I'm also pretty sure you now cant refresh off the ticket page; once your IP is through, you won't lose the page. 

 

Definitely not the case mate. I got through last time around, was inputting the registration details and got booted when trying to get to the next screen. Luckily a friend got through and got our tickets!

I am shitting it. Not here this TDay. Will have no access to wifi. I'll just have a 4g connection on my phone.

I am waiting on mates to be successful.

 

Shitting it!

Fret not  Fuzzy! I got tickets this way last year and many other people did too. You're still in with as much chance as anyone

Only time I’ve actually got through in WiFi is in the resale for the last G, any other time it’s been in a mobile via 3/4g.

On the Coach ticket scrable, once you have been through the wednesday/Thursday option screen what do you see?

A list of towns to choose from? And if so does that screen indicate if coaches are sold out at that point?

thanks

When you get to the booking page..... do you only need to input the Reg Number and the Post Code? Dont need the peoples names??

Yep, just reg number and postcode. Pretty sure you'll verify successful names of registrants on following page.

Expect something like this, once you've entered the registration numbers and post codes, enter, the next page automatically comes up with the names of everyone for you to confirm...

I've offered to try and help out coach ticket day so I'm interested in how different this screen is.

3. I've had best results purchasing as a solo as inputting multiple personal details takes time and you can lose your slot. Once your ticket is bagged then try for your buddies 

 

 

 

 

Are you really their "buddy" at all?

[Avalon_Fields]

And, if just one of these already has a ticket, the next page says something like 'One or more of these registrations already has a ticket allocated', and you would have to start again with any that don't have one, hence critical for all who are trying in your groups to be working off the same list.

Loving that optimism! Thanks

Imagine if they threw in a curve ball and totally changed the ticket page so you had to enter additional information!

Keep the faith brother.  Turns out I'm away for the coach package sale so I'll be in the same boat.  Luckily Mrs Q is accepting of the fact that I will be somewhat preoccupied for that afternoon while we're away

I just hope they don't add that "just checking you're a human?" bit.

Click on each square which shows a car

*wrong, try a different picture you arse*

Click on each square with a sign in it

etc.

Imagine trying to do that once you've entered your details in and you're shaking like a shitting dog with nerves.

another point thats not being discussed, make sure you put the payment card holder as the lead booker. and the card address will be prefilled for you. if using a payment card thats not the lead bookers you have several more address fields to edit before you can submit it

Second this - it is truly soul destroying when trying to get tickets.... Every time I've had these by the time I have got through the tickets are gone or its crashed and I've had to retry for another date or seats.

pretty sure those captcha square things that keep giving you new pictures over and over, are there for you to provide 'proof of work' and  are actually mining monero for the website owner

Were other people in your house also trying for tickets?

Pretty sure other people using the same connection will cause you to hit to refresh limit and boot you out.

Nope just myself!

[zico martin]

Surely the one click per second rule isn't per connection though? ie. If all 4 of us here are trying to get tickets at the same time we'll be thrown out?

Honestly not sure. But there was talk in the other thread about the same network having the same external IP and that's what seetickets is going off. 

It would screw over people in uni dorms/public places so its probably not the case. 

The worst thing is you don't know when you've been kicked out the queue because the pages look the same.

Going for a three pronged attack this year of laptop via work VPN , tablet on Wi-Fi and phone via 4g. If only I had 3 hands though.

[Guy Incognito]

whats the general consensus around using more than one laptop/computer. Waste of time? I normally borrow my family's or friends' and have a two or three on the go.
