I guess the problem is, this forum will probably see a drop in success.   The planning usually works, but I've tried for every year since my last festival and haven't seen a booking page.   From a selfish perspective, I'm seeing this as a huge plus. It means 6 of us can have a crack at breaking the code.    It may also be sheer chaos and a complete mess.   But I still have zero faith in SeeTickets to let you on the site, let alone get a place in the queue.    

I am really riled by this - what is wrong with the world? Although theoretically people shouldn't mind this as they don't mind the back-of-the vanners either.

Special place in hell for these folk

Loads of good insight here, but a couple of points from me, having used bots in the past to automate purchases.  1. IF they assign queue numbers or even give you an idea as to how far along in the queue you are, people will be selling their queue positions almost immediately once tickets go on sale. Glastonbury is one of the few events where demand massively exceeds supply and tickets are *almost* un-saleable for profit on the secondary market. I know of people utilising bots, scripts and more to increase their chances for previous sales, and also know of people selling these tools in order to help others increase their chances. I'm confident that selling queue slots on the morning of the sale will be very popular and very profitable too, so don't be surprised when this happens and therefore has a knock-on effect on the demographic attending the festival. Basically if you've got the money and desperately want to attend, jump on twitter on sunday morning and you'll easily end up with tickets, but probably closer to a dynamic pricing level of cost! 2. You can no longer help people outside your group of 6 purchase tickets, as it will put you to the back of the queue once you've purchased/refreshed etc. This means a lot of the larger groups/syndicates will theoretically have a lesser chance of getting tickets, but not sure I'm totally correct here. 

Maybe all those people who left in the Sunday exodus won't be bothering to come back next year.    SZA might have done you all a solid and flattened off the demand!
