Just a note to say that, when I managed to get a caravan pass Monday lunchtime, it was fully 24 hours before they actually took the money from my account. So, if there is going to be another tiny flash sale, after some people's money fails to go through, I doubt anything will happen to give time for money to be fully processed.

Could anyone who managed to get GA tickets around this time yesterday please check their bank accounts to see if your a payment has has left your account.

It may be worth asking the Question in the thread about people who got tickets yesterday x

I know someone that has fibre broadband - every time someone uses the connection they get through almost immediately in the general sale. This time he was away for the resale :-(

everyone else in the town around him seems to struggle to even get onto the holding page.

Given the effort people who actually want tickets are prepared to go through - something different should be tried.  Put main sale tickets on early (e.g. 4/5am) Sunday morning and rate-limit them so that they sell steadily for 12/18 hours, only two per transaction.  I'd rather that then all going in a random 20 minute shoot out - hopefully all the good people who really want them now would already be sorted in the first marathon!

While that makes sense in a way, I'm sure there are also people who legitimately can't afford to spend 12-18 hours on the computer, so it would still be unfair to some.

FALSE ALARM - CV tickets just changed to 22nd June

Anyone else just get an alert and have a mini heart attach!

Another heart in mouth moment...

2004 was like that ..... It took over 24 hours to sell out due to a server crash at Seetickets

I have fibre broadband and it didn't help me in the main sale or the resale this year :-(

That tour page has been nothing but trouble

This was my first time with fibre broadband, not a sniff, same as last year. The person who got our tickets got them on a 3G connection on a phone. It's luck.

It doesn't seem like there will be any changes to the ticket system soon. They get rid in a short amount of time, which is good for both festival and See, with the only main problem the past few years being people's disappointment-an inevitable consequence.

I agree with you totally on this! I got as far as declining insurance only to get tickets not currently available. It's a bigger knock than not getting a page at all. 

It is unfair I got on the page twice in April then pressed proceed and just got put back on the holding page again. It was so frustrating 

[Stocksey]

its coming! i feel it in me waters

I think 2004 was the longest I've been awake outside of an actual festival.  30 odd hours of pressing f5 and I still didn't get tickets until a resale a few days later.

Hasn't left mine yet, just showing as a pending payment.

I agree. It hasn't been helpful and just added to my stress haha.

yeah I think so. But for some reason he has got through within minutes for the last 3 times. He got back in 3 times in october and got tickets every time. He got 4 lots of tickets before the rest of us even had a sniff. Perhaps he is gandalf?

That's interesting. I reckon if there are any cancelled tickets it would surely be monday

Right, working from home Monday too then!

There's a theory I've seen knocking about that the reason there are so many scousers at Glastonbury is because the broadband connection in Liverpool is so good

I'm hoping clutching at straws that they were testing yesterday, and someone hit the big red button by mistake, then they turned it off quickly, but some people got tix.  I reckon there's thousands left.  15 minutes, it'll be up again
