The first page which loads is where you enter the reg numbers and postcodes so there isnt really any shortcut past that.

If you get there just do it and press next. If you think you've been kicked out after that point, you haven't and it still knows where you are in the process just keep refreshing and the next pages (one which confirms names of people and one which takes payment) shall load shortly. Have got 9 tickets this morning already!

You can try this - it's what I did, and I'm sorted, tho it's perhaps just coincidence....

Edit your hosts file...

on windows 7 you need to open notepad first by right clicking and open as administrator, then browse to the hosts file

On win XP edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS

and add "194.168.202.201 glastonbury.seetickets.com" (without the quotes, and as a new line)

save HOSTS file to same place.

Restart your browser.

It can't hurt, and it's not a dodgy link.

Waaay too tech for me! oh nooooooo

[paulomas]

can you explain a little better please? i dont understand what you mean by "browse to hosts files"

[GlastoSimon]

Access denied when saving as HOSTS

Any help?

[Mr.Tickle]

That is brilliant, yes, that seems to work, got my tickets, thanks

[eFestivals]

the hosts file can over-ride DNS entries - which is what changes glastonbury.seetickets.com to an IP address.

[paulhayhurst]

[MrZigster]

Tried that and it opemed Mass Effect. WTF?

[msutherlandglasto08]

Have opened notepad as an administrator and then not sure what to do - I've copied and pasted the ticket address in (is that the hosts file) but how do I browse to it and then what do I do with the IP address you have done, and how do I save - confused.com

[samcroasdale]

That, was perfect

[muffin]

[chewbacca]

[mungo57]

[ethereal]

Editing hosts file got me straight through and booked too (having seen zip before). Thanks!

May need to right-click + properties and untick read-only on the the hosts file before editing

After a kazillion browsers constantly timing out, and a wasted 30 minutes on the phone, this advice got me through in about 2 seconds. You sir, deserve a knighthood, either that or I owe you a pint. Thank you times infinity.

Neil... it worked... Marry me?
