15,000 tickets is not a lot to have gone on sale. 

Baring in mind a hell of a lot of people know how this works. 

There's like 10 times more tickets going on sale on Sunday, stay strong... If anyone is only buying 4, i'm buying two, perhaps you fancy a link up ❤️

I'm buying 4! Send me a PM.

Yes I got that - spent about 10 minutes frantically going back to see whether some of the registrations had accidentally slipped off - extremely frustrating and didn't get through

Same here:(

Got through to the coach ticket page. Picked 4 on the drop down for the 4 of us. Clicked buy ticket & it comes up with "you need to select the correct number of tickets for who's going". Kept trying for that and other locations and it kept coming up with that same message. Bug or did anyone else experience this?

Really frustrating. So close and yet so far.

Same thing here (and for a couple others apparently).

This was the holding page wasn't it ? just halfway through the glastonbury header disappeared ?

Yes I noticed that the header disappeared - of course I was concerned that that meant I'd been thrown onto the 'wilderness' page, but I don't think that was it. Perhaps they just turned it off to save traffic as graphics are big?

Does anyone know of a text replacement add-on for Firefox? I have one to cover Chrome. Thanks.

Same! It happened over and over again until I got a message saying they were sold out:( I kept going back to make sure I had definitely added the right amount of regs on and I had!!

Then I got a page with the remaining departure points which disappeared before I could check with the group.

Me too! Was on Wednesday for about 10 mins frantically choosing different places to depart from then same thing happened for Thursday. If they haven't got enough allocations in the coaches why are we given the options..? (only what I can assume, couldn't have been all of our computers messing us about)

Me too. I assumed theyd just sold out, at least 20 or 25 minutes had gone by then for me.

Genuine question. How do you get close? I thought it was either through to the booking page or not. Am I missing something?

put the registration details in for the 6 people I was trying for, selected the coach destination and then it wouldnt let me get them as the wednesday tickets had just sold out.

started again for thursday tickets and the exact same thing happened.

person who's card we used tried to access her online banking and got locked out so now that looks really dodgy, we've got our confirmation but worried bank is gonna fuck us over now

I managed to get ours using Safari with VPN.  I only had one window open and refreshed about every 10 secs (it was taking ages to refresh so couldn't do it any faster).  Didn't get anywhere with phone and iPad on 4g.  Fingers crossed for people on Sunday.   The keyboard shortcut didn't work very well.  It kept automatically sending me to the top of the page, so I used copy and paste from Pages instead.  Hope this helps.

So please did people frantically refresh and get chucked off or did you all who got booking page refresh like mental

Don't know about anyone else, but I became paranoid about this whole '60+ refreshes a minute and we'll block you' thing. Sometimes refreshes went through lightning fast, but other times there was a wait for several seconds before anything happened. Ugh.

Same - it felt like the quick refreshes weren't even connecting.

This. Information, while useful to know, was distracting. The refresh speed was annoying too.

Indeed. 

And when you whittle it down to the amount of tickets available per departure town, it's really not many at all! 

Keep the faith everyone! 

Sorry, I should add that I'm trying for a full group on Sunday so can't help you out all the best though, see you on the farm

A final slap in the face: If you go to the ticket buying link right now, you get the two big pink 'buy ticket' buttons for Wednesday and Thursday.  Don't get excited - they don't work.

I have a VPN I can use, what territory did you put it down as, out of interest?

Hahaha, it really did! I thought it must be taking longer because it's loading a new page... then nowt.

Yes, had the heart rate go up the a few times it seemed to be taking longer.
