fuck it. oh well, maybe can get work again.

 

[pennimania]

I didn't want to go anyway

Neither did I.

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care etc.

 

[twentythreedom]

I fart in their general direction

 

[wiskey]

I've never failed before

 

[mysterygirl]

Actually it doesn't hurt as much when it's happened before.

I may explore other 'avenues'

we were wondering about Cornbury this year but didn't get around to it basically, might be an alternative?

 

[Shirl]

Neither did I.

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care etc.

I fucking do!

 

[pennimania]

Corn bury? I don't know that one.

 

[tbtommyb]

I fucking do!

there are *lots* of work opportunities and there's always the resale!

 

[Looby]

I've never failed before

Me either. So gutted. : (

Could try for WBC through my TU but i fucking hate bar work even if it is in a field.

 

[wiskey]

I will just have to work ... so it's not like I'm not going, it's just really frustrating that I never once got anywhere near.

The shifts are at least not too long.

It just seems to be luck of the draw. We didn't get a sniff at getting through apart from our one lucky shot.

 

[wiskey]

I appear to know SIX people who bought tickets ... which could make for an interesting festival.

I haven't managed it for years. Other people helped me.

Except in 2009 when they didn't sell out for some reason until about a few days before the festy.

I thought I would get through maybe this year because I'm in town, but no.

I wanted to use the uni library cos they have a whizz bang connection but they don't open till 9 on Sunday.
If I'd realised there would be that delay I might have managed it.

Cuntaprons.

there are *lots* of work opportunities and there's always the resale!

Not sure how many jobs there are for oldies though. I might try the resale but I'm not feeling lucky

 

[mysterygirl]

Corn bury? I don't know that one.

will let you know if we do it. Oxfordshire

 

[pennimania]

I think there will be quite a big resale because loads of people take a punt on it and then realise they can't afford it.

I think Oxfam welcome older people but you'd be lucky to get Glasto because I think they give priority to people who worked for them elsewhere first.

Which is fair enough.

 

[wiskey]

I might pay for Shambles instead of working it.

Yes they do, but they don't fill up with priority apps. Apps open in March.

There will be a big resale because only one of a group will have got a ticket etc so people will give them back. My mum got one in the resale a few years ago.

I don't think people care about age for workers? I saw loads of older people doing stewarding etc.

Most places don't care I don't think, you have experience of the festival etc.

anyway try for the resale

 

[Looby]

I know 2 team leaders for WBC and another mate checking for space on her team. My husband isn't as keen as me so maybe I should try and work.

Don't give up heart though, try for the resale!

 

[colacubes]

Someone was saying last night that the resale is actually a little better to get tickets on as often people are completely disheartened and don't bother!

and they've forgotten and spent the money ime.

 

[Part 2]

Got my confirmation email. Admin fee for returns has increase from £10 to £15

 

[sim667]

Two hundred and ten pounds before you've had a beer.

Wow.

£222 if you include the booking fee and p&p

The WBC seems to get allocated places pretty late though, my TU doesn't know if they'll get any glastonbury spaces for ages.

Also when is the resale usually?

 

[wiskey]

IME nobody allocates working places till about March, none of my crew does till April (or maybe May ... or early June )

Resale is in April??
