Hi all, I was just wandering if anyone managed to volunteer at any of the festivals this year, and what it was like?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

No offence or anything.. but whyyy???
My brother volunteered to do something or other at glastonbury a couple of years ago; had a wicked time. you dont have to work the entire time and depending on what you're doing get cheap/free entrance
The deal was that you gave them the price of the ticket before hand, and after you'd done a certain number of shifts (wasn't a lot - a few hours a day for about 3 days) they gave you the price of the ticket back. So if you do the work it ends up free, if you can't be bothered to do the work you only end up paying the price of the ticket anyway.
If you're lucky and you can get down there early sometimes you can do all of your shifts before the festival actually starts - then you can just enjoy the festival. Think they might have clamped down on this a bit in recent years.
+ you get better camping (in Tom's field at the top of the site), showers, meals on the days you work etc. It's a good deal. Sorry, I haven't got the contact info any more moment. Maybe someone else can help with that? If not, just write to Michael Eavis and ask him
