    Right, so I'm guessing all my fellow myhab'ers got the email from Kev today (cheers!)

    There's a couple of early buses leaving for Portlaoise from Dublin early Tuesday:

    So if we get ourselves organised now to meet up and get the same bus, we can share a taxi. So... say so. :D

    My friend and I were all excited, we got jobs at EP, getting paid and enjoying a bit of the festival who could complain.

    Today my friend rang up the organisers to find out what time the bus leaves on friday to find out she doesn't actually have the job. What happended was that my friend worked there last year and was told over the phone that because of this she has it this year. She then got an e-mail and was told to fill out the attached form, which wasn't attached. So she got the e-mail again with the form this time, had to fill it and send back within 10 days, this was on the 19th.

    She posted the form yesteday. When she said this to the organisers today they said it was ment to be in before the weekend. Is there anything she could do? We're both pretty annoyed at what happened, I would have gone for the job if it hadn't been for my friend.

    Thanks for any help.

    So how do you get into this line of work and get paid for it, I have been volunteering at festivals for two years now. I would like to be paid to do this work and enjoy the festival too, And why do some people get freebie tickets and yet do sweet fcuk all to get them.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    knowing people who work for POD/sponsors/PR companies who are involved with EP, or be involved in media/music scenes in general.

    i know someone who works for Bacardi and got 6 free tickets last year. i know a few who work for a PR company, and a radio station, and they got free tickets for themselves and a +1 and could get more if they asked.

    I applied for stewarding through the main EP site and never heard anything back, despite numerous emails. Very disappointing.
