T day

[Gnomicide]

ha. It's four now I read the other day

Shouldn't that be 4our?

[SLEEPYMOPS]

Ive got tickets every time and never use the f5 method, i just let it refresh on its own and the longest its taken me to get to booking page is about 25 mins. For 2 of those years i had 1 shitty old slow computer.

I agree, let the pages time out. Hammering F5 could just be cancelling a request that's about to complete and get you to the booking page.

But have lots of browsers and lots of devices.

I basically hammered F5 until i got through, got fucked over by the servers going down last October though I think.

Amazing! Surprisingly I never thought of that.

Can all the techies who get tickets tell us about any super clever techniques they use ???

Don't share your internet connection with anyone else, use one browser tab and refresh as often as you feel comfortable.

The real 'backdoors' of old got closed down in this years sale.

Make sure you copy the link for the home page and go into it a lot, log in to see tickets as a registered user and also if you get through to the booking form copy the link in case it drops. Try on 3G as well as wi- fi. It is probably just luck tho! I shall be trying again - since 1995 when I sent off for tickets with a cheque via post ( ah those were the days!!) I Have managed to get tickets every year apart from 2004. This will be hopefully my 17th ( also 1984 and 86 before internet invented!)

I'm rarely lucky on ticket day, though in most years friends managed to book for me.

Last year was an absolute nightmare. Tried the early coach sale - no luck (wasn't that supposed to be easier?). October ticket day, no joy. April resale, same. Secret May resale - missed that, as I was at work in a meeting (yes, I know, but I really can't pack in work for a whole month, just in case). None of the people trying on my behalf had any luck either, although one of them is always trying from abroad which is supposed to be easier to get through.

I am not looking forward to all this again. But I do want to go....

Does 3G give more of a chance? ;O

It does in our experience...

Hit f5 a lot!

[Sawdusty surfer]

I'm going to be trying for a ticket for a friend (I'm already sorted for tickets for my posse) and if I get through I'm more than happy to help anyone on here.

Oh well well well it looks like I'll be trying that! Thanks.

[Padgey]

This will be my fourth time of trying, I've failed the previous 3 times but been fortunate enough that one of our group got them on 2 of those 3 occasions. Not sure if any of my usual lot are going this year so it might be a ticket for one.

[JayBalls]

Hit f5 a lot!

And bite your nails whilst saying c'mon repeatedly

[Douzeper]

Trying for tickets this year again. Didn't go 2012 for obvious reasons, had tickets for 2013, let them go into resale, didn't apply for 2014.

So a three year break and I am ready to go again!!!!!

On the Apple site this morning refreshing it like buggery for the new iPhone from 8AM whilst it crashes... like a home from home.

[kalifire]

Haha, I did exactly the same. I was talking with somebody doing the same thing who described it as 'nerve-racking'. I told him if he hasn't tried for Glasto, he doesn't know he's born. It's a whole different league of angst.
