Tickets on sale Sunday 7 Oct

[Spindles]

Manual refresh. Every time. I read that the auto refresh timing is in minutes, not seconds. I don't know how true that was, but I certainly wasn't going to take the risk.

[LondonTom]

We were auto refreshing from 0845 until sell out and still didnt get through.

Is there any benefit in auto refreshing or is it better to manually refreshing? Any advice welcome.

Persistence on ticket day is not always enough. It has to continue to the resales and volunteering.

[Bisque]

also, if that is the case, surely those who REALLY want a ticket that day, will get one, if you persist for 12 hours solid, surely you will eventually get through, no?

I've already warned people at work that if I don't get tickets I will be extra grumpy on Mon 8th Oct

Mind you I have also promised to get the doughnuts in if successful (Krispy Kreme special selection box)

[LondonTom]

I just noticed, (while using a stupid ticket manager we have at work, i needed to login on my account and someone elses and it only works in IE) that IE actually has a "New Session" option to open a new window. (Going back to neil's thing about the server might work and broswers increasing chances rather than windows and tabs.)

So you could open multiple sessions in IE at least. I wonder how other browsers do thiis *goes off to investigate*

Is it really actually a new session in how the browser is communicating with a server, or is just meaning that it's a new session - instance - of IE that will still share server sessions?

There's a risk here of a mix of use of the word 'session', between the techies who do the technical stuff, and those who write the interface in a way for users to be able to understand.

Then again, you might be right.

[eFestivals]

ahhh, ignore me .... I see IE explicitly says "Opens an Internet Explorer window that does not share credentials with existing windows".

So yep, that'll work.

Isn't that pretty much the same as the Porn Mode?

[Bisque]

Just to let everyone know as I was reminded earlier, the missus managed to get through & get us both tickets after the official Glastonbury twitter announced that all tickets had sold out. I remember there were a few complaints on here about this as people gave up.

WARNING! WARNING! STUPID QUESTION COMING UP!

What personal details will I need to get a ticket? Or will I just need to put in my registration number? Cus I'm gonna prepare it all the night before so I know I'm all organized and ready to go and I can boot up the old mac at 8:00 and not have to rush around in a frantic mess when I get on and realise I have to fill in loads of stuff and it might crash...

Registration number plus postcode. Then your payment details. Good luck to us all.

Hi LondonTom. Would you mind telling me where to find the new session option on IE8? Many thanks

[rubenz]

I am thinking of going in to work and using the computer there this time. Is this likely to make any difference at all as last year I could not get through on my home computer and one person who had a high speed internet at home had to buy about 10 tickets..

This is what I always do and I've never failed.

and plenty of people have never failed to get thru from home.

The fact that you're concentrating on means nothing at all.

[smudger]

so.......using exporer and going to.> file> new session and then opeing multiable windows would seem to be the best way to go then?

[Paul ™]

There is always a way to gain advantage, the fun is finding that way every year

[smudger]

oh and while we're about it, anyone got an idea of the webb address for the booking page this year?

its not much but if it saves you getting See tickets main page it might give an advantage especially if that crashes!

I'm just glad our first year of trying to get tickets was such a breeze. By the time I'd made a coffee and had a cigarette my girlfriend had booked tickets. All done and dusted by 8.59 am. I'm certain we'll never have that luck again so here's hoping by hook or by crook we get a ticket because I dread missing out.

Not familiar with IE at all, and can only find the option to 'open new window', when clicking on house symbol in top left of screen. Where does 'file' icon sit?

Oh, dear, showing my computer ignorance, again.
