Not sure if the same will happen this year, but I'm going to keep trying on and off throughout the day, just in case!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just repeating what happened to me in the first 'resale': if you are able to click proceed but it is not allocating you a spot keep trying to click proceed/reserve (do not refresh or close/go back). I kept refreshing and managed to bag a spot 45 mins + after they all initially went. Thank you for the tip! You got me my place by default, so grateful!!

I recommend NOT refreshing once the proceed button shows. If you refresh, it'll disappear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festival Sounds Podcast Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Well done to those of you who got a place. If you’ve not done Oxfam before, you’ll love it. Plan to be on site from the Monday if you can. The Monday and Tuesday nights are a lot of fun. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. You can wander around most places (reasonably) free from crowds... ...except where they are still building it. There's an impressive level of 'last minute planning' that can be witnessed ! And a few of the food vendors may be open... if they are not still building their stalls.

ThatCubT Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 On of my best Glastonbury memories is watching the Summer Equinox on the Tuesday evening up by the Glastonbury sign. There's something special about being in a field overlooking the site, surrounded by fellow volunteers, all watching the sun set on the horizon. Was special!

On the Monday the Oxfield opens to stewards at 10am, but you cant get wristbanded til about 1/1.30 etc - and cant access the main site til youre wristbanded. But after that, you can go have a wander round, and the staff bars are well worth a nose around. Expect maybe one in ten or one in fifteen food stalls open on the monday, but many more on the tuesday - perhaps one in five? i always like to wander the camping fields and see the spots i've camped in previous years - the site feels bigger without a hundred thousand tents, but somehow/paradoxically the camping fields always feel much smaller than i remember them 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the office thought I'd been electrocuted with the reaction I had 😂 Reading these comments has proper got me excited though, really looking forward to it now 🤩 Not sure I'll get down on the Monday as travelling from Newcastle and don't have that much annual leave to spare after a couple other holidays this year so trying to save where I can.

I would say the earlier the better on Tuesday as you will get some traffic with the campervan fields opening and the car parks opening that evening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve previously booked a £35 Premier Inn in Bristol on the Sunday night and worked from the room with an early start and finish. Had a flexible employer tbf. Meant I was on site mid-afternoon in time to get briefings out of the way asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
