The answer is no. If you purchase tickets and then decide to volunteer, we will not refund your tickets – this is considered a ‘change of mind’. You would be responsible for selling it onto someone else.

We have a partnership with Tixel, a verified way to sell your ticket on to someone else if you can’t find anyone in your own networks to buy it off you. In 2019/20 we had an awful lot of surprise refunds that we technically didn’t have to do but we did because we didn’t want those volunteers to have a sour taste in their mouth after they just volunteered for us. It wasn’t great for our bottom line though as we had thought those tickets were sold and that money was to go back to the festival.

If you do buy a ticket and then apply to volunteer, please include this info in your application so we can remind you that it is your responsibility to sell your ticket on and that we won’t do a refund. We’d LOVE to be on the same page as you in understanding the fine print (that no one ever reads).
