Lucky you! For some reason I was refusing to watch the forum action during purchase... Coordinating between people buying for us was all I did. Annoyingly I was like three bars from being allowed in before the sold out message happened. So disappointing. -
I'm no expert on these things, I've not been involved in web development for a long long time. (I'm going back to days of every site being built on HTML, PHP, MySQL and hosted on an Apache server. Alarmingly close to 20 years ago! 🤣) But even at the most basic level, It should be child's play to have the purchase confirmation screen either edit a cookie or write a cookie that can be checked before allowing another purchase. This wouldn't be full proof, can easily be overcome, but it would prevent a lot of the non-techie, casual, backspacers. Really though, and I admit, I'm not fully up to date on all of this, but I would think the queue-it session token needs deleting / invalidating entirely upon a successful purchase, both locally and, more importantly, on the CDN servers. It seems to me, like they've only implemented a time based expiry, and that's what causes the issue. -
I think it's perhaps indicative how average festivals are next summer. Take Stormzy and Roskilde, which is perhaps a more crazy choice than fender. It's quite interesting more festivals are trying to get under 21's, with cheaper tickets. -
Based on a sample size of 1, I think it's coincidence. I did the same thing and got nowhere. -
Don't know as it's just 'affordable' that there's demand for, Love Fields have sold out of their PYO too!!! We decided a while ago that we want to save, to do a big US trip, for the OH's 40th in October, rather than treat Glasto as our main holiday, so we were going to camp in general this year. But just went on to have a nosey, and they've sold out of PYO, Motorhomes and their pre erected bell tents etc too. We've stayed there the last couple of years, and they've never sold out entirely on ticket day before.
