Yes, much fairer

Our groups got 30% of tickets we were trying for which is about normal for coach sales for us. As always I did not get in myself, 8.5 bars is as far as one browser got. Laptops closer than phone.   Despite the 'boredom' of not being able to do anything I prefer this system and am very pleased we do not get a queue number even though it is annoying as that stops twunts selling them if they are a low number.

To answer your question, I'd say that fairer means no advantage to anyone, from a physical system point of view. A level playing field. It's out of the festivals hands on the number of devices available to people or organised groups, there's only so much they can do. Maybe to counter that, they need to reduce the purchase number from six to four?   A great deal of the subjectivity here comes from multiple-attendees that are used to the previous processes and knowing certain methods to potentially gain an advantage.    From what I've seen so far, the larger syndicates have not been as successful but the acid test will be Sunday. We can probably make a better judgement then. 

New Sam Fender sounds a lot like Sam Fender.  And by that, I mean it sounds like Bruce Springsteen. 

I wouldn't say it's any more or less fair, but definitely less chaotic.
