Lift-share

Still bummed out about not getting tickets. Have had a rough year.   could anyone explain why my chrome was progressing so much quicker (I was only a few bars away from getting through at 9.30!) than my Safari browser on laptop connected to WIFI, and my Microsoft edge and opera browser on my phone and iPad (connected to 4G respectively)? Partner was on same WIFI on their laptop and had one browser and told them to shut theirs down when it looked like I was progressing rather smoothly (they were only on two bars the whole time). Was I just put in the close, but no cigar section of the queue for that specific Queue-it ID? Would love to know theories, thoughts, speculations ahead of resale.    Only thing I could think of is that *just before* the timer hit zero on Chrome, I hit refresh… and sporadically refreshed out of impatience (F5 trigger was kicking in from last four sales that I’ve gotten tickets).    well done to those who got tickets and are returning, and for all the newcomers too. It’s not down and out for me yet but the anecdotal evidence from online and from friends of friends of friends etc of people who could backspace and get multiple tickets is just making me deflate like Michael Eavis watching Chris Martin yet again. It feels like 2019 and 2022 ticket days were relatively easy compared to the horror of last year and the admittedly more stable but equally frustrating process today. 

I’ve got similar thoughts. I last went in 2022, and whilst I really enjoyed it, and the Macca headline was an all timer for me, overall I felt like I was going through the motions. We tried unsuccessfully in 2023 and I was gutted to miss out, especially on the resale, but ended up doing something completely different instead and being glad it’d happened that way. I ended up not bothering for this year or next, and looking at the rumours for 2025 I have zero FOMO at the moment. That said, I do hope I can find my Glasto mojo again, I suspect I will, but I’m happy doing other stuff at present

This is my first time trying for tickets and being unsuccessful and I've been 12 times so I've done well and very grateful for my times on the farm. It was a last minute decision on Thursday to try as my other half is going to Boom in Portugal for 2 weeks in July. I'm very involved in our ticket groups and got loads trying for me. We were almost there on the booking page when it sold out. I've not given up hope yet and will be trying for volunteering and resale as well as competitions. The silver lining is I've just booked flights and accommodation to go to the new Balance Festival in Croatia in August which I couldn't have justified if I'd just got Glasto. So it's something different and won't require me to be looking at the weather every 5 minutes. So I'm feeling better than I thought I would be 

Now that the dust has settled, it’s still really weird I got the front of the queue and was directed to a random “Local tickets have now sold out” message, which I first thought meant I was too late, but then saw g19 in the URL and it wasn’t the current type pages. Thank goodness - after a bit of backwards (to the queue) and forwards (which took me back to g19) a big deep breath and entering “Glastonbury.seetickets.com” (removing the g19 event stuff) took me to the expected deposit screen (so clearly I was in an active session) and it was easy from there.  Strange.

Did anyone else get a “rejected queue number” error? Got through about 9:20am and immediately go hit with this.    Luckily my mate was battling an ultimately successful attempt with a timing out payment page.    I’m just wondering what the hell happened with this error.
