30 seconds, but keep trying for a lot longer in case there are failed transactions. 😊

Has anyone found out if they’ve been given pre festival shifts for Oxfam yet? 

[Lucy92]

Did we find out whether helpers will be useful? I’m happy to help if so

I can log in to 2 devices and there isn't any issues so I think that part of it is fine, but then if lucky enough to get a place payment needs to be made, will there be an issue if payment is made on a card not matching the applicants details?  I'd love as much help as possible but not sure people would be willing to make payments for someone they don't know, or me having to pass on card details on to strangers.

will it be a specific time?

 

i tried last time but it all sold out in, literally, one second...

It'll be pretty much instant I'd have thought but like Stone circle says, keep trying

this is a bit strange really... there's usually loads of space in that car park, especially on the hill!

Yeah I thought that.. 

[Johnnyseven]

Maybe it's something to do with the squeeze on volunteers other organisations have had. Oxfam may have negotiated to keep more of theirs but the trade off is less parking availability. Either that or loads more volunteers have booked parking this year.

Tbh I doubt it's field capacity as such, more about the number of passes Oxfam have requested / been allocated which will be a number that needs to be agreed with the festival and presumably has a deadline for changes. And possibly on the Oxfam side the admin of receiving the physical passes and getting them redistributed in a timely fashion.

They're just posted on Facebook asking for people to help with sorting routing passes on the 12th

I paid for a friend's place on my own credit card when I helped him get an Oxfam place a few years ago
