The cold hard truth is that, generally speaking, having a gameable system greatly improves the chances of people in this forum getting tickets. Even a more strictly enforced version of what we have now would massively reduce your chances. If I came out of the Sunday sale without a ticket I would be praying that (aside from fixing the obvious bugs such as the “rejected queue number” one) they didn’t touch a thing for the resale. Even the “access denied” error message… you now know that if you keep retrying it will go through. That gives you an advantage over others unaware of this that will give up. if I was in a big group that still needed tickets I would also be praying that they don’t fix the back button issue before the resale too. A proper ballot, with strictly one entry per group tied to a registration (assuming they could keep duplicate registrations under control), would be worst case scenario. It might feel like the better option right now (I know how gutting missing out on tickets feels) but I imagine disappointment you have now would be blown out of the water by the crushing realisation that the reality of the implementation of a fair ballot would likely mean you would miss a decade of festivals rather than the odd year here and there. I do think there’s a distinction to be made between those that actively try to profit from the sale, but other than that I think anyone doing all they can to get tickets should be able to sleep pretty soundly at night. -
Last year, there was a 3 day window between coach and general where it was known it worked. I accept your rule going forward, but that was not the rule last year, and it was openly discussed after the sale here (there was still a resale coming up and there was no ban on discussing it back then, but it was then patched for the resale after all the fuss). If there was a rule against discussing hacks I would not have felt kinda betrayed by the hiding of it here cause if it's against the rules it's against the rules. But going forward, do you mind helping me understand the difference between a tip and a hack? I agree HOSTS is very much a hack, but: is running 30 chrome profiles a hack? what about the firefox 100 tabs thing? is that a hack? is using the back button to get as many tickets as you can fit in 10 minutes a hack? is using remote IPs and software designed for beating concert queues (aka: bots) a hack? i'm not trying to start trouble, i actively use here and TheOtherPlace for exactly this kind of info so I want to know the rules and lines as i've no interest in being trouble. -
but strangely is supposed to be headlining Coachella unless he turned that down too at the last second. So yeah, wonder whats up. -

Given the post above, and my history of attendance, I completely get that Glastonbury is special and that it transcends the experience and desire to be there that many other festivals engender. But to those who were unsuccessful this last weekend - you will get to be there in the future, perhaps in the resale early next year, and the festival shows no signs of ending any time soon, so the opportunity remains. No reason to fight about it this year, there are far worse things happening in the world and it's too late now to change the outcome. See you all in the fields 🩷
