Aaagh Shaun got through for you texted you for postcode as couldn't get further without it secret resales it is we will get you there - but we need more info next time!

That serves me right to be honest, I have had a few family issues to sort out in the last week and wasn't anywhere near s organised as I should have been. I'm gutted you got through though. I never got a text asking for a postcode so not sure if my signal was playing up! thank you all the same. I'm sorry about the postcode wasting your time.

I also tried Shaun before I realised no postcode and it said previously when trying for someone else they weren't available so I thought sold out. Secret sales it is. So I got my 3. FF got her 5 mates. Yog got his... but what about his brother in law @Yoghurt on a Stick? 

Thanks Curlygirl, I really should have been all over this. At least it was a successful morning for other folks on here.

All over the secret resales for you. So sorry you missed out today.

Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once again. Secret resales it is, never give up, right! Any help from here on in will mean alcohol. Lots of alcohol!

[Curlygirl]

Just goes to show, I have super wifi, yet I got through on my phone on 4g. 

@Milky Joe I can't promise help with secret sales as I can't take my phone to work or use the computer so I won't know they're on til after the fact. Sorry dude

Yes @Curlygirl so happy for you, and FF & Yog!

I got @sloseph and his friends parents...well I got on page then started shaking and my copy paste skills went out the window so OH had to come running in and complete the procedure!  So we as a team did it.

I saw that! Brilliant news!! You must bring @sloseph to the nfr/GG meet!!

Hello Curlygirl,

Do you mean the brother in law who decided to go off radar until he called at 8.55am this morning, in order to sort the finances out? The man that nearly gave me a coronary? Yes, I'm pleased to say that he did get a ticket from elsewhere. All is good now. All  is very good now.

Oh thank god!! I knew you had one as it said you did when I put your details in but wasn't sure about him! That's a relief! Does he even know how stressful it all is?! I'm so pleased you're going, really looking forward to meeting you

Glad you both got sorted, and then congratulations to the others who managed to in here! This is my first post in this thread (I'm trying to be friendly!).

So pleased for you Yog.  I never got past the holding page, which kept failing to load.

@Milky Joe I'm happy to try for you in the secrets - I've had much more luck there than in the main resales tbh

Congrats to all who got tickets,  big hug of commiseration to those who didn't xx

Cheers vintagelaureate. 

 

By the way everybody - vintagelaureate is the fine bloke who rang me up this morning and said something to the effect of ' Right mate I'm through. Give me your card details and we'll get this done'. Music to my ears.

Thanks are also due to all the other people off efests that tried for me this morning. I'm truly grateful to you all for making the effort. You know who you are. 

Cheers folks.

Cheers dizzymoo. It was a thoroughly mental morning. I've already offered my services to someone in the secret sales, and am awaiting their response.

Morning all.

I have a confession to make. I was woken up in the middle of the night by thoughts of the resale, and had a bastard anxiety attack. Once it eased off, I crashed out into a deep sleep, and didn't wake until 9.15. As soon as I saw the time, I got on the sale page, but just got the holding page for a few minutes until it sold out.

Feel proper shitty about not having been on the ball. Glad to see most tickets were got, though. @Milky Joe, I'll do my best to help in any secret sales.

Thanks for trying for me this morning Curlygirl. Somehow I knew that you'd be one of the ones working the problem this morning on my behalf. Much appreciated. And that goes out again to all of you that were doing the same.

Thanks Gumby, sounds like you were as organised as me this morning!Any help in the 'secret' sales will be hugely appreciated. I'm not giving up just yet! And I've got birthday presents to open so it's not all bad!

[MilkyJoe]

Thanks Georgie, yep certainly not giving up hope just yet!

I will try to help you in any secret resales, it will all depend on my access when I become aware of them.

Merry day of birth Milky! I know you didn't get the best gift but I hope you got something nice to take the edge of despair off

As much as I enjoyed the bakewell I certainly would not call it a shame that I won't be trapped on that coach for 13 hours this year 

I'm actually fairly confident I can make. It from Reykjavik in less time than it took me to come from Lincoln

Yeah probably! But it's going to be sunshine all round this year so don't forget the shades.
