Glastonbury anyone?

[fluffymark]

Tickets for Glastonbury went on sale on Monday, and sold out very quickly. Eeep. So they only way in now is to work.

This morning in the post I got the forms to apply to work there in the recycling crew. Picking up litter and handing out bags and stuff. All very simple, maybe dull, but has its rewards, and can actually be very fun. Am trying to work out if I want to go or not - have decided I'm not going on my own, but if I can find companions to go with, then it would be fun. So is anyone wanting to work Glastonbury with me? I can photocopy the forms and send them to people. Probably need to decide quick, as I imagine the work places might shift fast now the main tickets have all gone. Ask if you want more details.

Oh, by the way it's Radiohead, REM, and Dave Gahan (from Depeche Mode) already say they're playing.

It's all very poo

apparently lots of people are buying Glasto tickets in bulk and will be selling them on on E-bay in order to make a quick profit. Although clever Glasto organisers are trying to identify these people and automatically cancel their tickets, because in the small print it says the tickets are not for sale.

Joe and I have two tickets so we will be going (but we won't be working) and we know some other people who will be going. Glasto may sell more tickets if they cancel a whole load of evil E-bay seller's tickets boo hiss.

Pennie V may be going, I'm not sure. Have you got her e-mail? If not drop me an e-mail and I'll send it to you.

Love

Penny

Yay! Chances are i'll be wanting to go now I know you two will be there. You heard any more rumours of bands playing there? *wonders*

preliminary yes (i know, again!)
but it depends on if it clashes with exams (which i don't know the dates of yet) or emma may ball... Gut feeling says it'll clash with both, somehow, magically.
grr.
want to go want to go....

Yay! It would be good if you could make it there!

I wouldn't think it clashes with either. Glasto is last weekend of June, and Emma ball is mid june, right? And exams should be before the may ball.

Should I photocopy and send the forms to you? Or possibly you can download them from the glasto website, not checked.

Yay yay yay yay yay! :)

I'm applying for the recycling job - done via a organisation called 'Network Recycling'. They should have forms to download in the jobs section of the official glastonbury website http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/
If you can't find them, i'll photocopy mine and send you a copy.

Deal is you work 24 hours, and for that you get free entry, protected + uncrowded camping area, hot water, hot showers, hot meals and coffee. Work is simple, and i'm aiming for the Pre-festival shift, which is even simpler, and means i don't miss anything of the actual festival itself.

Probably needs to be done quickly, as i guess other people are hunting down these work places now the main tickets have all gone.

*sigh*

I'd love to, but I don't think it's really a good idea to try and organise it from Russia and then run over for it and all that. Organising a real job is stressful enough!

Another lifetime maybe.

Re: *sigh*

[fluffymark]

Awwwwww. But it could be done - i can fill out the forms for you, and put your name and my address on, so all teh stuff would arrive here - only thing i'd need from you would be passport sized photos. I can even pay the deposit for you. If you'd like that? Am i being silly?

Re: *sigh*

The offer is very kind but it's more the hasstle of being in the country in enough time that is the issue. To do the pre-shift I would need to be there the week before Glasto...then add at least another week for me to actually get back home...and look, I need to leave Russia around the 14th of June! It's not going to happen unfortunately...I mean, I could try and cram everything in, but what with this young learners course adding time to my contract and my (hopefully) working in the summer, it'll be rather hellish.

I hope you manage to rope some other people in though and that you have a great time.

[fluffymark]

Don't think i know you do I? But you certainly sound interesting. Introduce yourself!

Re:

oh, I just stumbled across your journal through some random browsing.

(hmm, seems I'll have to make an introduction..)

Hiya! I'm An. I live in Oslo. I read and draw and go out and stuff!

[fluffymark]

Yay! It makes me happy that my LJ is interesting enough thatyou felt the need to stop here and read it. :)

Drawing is good. Looking at some of the things on you LJ, very good. Am very impressed. Never been to Oslo, but must put it on my list of place to go. I adore travelling.

oh yes, responding to the Glastonbury post was because I didn't want to give you a cheerful 'hello' message to that sad bank fraud story, and for good measure I skipped the squid post as well. hee.

[fluffymark]

Good point. I'd not thought of that. Although what's wrong with my squid post? *wonders*

Re:

Actually, it was the squid that attracted me. But I'll never admit it.
