Poop_Pants Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Despite me being successful the last 3 years im still scared ill miss out again. I dont know why, i just fear ill be in the seetickets queue and just hit a screen that says "Sorry Sold Out". I always get anxieties like this, am i alone? How confident is everyone on getting a ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrobaby Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 pretty much papping my pants.... i normally camp outside hmv or similar places but this year they are all resorting to web sales and my local hmv has given up on it because of the local yobs that queue and cause havoc in the streets. pretty certain my internet is not good enough to handle the ticket sales on the internet! really crossing my fingers! good look everyone!

Poop_Pants Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Is it safe to assume (to settle my mind) that as long as im there for the release at 6:45 i should get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieSpenno Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) Get on about 15 mins early and keep refreshing. Open lots of browsers and you should stand a decent chance. I'm double stressed as I got my ticket for last year just after the 08 fest in the presale. But this year I have to go through tomorrows stress for myself aswell as my mate. I'm literally touching cloth. BRB. Edited March 28, 2010 by RichieSpenno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblythe Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm hopinh, i have two pretty fast laptops with good interenet speeds so they can handle the queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poop_Pants Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Has anyone actually failed despite being online at the right time? Im always under the impression only a small number of people on at 6:45 get tickets and it essentially sells out instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Role Model Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 i've got mine thankfully, but still having to go through the pain tomorrow because there was a mess up with buying them last year so need to get one for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading Local Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I got my last year in the pre-sale at last years prices....have decided that's the safest bet year on From previous experience - don't panic if you can't get on straight away and also don't use the official links (what I mean by that is the links on the official reading site etc..as that site will crash almost immediately) Use this board as a source for tickets via the official outlets as there are always really helpful people on here who post backdoor links so to speak to help you get tickets via the official outlets a lot more easily & don't panic if you can't get any straight away...keep trying and also come Tuesday there is still bound to be loads of tickets available due to people's cards getting refused etc...again use this board as a source for links because people always post links on here - to the official / genuine ticket sites that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Role Model Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 i remember having to get one for my sister last year and it's really not that tricky if you're online early and just stay calm. sounds like rubbish advice, i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan R Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'v always found that tickets go on sale about 5 minutes early (for 08 and 09, plus T and glasto this) Then you can sometimes get straight through hassle free also if one of your friends gets to the order form, get them to send everyone the link to get straight through to it I got mine in the pre-sale though so no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinobi93 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Already got mine with Early Entry. But i'm attempting to get a pair for a couple of mates tomorrow who also want EE. Does anyone know if Ticketmaster still let's you 'bolt on' EE to a Weekend ticket and a supplement because I did this for mine in September to save me paying Postage and Fees on both, and to save me having to go through the process twice?

Keva Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Got mine last year. So glad I haven't gotta go through the worry this year. I've never had any trouble in getting them in previous years though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopite_mark Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 do you reckon the lineup will be leaked earlier in the day, cos i can only afford to go for the day this year and id like to know the blink day before the crazy ticket rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer_andy Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 you'll be fine most likely. Be on at 6.45 and start refreshing, look for a direct link on here as said before. If you do fail on the first night, keep checking here and seetickets/ticketmaster etc a couple of times a day and you will eventually get a cancellation or an extra released ticket. Last resort = scarletmist (rare) or ebay closer to the time (you're almost guaranteed a ticket at close to face value on there a couple of days before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
