yea, pretty much sums it up. so rather than just going on seetickets.com and being struck with Server Busy for 2 hours, backdoor links skip out everyone trying to get tickets, and takes you straight to the pages where you can order, making life alot easier

[paulomas]

and the only way of getting them really is people who have already got through to the order page. they then copy and paste the links to the forums (if they are nice enough that is!)

I shouldn't rely too much on backdoor links though; the forum often crashes because of the massively inflated number of new members and guests trying to get links.

ohhh ok, cheers for that everyone.

Backdoor links are sometimes counter productive when everyone knows about them...

Also when See tickets had the Rage Factor tickets earllier this year the ticket order page url was the same as the busy page so there were no backdoor links

Backdoor links are cool, and very helpful.

But maximise your chances of getting through by trying to use the smaller official sites like ticketline and gigantic. Less people seem to use them and last year I got through before the ticket sale had officially started.
