Makayla Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 That's the shirt Oxfam gives you to wear when volunteering for them. So signing up is your best bet:D I really want to volunteer, but the only problem is i'm going to their show in California and i live in Colorado. Would they still let me volunteer?

icedude2010 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 ^^Maybe, I volunteered in Chicago and I live in Indianapolis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I did it when I was 16, so I think as long as your 16+ you are ok. I thin you have to be at least 18 to do it w/o a parent?? not sure though since it didn't apply to me. hmmm... well I'm 16, so I'm hoping i can do it!!!!

localola86 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 ^^Maybe, I volunteered in Chicago and I live in Indianapolis How far is Chicago from Indianapolis? I ask because I had to write in the application that I live 4 hours away (by car) from West Palm Beach. I'm afraid they'll reject if I live too far away, :( even though I would not mind driving for hours or flying (I am planning to go to New Orleans in the summer, and it would be cool if I did around June 6, when Coldplay will be playing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professa95 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 i signed up for the washington dc concert. Oxfam is just such a great organization in their efforts to get FEMA more involved with the Gulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplaylvr828 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Woo I signed up for New Jersey! I signed up my boyfriend too =) Hopefully we'll get to go. Perfect timing too; I just finished up a public service announcement for Fair Trade for my communication design class =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technicolor24 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Cool I really would like to volunteer! You still have to buy a concert ticket though right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_TheSkyCouldFall Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 No, you wouldn't have to buy a ticket - it's complimentary :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeneyes1207 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 if anyone wants to volunteer at the Birmingham, Alabama show, only 8 people have signed up so far...and they need 20!!! sign up if you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carapebe Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 how long does it take them to respond? i've applied to every show that i'm within 4 hours of, but i still haven't heard anything back. and i'd love to help out if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneyes1207 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 they send out an email a month before the concert you applied for, so this week they should be sending emails to people who applied for the first few concerts of this next leg of the tour. When I talked to the lady about oxfam today, she said she'd send one out tomorrow for birmingham...so I take it that she's sending emails for west palm, atlanta, va beach and dc sometime this week.

greeneyes1207 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 yayy!! that's awesome!! I got an email for west palm saying I'm on the back up list. !! I probably can't make that show though..don't know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhianna Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I got an e-mail about Atlanta this morning but I very much doubt I'll be able to do it anymore since my rehearsal schedule got changed and now I have rehearsal that day. That day was originally in the middle of three days off for me and since I'm 6 hours from Atlanta I needed that, alas. I signed up for Tampa too and since I'm already going to that one I'm hoping to be picked again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackchickintheback Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 So you get to the show at least an hour before gates ope, like 5:00ish, and you practice asking people to sign up, meet other volunteers, talk, etc. Then, once gates open you walk around and ask people to sign up for oxfam all the way up until about 9:00, giving you 15 minutes to get settled (or so) before coldplay comes on. You watch the show, then after teh show you guys meet back up at the oxfam booths and get some last minute signups and debrief, then you go home a happy camper! So should we have tickets to the show or not? Or can we hang out in the back? At the VA Beach Amphitheatre there's a "lawn section" When Im done volunteering can I enjoy the show from the back? *Edit* I'm volunteering. :D That's why I'm asking all these questions.

You will have a free ticket to the show - you just don't know where it might be...so if you're trying to be up close then your best bet is to buy a ticket anyway:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localola86 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 It's a free ticket I can complain or worry about where it will be. Besides, you'll get to hear the soundcheck, and hanging around afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivet Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Im just wondering, I mean, it's definitely cool to get the chance to do this, but, the seats for the volunteers, how good are they?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
