I got mine (a mates) bang on 6.45 via a Distil alert. I went up to Mrs Fay in bed at 6.58 and she got two of her work mates a space each.

It's the opposite for me, I got a friends this morning, because I was up to head into the office.

Have you got yours hardcoded into the app on your phone/browser (I couldn't do this for some reason, as I couldn't log in past the CAPTCHA, I just kept on getting 'invalid login') or are you just monitoring the page via extension and then getting pings to the Watchlist on your phone?

golden egg Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 You need distil set up with 5 x staggered 5 second intervals so it’s checking every second 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chestwig Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Could someone text my mobile if they see tickets come up again? I can't figure out all this technology and my Djstill is not working as well as others. 07779570430 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyren Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 hi all, been following this thread for a while, sadly missed out this morning but will keep checking 🤞🏻 does anyone know how strict Oxfam are about getting there on the Tuesday? I'm going to struggle getting the Tuesday off work but can get the other days no problem. Well done to everyone who got places this morning 💖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of allowances being made for undersubscribed festivals before but not Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oxfam wristbanding stops on Tuesday and the last mandatory briefing is Tuesday evening. It’s not the type of thing where if you get a place they will compromise. They know the place will get filled by a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to everyone who got places this morning 💖 Glasto isn’t like any of the other festivals in that all of the volunteers and other working crews have strict deadlines to be on site due to traffic management etc. the festival licensing dictates that we all need to be in place before the gates open.

Pipine Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 I didn’t get there til 4ish on Tuesday when I got a last min place in 2019.. guess it depends where you’re coming from. I think there’s a briefing around 6ish you have to be there for.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to struggle getting the Tuesday off work but can get the other days no problem. Well done to everyone who got places this morning 💖 We were in a car accident on our way over from Ireland on the Tuesday morning in 2019. Missed our ferry over, nightmare of a day but anyway we rang them (in bits worried that we would lose our places) explained what happened and they were so sound. We didn't arrive until 11pm that night so we missed the briefing but they were ok about it. That was a pretty exceptional circumstance though and they didn't doubt our story as we were so upset when we rang them. They are usually pretty strict about it.

March Hare Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 An alternative if you get the place is to register on the Monday evening, get briefed, leave site, work your regular job on Tuesday and return late Tuesday/early on Wednesday in time for the first shift. It would be a faff as you’d be in with general public parking when you return. But, if Tuesday arrival is the issue, Monday afternoon/evening arrival could be the solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
