Tickets on sale Sunday 7 Oct

[Pinhead]

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....4.168.202.201&

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!

I can't get this to work on my Terminal in Mac, when I press enter, it says permission denied. Ideas?

[sloan85]

how long does it take to get the confirmation email??

I did the host change thing on my mac. When I go back into the host file thing it doesn't show the link.... does it save to there or somewhere else?

anyway, it loaded first time after that and went through to payment page after 2nd attempt.

Can relax when email arrives.....

Windows instructions if you want to try the host file edit.

search 'notepad' under the start menu.

Right click and run as administrator

click 'file' and 'open'

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!

I got tickets through the hosts file but now its not working anymore! Want to get tickets for friends! Have they shut it off?

[thingsthatgoflirintheschla]

The hostfile thing works a treat!

On mac...

1. Go to Terminal (searh for the 'Terminal' app on your computer)

2. Type in the following (without the speech marks) "sudo nano /private/etc/hosts"

3. you'll be prompted to enter your password.. put it in and press your enter button.

4. when the list of numbers and web addresses comes up use your down arrow to scroll down to the bottom, just above the text that says "Optional Block List"

5. type in "194.168.202.201" then a space and then "glastonbury.seetickets.com"

6. press and hold the "ctrl" button, followed by the "o" button.

7. press enter

8. press and hold the "ctrl" button, followed by the "x" button.

Good luck

Host file trick worked straight away for me, got mine and a few others in 3 seperate bookings

email confirmation came through straight away

[Breeze]

The hosts trick is legit - just looked up the IP address that the domain directs to using this: http://www.selfseo.c...f_a_website.php

It checks out, don't worry people!

[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!!!

[miniand]

Got thrown of the reggy details page a few times, got through and deposit paid at 10.01

Quickest I've ever got tickets. Well happy with that :-)

[moremi]

Got tickets after having booking page with reg details twive before 9.00 - lost it both times. If you enter your reg details and then proceed and it doesn't accept use back button and try again. Worked for us after 5 times

[fightoffyour]

I think they've fixed the hosts trick hole now anyway

It didnt work for me at all I think i did something wrong. the file i opened said it was a sample file, surely that means it does diddly squat to your computer no matter what changes you make to it?

[New Cillit Bang]

If you put - glastonbury.seetickets.com , into that site it shows the IP address is 194.168.202.201

[Mozzerrella]

YOU BEAUTY.

Everyone do this.

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

Open the hosts file with notepad

Add the above to the bottom of it.

[whateverman]

when doing 194.168.202.201 glastonbury.seetickets.com do you need to include the # ?

I entered it as # 194.168.202.201 glastonbury.seetickets.com is this right?

[Pinhead]

Make sure the hosts file has had its read-only attribute turned off if you are having trouble saving it. Right-click the file, properties, general, attributes, read-only, untick
