My best tips for ticket day....


Apone

Recommended Posts

6 tickets bought at 18:04 using an iPad and a UK VPN. My other machines (4G, WiFi) didn’t get a sniff.

It was a long sale for coach tickets, but I did notice some issues at 18:00 when logging on (Site overloaded and similar messages). Billing page was fairly slow so had to be patient.

Got 8 more to get on Sunday. Good luck everyone!

Guys I had the page and it kept saying that I hadn't input the right amount of coaches for the amount of registrations even though I had!! Then it was sold out:( not feeling positive about Sunday now 

There was a drop down that you picked how many before you proceeded to next page

I had this as well as some others in our group. Very very frustrating.

We entered 4 registrations but when selecting the time of the coach it would bring us back to the time selection with only the lead booker details, but only let us select 0 or 4 tickets. Then it would say you cant buy tickets for more than the number of registrants. Then go back to showing all 4 and just do the same over and over.

 

Anyone else get this?

Yep, that pretty much describes my experience

There’s much to be said for helping each other. You might wait until you’ve bagged your own ticket, but there’ll be five other people trying for me as I will be for them. If I can’t get them a ticket, I don’t get one myself. Same goes for them. Together we win. 

Oh I certainly agree.

I was even trying for friends this evening.

Theres 29 of us trying for each other on Sunday and we're all local enough to get something sorted if some aren't lucky enough then but even with that in mind I still won't be fully satisfied until I have that pesky email confirmation!

I don't know if reading that others had the same makes me feel better, worse or... clearly just the same. Wonder how close we were/if there was anything we could have done?

I did that and selected 4, but it kept saying it didn't match the number of registrations:( annoying 

Shite!! We typed in our details 3 times as had to keep clicking back as it froze.

Then got through another 3 times.... 2 crashed.... typed in another groups and clicked proceed and crashed.

our mate lost out because someone in their group had given a wrong postcode ???

Would you mind elaborating on point two?

I didn't get further than "select a town/coach" page and didn't see any "check" boxes. That sort of thing usually happens at the end doesn't it?

Did I maybe miss a box before the payment page (which I'm pretty sure would've been the next one)?

Number three worked for me a number of times as well.

Same here, I didn't see any check boxes on the coach/town selection page after inputting registrations. Where were these meant to be? Really hoping it wasn't my computer just not displaying them, so gutted

Did anyone get a ticket from Bristol? And if so did you select a departure time?

i managed to get my tickets but didn’t put in a bus time

The confirmation screen says “thursday 27th June - various departures” then a little further down it says “Bristol single travel (DEP 6:30)”

did i accidentally book the 6:30 am bus?

Have we established whether there's any benefit to a VPN or not?

I can use my wifi or connect to my works VPN, not sure which to go with Sunday

IMHO a VPN gives you another IP address, and possibly a faster connection from the browser to the See ticket servers

I'd say that extra speed does nothing to enhance your chances, but the extra IP address certainly does help!

Long time reader but first now I became a member.

Never tried for Glastonbury tickets before but got three of them today for Wednesdays buses :) Had three computers up, one with 10 tabs, one with 5 tabs and one with one tab. The computer that worked was the one with only one tab.

Got in but was nervous so put in the wrong ID the first time. Every time I was going to a new page the timer stopped and the page was loading, after a while it got to the next step and the timer dropped like 2 minutes and continued. So don´t refresh if the page is just loading and the clock stops, it´s all normal and it will work.

Well done old son, I am really  pleased for you. You now have 9 months to chill and look forward to the biggest party of your life. Enjoy the build up, enjoy the festival

I meant just before you hit "confirm", so after you've put in your card details etc. They're the ticket boxes to say you accept the t&cs, plus some other stuff.
