Don't really want to just throw £300 in the pot... the link shared by @glasto-worker takes you to the same URL however if you click through the 'sign up' button, albeit with a 'checking for places' waiting page in between..... are we thinking it's legit?

they have that 'checking page' every year - if you have doubts pay by Paypal but if you hang about ' you will miss it  ' as space fills up fast.

that is a genuine certificate so that page is safe.

True, there are two cookies set from this site: donate.shelter.org.uk & england.shelter.org.uk
One third party cookie: paypalobjects.com

Can also confirm it's legit. This'll be my fourth time with them. Everything is as everything was (so to speak).

I just signed up and paid the £300 and seems to have confirmed me a place?! 

 

Hi, Xxxx Thank you for placing your deposit to volunteer with Shelter at Glastonbury 2019. We will be in touch shortly with more information, about what will happen in the lead up to the festival and whilst you're there. Talia Shelter Events team

I also have a £300 transaction now pending...does this mean I defiantly have a place?

[paddyclark]

Good Luck to those trying to get a place.. May be my route next year I think. 2015 was good fun.

I believe so, my paypal transaction has been completed.

[Halfspin]

On another note, has anyone found the legendary 'piano bar' on previous glastos?

I ‘registered’ and paid my £300 in one go this afternoon....was almost too easy!

I thank you sir, even though I don't understand the answer!

[glasto-worker]

its now going to wait list ' if you go though the normal entry point ' 

https://england.shelter.org.uk/support_us/events/volunteer_at_glastonbury_register/waiting_list

which may sound a long shot but I know two people in a previous year who did get offered places - they were certain they were stuffed but they did get placed.

I hope that everyone has fully read the terms and conditions before they applied.

[gooner1990]

@glasto-worker I did, but which ones are you specifically referring to?

I did read it, are there certain terms that people don’t abide to have you found in the past?

I just got through using your link on the previous page. That may be because I have previous cookies or something though. I dunno.

I only know the people who run it ' as they used to be in the WBC '

I know that its likely some will miss the training ' as they have done so in the past ' 

its likely some will mess about and they do risk getting tossed out ' as for sure that has happened '

---------

its a good deal - I would do it myself but I started with the WBC and I will remain with the WBC.

Although I will be dropping in on one of the Directors just to have a quick chat.

I will do the training and not muck about!

There is a chance that one or two Volunteers who stand out may even be offered a ' paid job ' in future years { From time to time Avalon may send a few to become Personal Licence Holders (APLH) - sure it wont happen every year but it may happen in some years }

Will see how well my first year goes....and let you know after the festival how I got on! :)

[gooner1990]

Does anyone who's done this previously know where the coach leaves from in Bristol and at roughly what time?

I live about an hour away by train from Bristol but would prefer to drive as I would need to get a cab to and from the station which will cost £20 approx each way (on top of the train fare)  and thought  perhaps I could leave my car nearby if possible (might be a bit of a struggle for 7 days!)

[Halfspin]

I googled carpool and there are lots of car share websites where lifts are available from most places.

You should be able to find something close to home.

Shelter bring you into the festival by coach from various points the nearest one to me is Bristol so I only need to get to there not Glastonbury.

[Halfspin]

Yes, you could find a lift from close to home to Bristol, just showing you an alternative way from trains and cabs.
