Still different 

Maybe that's why universities don't suffer the same over refreshing fate as you might in a house - something about how the university Eduroam wifi works. No one would ever get a ticket in halls otherwise!

Internal class c range used for wireless access. Probably started 192.168 or similar? If you want to check public IP point your browser at an on line ip checker

That's what I've picked up from here, but others disagree anacdotally. (?)

Cheers for the quick responses! Girlfriend is trying at work where multiple others are trying as well so could be an issue for her/them if it is the case...

4th year going (hopefully). Got a group of 6 girls and a group of 3 guys including me, all newbies.

My old group has split a little to bring in new blood.

Wasn't keen on going this year, and now with less than 30 mins left I'm more excited than ever.

Yeh, they both start 143.167....and then the remaining numbers are different. I googled "whats my ip" on both...?

Yeh, I feel worryingly nauseous. 

My friend just text me asking for our details because even though he doesn't want a coach ticket, he loves the buzz so much he needs the T-Day hit. Mental. 

Sunday I could use some help please. Today I'm trying for some friends.

Fucking hell i'm on O2 and hadn't noticed any issues until just now! Was going to tether ipad to phone as a backup.

If anyone wants me to try for them tonight; send your details across. 

I can be vouched for by people on here.

I could use some help on Sunday please. Tonight I'm helping some friends.

Christ, forgot how sweaty palms get on T-day

[Brownie30]

Our group aren't diving in to the mix until Sunday morning, but best of luck to everyone here getting their first T Day fix this evening!! May the little denim shorted gods be looking down on you.

[Pyeface]

Had been wondering if I was going to regret not trying for tickets tonight instead of Sunday, but now my internet’s down at work. 

 

Maybe it’s a sign from the festival gods?!

[Pinhead]

Yep T-minus 17 mins! Good luck all coach people!

Ahh okay, so two people trying in the same household should be okay as long as you're not going mad with the refreshing? It's just if you had like 10 people refreshing every second?

It's a bit of a lottery....if they both pick up the same load-balancer IP through DNS then they would be seen as same device and the cumulative refresh count would affect you.  But, there are 4 load-balancers and your connection to each only lasts 59 seconds before you get connected to another of the 4.  The chances of both devices being on the same load-balancer and therefore being seen as the same device throughout the sale is therefore pretty low.

In a nutshell...yes it should be OK but there's no guarantee, and unfortunately little way round it,

[FakeEmpire]

Good luck everybody.

It's always both terrifying and heart-warming reading efests around T-Day.   It probably makes me even more nervous than I would be if I just ignored the place but it's also nice to see people helping each other out and genuinely hoping everyone else succeeds.

I can't offer many technical tips.   All you can do is have all of your details ready to go in a way that is quick and the rest is up to the ticket Gods, I think.

Reading this thread is torture, but I can't make myself stay away.

I wish I didn't enjoy Glastonbury so much. Wouldn't have to deal with this stress almost every October.

Ladies and gentlemen please take your seats

 

THIS IS NOT A TEST

[amytamsin]

Good luck everybody! 

I’m getting nervous for you all and I’m not even trying for tickets til Sunday. 

 

[Dangertappy]

So much anxiety right now!!! Good luck fellow coach people!

For someone in a situation like my girlfriend who's trying at work with multiple others, what's the better option? Going through a VPN so she has a different IP than everyone else or just fingers crossed and trying on the same IP?

Is there a specific link or just the glastonbury.seetickets.com...

This.

Good trial run of this year's purchasing system set up as well from which we may learn a few things for Sunday.

Is it still 6 a piece for the coaches?
