It's crap on O2 and Three.
But it's very good on Vodafone and EE. And this year at least, Vodafone gave away free esim access to anyone who wanted it (and who signed up before they hit their limit).
Only just had this idea so not really thought it through but I like the idea others have mentioned of having to enter your reg number in order to access the queue to reduce the multiple windows etc (like others have said they do for their football clubs). I like the idea mainly because it would stop people being able to buy bots to game the system etc.
However, the concern was around people then just making loads of different registrations. A way around this could be to charge a certain amount for registration, say £10 or something and then that can be used for 5 years' worth of sales or something like that. Now again I know it's not ideal to introduce more costs to people but £10 is something I think pretty much everyone would be able to afford (essentially £2 per year) especially if it bought them access to a few years' worth of sales, yet would act as a deterrent to those who would contemplate creating loads of extras. This charge money could then all go towards paying for people at See to look through for any duplicate registrations. This would hopefully have the effect of justifying the charge to the majority who are concerned the system isn't fair by assuring them they are paying a small amount to make the system fairer and would hopefully discourage the more wealthy who would consider paying for loads of registrations, given they would be doing so in the knowledge that they stand a strong chance of being found out and having those duplicate registrations deleted and the money they paid for them lost. Slightly annoying obviously if you don't get tickets and have paid £10 but as this would be buying you access for 5 years worth of sales, you would only be losing £2, which let's be honest should be affordable to everyone is able to fork out £400 for a ticket and all the costs of attending the festival.
This obviously would have to start with everyone's existing reg details being deleted and everyone having to re-register.
Appreciate this is unlikely and again I reiterate this is an idea I've only just had so isn't properly thought out but keen to hear what others think.
