glastonbury 2009

[jonny2mad]

well i was up bright and early and no one else seemed to be online on msn trying to get tickets , my sister and nephew have tickets I plan on working the watch towers anyone else going or thinking of .

[nynysuts]

I'm buying my ticket now, had a panic cos it wouldn't take my card then realised I hadn't put the money in the right account :rolleyes:

[lithium]

I plan on working the watch towers

A wise decision good Jonathan. I'm really missing the Glastonbury towers in much the same way a Vietnam POW would look back at his years spent in a semi-submerged bamboo cage with a certain nostalgic fondness...

[jonny2mad]

well i went back slightly on my wise decision and paid a £50 deposit this was at mid day i looked at the hours and thought i wouldnt see people that much and i can spend time with my sister ......im not sure about this and dont really care about losing £10 so can go back on it and work but the hours seem a lot for that event although heaven for any other .

my sister and nephew have tickets but no one else it seems

I was in that tower for 51 hours over the course of Glastonbury and still had more time off than I knew what to do with. Weak ways, good Jonathan. Weak, city ways.

[jonny2mad]

you may well be right showmet well im not sure what im doing

[PinkMoon]

im still unsure about it... tickets are so expensive.. may seek out a job there..

[jonny2mad]

Well you could do unpaid work or paid ,the paid is generally longer hours ,the unpaid like oxfarm might be fun.

The towers with green stewards have a great view but your on your own for long periods but its just looking about

[nynysuts]

I believe Oxfam is only three 3 hour shifts.

[lithium]

I think the Oxfam campaigning is 3 or 4 hour shifts, but most of them are stationed on gates and things checking wristbands and passes, and do longer ones... maybe 6 or 8 hours? Young Matthews would know, he did that last time.

[Claire]

Totally missed the registration date doh! Won't be waiting til the April scrum though now as it leaves me too late to book another festival if I dont get a ticket... on the upside though, it means we'll be going to Big Green Gathering :D

[Peace-Phoenix]

I think registration has re-opened and you can continue early ordering until February....

[Raskalization]

I'd work the towers, where do I sign Mr Thium? I'll apply now and book the days off work..... I need it. I'd also consider the Oxfam option...where do I sign?! I'll do it all!

[Claire]

Will do the deed tomorrow I think then if the registration thingies back open...

[dapablo]

I reckon every festival will have to slash prices for next year or they'll all be half empty.

[Power_13]

If it's missing the right half of people, maybe I'll go to Glastonbury again. :D

[dapablo]

perhaps maybe the ones that do go will be the well to do, unless they drop the wall that is

[lithium]

Thank goodness, we don't want just any old riff-raff getting in! Last year I was certain that some of the people there were *working class*:eek:

Sign up with www.greenstewards.com, unfortunately it's usually organised very short notice, but get on their mailing list and you'll probably get a chance to spend days on end on your own at the top of a metal scaffold *sigh*

We can't have that!

I have my ticket and will be there again next year, looking forward to it.

[Peace-Phoenix]

Oooh, first line up rumours here (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI)!

[L.A.Matthews]

Oxfam is 3x8 hour shifts.

I may go next year... Although I'm unsure, because I may be moving to Cleveland, Ohio for a bit.

[PinkMoon]

ooh cleveland?! how come?!

3 x 8 hour shifts sounds like a helva a lot... hmmmm
Will see who is going from Uni and may buy a ticket :)

[Peace-Phoenix]

Think I'll buy a ticket eventually, but am a bit skint right now....

[Bonsai Ent]

Oooh, first line up rumours here (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI)!

Some day, not today, but someday soon, the fiery claws of justice shall close upon you!

[Peace-Phoenix]

Some day, not today, but someday soon, the fiery claws of justice shall close upon you!

Hahahaha, they wouldn't happen to be Rick Astley's fiery claws of justice would they?

[Bonsai Ent]

Hahahaha, they wouldn't happen to be Rick Astley's fiery claws of justice would they?

I'm going to book Astley HIMSELF. just you wait and see.

[Peace-Phoenix]

You're never gonna give this up are you? Don't take it to your heart. It's just a cry for help, whenever you need somebody....

Haven't bought a ticket yet, they went on sale far too early, but I will do in good time. We camp at the top of Pennards every year, last couple of years we've been opposite the entrance to The Park....
