’t add up for me otherwise I would’ve been all over that to secure this year and next in one go!

Gone as fast as the system can handle it. Way less than 60 seconds for the initial burst, but with the potential for places to pop back up after if/as payments fail.

I just so happened to be passing when skindred when they're on. I was "forced" to watch them for 20min or so because of the huge crush at the back, one of the more enjoyable forced crushes Edited May 1 by bob323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiepaul Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Thanks to the experienced hands for giving an overview of the entry process. I am really looking forward to volunteering, both at Glastonbury and Shindig. I've always wanted to volunteer to see the other side of the festivals, but my group had been lucky one way or another in the Glastonbury ticket sale for years, so the chance never comes up. I am really pleased to start on this journey now. Number 17 for me at Glastonbury and first one volunteering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 16 Glasto's you'll know your way around and if you get put in a good location it's really nice to be able to use the knowledge you've built up over the years to help others.
