But surely before not everyone would get tickets as well. You could improve your chances by f5ing at the optimum rate but just as all 36 won’t have a guaranteed position in the queue not all 36 used to get through 

Haha, I'll be amazed if Glastonbury have gone and got Paramore over Reading....not so surprised though.

The biggest crush that we experienced with the children was getting to see Rolf Harris!  Wrong in so many ways 

Ah yes, but the probability has changed.   Assume that the 36 are spread evenly over the entire queue.  Then only a certain number of these 36 have any real chance of getting tickets.  Once those that could get tickets have got their tickets, that's them done, they won't be able  to continue to get tickets.   So there is a high chance that some of those in big groups won't get tickets.   Whereas before,  not only did all 36 have a chance of getting tickets, those that did get tickets could keep trying.  There is also a slight advantage in that the people in big groups knew how to tip the technicalities in their favour.   I'm sure somebody with A level maths could work out the probabilities.  But certainly, the probabilities have changed.    

It's not too strong, you would expect at least that. I'm not bothered for LP at this point really, it's just not the same deal. I actually don't even know if I'd go and see it now as I feel I'm almost going to just see Mike get a group together to cover their songs.
