Eeeek can't quite believe it, but this was me! &nbsp🤩 I'd been lurking on every forum and reddit thread for months scouting last min competitions and volunteering opportunities, after we were unsuccessful in November sales and April resales.

 

The rollercoaster was real - the disappointment hearing you're the reserve caller, then some selfish joy when line 1 gets the answer wrong, to pure panic realising you could also fumble it up, to pure JOY!

 

It ain't over til it's over - see you on the farm! (I promise not to lurk so much and actually contribute a bit now 😅)

I was also the reserve caller in 2016 when I won through bbc radio 1. The guilt and joy is something else. Huge congratulations I so enjoyed hearing you win this morning!!

My friend had an email yesterday saying she’d won a pair of wellies - not quite tickets but at least she’ll be ready for 2027 🤞😋

I won a few tea caddies from comps over the years and the heart drop when you see the you’ve won email for it not to be tickets!

Any more BBC radio competitions running do we know?

In previous years we've had Radio 1, Radio 1xtra, Radio 2, BBC 6 Music and BBC Asian Network run comps. 
Some years it's been as close to a week before the festival. Radio 1 did theirs earlier in the week. I've checked the schedules for all those stations but can't seem to find any info on competitions, although there wasn't anything in the schedules about the Radio 1 comp when I checked last week so perhaps they're keeping them more on the DL. 
If you check out the presenters socials they sometimes share about competitions running.

Did you manage to get a pack with this year's competition on? I can try to get you one tomorrow as a few of our local supermarkets have had them, though you'll need to get the entry in before midnight!

Only just seen this but thanks for the offer. Managed to get an Oxfam Steward place yesterday so will be on the farm!

Thanks. Thought I’d missed the 6 Music one so good to know it’s not done yet.

Only one done so far is the bbc radio 1 one. When I won in 2016 it was the week of the festival (literally a few days before gates opened) so don’t loose hope yet 🙂

So the Brothers comp has been announced, I think that's all the competitions done. Chances of getting on the farm now are pretty much zero with volunteering places having little if nothing left.

In 2023 I found out 2 weeks before I was heading to the farm after winning on bbc Asian networks. Do not give up! ❤️

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but, Radio 1xtra is running a competition on Monday during the breakfast show.  Listen out for a Doechii track. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5FwQySwdSDv4m28yqyYl6SC/1xtra-at-glastonbury

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
