 Good question. The only info about it from the website: How can I volunteer for THE Fest 7 to get a free pass? If you live in the Gainesville area and want to help out and be a part of THE Fest 7 here is your chance. THE Fest 7 is looking for kick ass, friendly, and serious volunteers. Volunteers are always needed the weekend of the Fest. We offer a free pass to anyone who works a shift the weekend of. You will also get a Fest 7 shirt that no one else can buy. A shift runs about 6 hours and is anything from working registration, the door, helping bands load equipment, to being a rock star stage manager. Volunteer signup meetings will be held at: Wayward Council: 807 W University Avenue Gainesville, FL 32601 352-335-0800 MEETINGS ARE ON: Wednesday, Oct 8 Thursday, Oct 9 th Wednesday, Oct 15th Thursday, Oct 16th ALL MEETINGS ARE AT 8PM SHARP!!! These signups are first come first serve. So get out to the first one to snag the best shifts. We also ask for volunteers that can help in flyering for the Fest and help promote THE Fest 7 in other ways. There is also a mandatory work meeting on Wednesday Oct 29th for all volunteers and Fest 7 staff. If you would like to be informed please be our MySpace friend to get updates.

I have volunteered twice. Both times I got really good shift times doing registration/merch pre-fest (early in the day friday). IMO those are the best since there no shows at that time to conflict with. I got to meet lots of people and I loved volunteering.
I definitely going to volunteer this year and try to get an info booth or registration spot. |

I definitely want to volunteer, howerver I do not want it to interfere with any shows/the no idea tent sale.
If i bought a ticket, and end up volunteering, it would probably be pretty easy so sell it back to someone who didn't have one, right?

So ... I see the meetings are "first come first serve" this year... does that mean the people who've volunteered for many years don't get the privilege of picking first at the first meeting? I'm curious.

No, usually we let people who have volunteered for the most fests in the past sign up first.
