What would your job at Glastonbury be?

[Punksnotdead]

I'd be happy to get a job vetting all ticket applications to make sure no Tory scum get in! 😁

I've thought this to and decided that credentials must be one of those things that's the way it is for a really obscure reason that you only realise once you start tinkering and it all falls apart.

I'm pretty sure it could be done, and coming up with a better structure wouldn't be all that difficult, but that the internal politics of the festival will act as a blocker. There's plenty of people within the wider festival organisation who have the ear of Emily and Nick, and who would likely be annoyed by any changes to what suits them. So quickly Emily and Nick will be hearing all about how the proposed changes will be unworkable and that the person who's making them it doesn't understand the issues.

And then nothing changes.

I've got a rough list of ways that I would try to get into the Festival if I ever needed to. Most of them take advantage of the above. One that I probably wouldn't try myself but I'm not certain doesn't already happen is to turn up at Blue Gate in an unusual vehicle without any credentials or documentation whatsoever, and just keep repeating the phrase "But Haggis said it'd be ok", while the gate staff try and fail to radio through to T&C production to confirm, and eventually give up and let you drive onto the site.

A good friend of mine turned up one year in an airstream motorhome (not caravan) with no way in. Roddy (Shangri-La) production spotted him and said we need that vehicle in our area, then went and obtained the relevant pass and wristband. My friend is now bar manager for Guerilla Bar.

I'd love the opportunity to work closely with the cutting edge creatives that put it all together.

Nope … you’d be put in charge of traffic direction 🙂 

[parsonjack]

I need to be one of those ones that get paid for it and sent free stuff.

Not one that gets paid nowt but people chase you for info and updates? 

[rascalpete]

I think I’d enjoy planning/preparing for the ticket sales and working with and managing See as a supplier… obviously for the insider knowledge also!

Love the Farm Leave no Trace Enforcement Officer. 

You'd better know I'll be hovering round your campsite with my clip board and high vis come Monday morning. 

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

I would be a compere in the Theatre or Circus tent, or a bin painter or getting involved in some other arty farty installations 🎨✨️

That sounds far too much like hard work.

[Jose Pose]

My job would be to go round with a flame thrower and torch the picnic blankets of the people who sneer when you dare to step near them.

Food stall quality control manager. 
 

Leading up to the festival all food stalls would have to produce a range from their menu and I would then deem it suitable or not.

Given the feedback from the council on hygiene for some this year I'm not actually sure I'd want to be the person eating some of the food before they've been inspected and are up to scratch.

I think the politics is exactly where it'll fall down. You'd take out paper area additions and it turns out that's how Jimmy was getting his daughter and her mates in for free. You say tough shit but it turns out Jimmy's the only one who knows how to turn on some obscure piece of vital equipment and suddenly there's no water on site. 

 

 

If I fail at Oxfam or Resale you'll be getting a DM around May asking for tips. 

 

[Funkyfairy!]

I’d like to work in joe rush’s barn and come up with the pyramid topper or the other installations, design and set about with the power tools making then come to life 

[Suprefan]

Audio, visual and logistics. Every stage gets killer sound and good production elements. I would make sure you could hear Wet Leg clearly even if you were on the hill at The Park stage.
