Hmmm no priority email for me. Got a Glasto ticket so no biggie. I’ll wait a week to see if it lands.

 

I should be good until 2028 on the 7 in 7 rule.

 

I'm assuming you didn't get the bog-standard non-priority "places open" email either, which went out later the same day?

 

In which case it's probably going to be an email issue, something that Oxfam seem to have quite often.

I got the standard email and I’ve only volunteered with them once. The Shambino year, whenever that was

Yeah I think they leave a proportion of places available for general availability?

 

They don't specifically hold any places back, they just don't all go in priority. As far as I'm aware they only did it the once which was the year before they tightened up the criteria for priority

Thats correct.  Neither email landed.  Nothing to bother the office with until the new year.  

 

Arrived at 7pm Wednesday this year because I was on the coach from the NW.  I would have been on site for 48+ hours if I had chosen the Oxfam route.  I missed the Monday/Tuesday soooooo much!

Yeah, the Mon/Tues is what I miss most about working Glastonbury. But I'm too old/tired/lazy* these days for that so just have to go for a Wednesday AM arrival. Hopefully this year you can aim for a bit earlier through the gates, not a fan of those evening coaches at all and I've heard a rumour that some people even arrive Thursday 🤯.

 

Would be pretty confident your priority status is absolutely fine. At this point I only qualify under the 7 in 7 rule, having skipped 2024 entirely, and still got this years email but there's been times in the past where the email didn't come through at all (for no obvious reason) and yet everything was still ok when I went to login on the day.

 

*delete as applicable, but really it's just lazy.
