Tbh with the huge level of demand some of the questions were a tad uncomfortable anyway, where you think "have I misunderstood or is that person really asking if the bottlegate affected person is able to ask for an extra 2 tickets on their behalf?"

Did people actually stop to add a water bottle onto their order before going through to payment or was it some sort of mistake where a bottle was added instead of a ticket rather than as well as.  Sorry if I'm being thick - I didn't read the other thread.

That was what people were asking. I get the temptation but also has the potential to ruin it for everyone.

It seemed like Seetickets couldn’t tell how many tickets were on each order or something

It’s all good … the thread continues …

I'd saying talking about it again is prob not helpful, negates the deleting of the original posts........

I wonder how they're actually allocating these tickets for bottle-gaters. As in, were they somehow reserved by purchasing ticket insurance? or did they hold some tickets back on the day because they knew the issue was happening? or are they having to allocate extra and thus reserve fewer for things like corporate, friends and family etc.? would be very surprised if they were accounting for the extra on the basis of later assumed cancellations as that would be a very risky game to play with capacity rules.

its not good my brain is fried.my brain is how-come efests has worked till here.
gonna try to make decisions on the same basis as i always did, but need to be careful with that, efests is more important than ever to me, cos its my ability to earn a living and be financially independent, and as my last bit of remaining independence, thats very important!!!!!!

i managed to keep efests working during months in hospital last year, so i hope i can keep on masking it work.

When you got through to payment window, only water bottles and insurance was showing. Happened to me, noticed and kept trying until a ticket appeared. Thank god it did as I wasn't going to just buy a water bottle, didn't realise it was an error

IIRC they did also get licence for increased capacity in the last licence but no indication that the whole thing would be used so they may be using some flex there. Another thought is that 'the tickets weren't allocated properly' could mean that they were allocated but just not to them in that moment and the tickets coming up after sell out could just be other forms of failed or incomplete orders.

Pleased tickets seem to be being honoured though. Was half expecting full refunds with an apology.

Not sure sorry, think it was all done over the phone

Did they pay on the phone or was it a case of logging on and putting in registrations? Would explain the page checker pings if the latter.

Is anyone else still waiting to be contacted by See about bottlegate? 

Thinking I may have lost out on my chance for two tickets because I got "lucky" with one coach ticket. :(
