Tickets on sale Sunday 7 Oct

[ST00]

The host file is an excellent way to effectively hack your own PC. If it's a hoax it's a very elaborate one indeed and they'd need to have hacked the Glastonbury database for the registration details already......

I risked it since the IP is a UK IP address.

We checked without the hack on another PC and we have already used the registrations so it's all OK

Right click and run as administrator

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Open 'hosts'

at the bottom paste 194.168.202.201 glastonbury.seetickets.com

Click save.

Try to load the page.

I'm not saying its legit, but I'm hoping it is because it worked for me!

Good luck!

[Vacant0]

On the seetickets checker (after I've changed the hosts file back). Host file is legit. Fuck yes.

[BlackHole2006]

Profuse apologies to al_coholic for suggesting his trick might not be on the up and up - I will admit when I realised the from "email" address wasn't a proper glasto or see one I immediately assumed the worst!

My concerns were only raised further when I noticed that the IP has a registered owner of "Putteridge Junior School". http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools#whois/type=domain&&value=194.168.202.201&&

However, as I got thru ok later on using a different computer (with no hosts file edit) and our reg numbers came up on the site as "used" I now know everything seems ok. Thank god!

al_coholic - hope you live up to your name as me and everyone else on here will want to buy you a pint at the fest!

[airwaves]

The method does work - my son, here with me, has done it to his laptop and has had a full confirm e-mail from Glastonbury which included details of all 7 people booked that he hadn't had to enter in to the system. Only the Glasto / SEE regn system woulkd know those details

[The Nal]

Are tickets on sale yet?

[StormCrow]

Hosts file trick worked for me got to payment page within seconds of changing it

[markeee]

can someone please explain the host file thing for people who are not techy, im panicking here now

[sortzcov]

No! remove the hash!

[sortzcov]

No! remove the hash!

[opencube]

i got tickets through editing host file.... although i cant seem to get through now...so either its been blcoked or loads of people now know about it and its slowed down like the normal address.

[mattrgee]

Would never have got tickets without changing the hosts file. I had been resending reg details for 40 minutes and was getting no where.

[benm61]

Done, I am panicking now though as I have moved my banking address from my reg address? Is this likely to be a problem?

[markeee]

anyone, host file instructions for pc?

[herzzreh]

Tickets bought about 20 minutes ago, but still no confirmation email. Hm... Details do come up on See order status page though.

[redmosquito]

Managed using internet explorer with mutliple windows, like most people I got the enter reg details page a few times, oddly each window got the page at the same time and it was exactly the same for each step.

June seems and awfully long way off now though!!!

[Big Vern]

Did the host trick, immediately got onto the booking page and 2 minutes later ticket deposits paid and confirmation email arrived 5 mins later. Went on to Seetickets order checker and it confirms the booking. A hearty thank you Al Coholic!
