It depends if that laptop when using a vpn will give you another IP and another device. Does it give you another queue position, or your just using a device you'd use over your home wifi but over the work vpn?
There were many many people who didn't get anything like as far as 8 bars.
Was there a warning about the back of the queue?
What I saw was "When the ticket sale begins (at 6pm or 9am respectively) everyone already on the glastonbury.seetickets.com page will randomly be assigned a place in a queue to access the booking process"
This will be 40 years on the bounce, which by my CSE grade 1 maths is 32 times, discounting the fallow years, pandemic etc.
Several of my early years were down to someone who sadly passed away this year, then a batch were courtesy of my dear old Dad who was able to snaffle a couple each year, but since then it's all been pukka, including one or two years over the counter from a record shop.
Then there were many times in the past where I got by with information shared here - eg secret sale tips etc back when they were a lovely thing.
Since the pandemic I wouldn't have got in but for lovely members here. @mjfiddy @Crazyfool01 @gigpusher and this year @Simsy have all enabled me to attend the event that, as with so many of you other folks, is one of the defining things of my life.
Big hugs to you all, may those of you who are still trying for yourself or others on Sunday be fruitful.
Let's have a great year x
Sorry for everyone's losses, but smoking and alcohol aren't comparable. I could list all the reasons why, but the proof is in the pudding really, isn't it? The people have spoken. It's a democracy! By getting rid of it in public areas, you're protecting people's freedoms to breathe safer air (your poll was done in 2024, by the way, after all the hard work has been done. Of course nobody, especially younger people, are too bothered by it when it has been all but eliminated in public areas!!!!)
Alcohol is nowhere near as addictive as smoking, and much much less carcinogenic.
