Re: auto refresh apps

I may be being dumb here,but which url do we need to refresh for Sundays sale? Is it just  glastonbury.seetickets.com. ?

'white screen freeze' is just typical of a system that's so under pressure that it doesn't respond. Welcome to ticket day....

Yeah true. I’ve been getting tickets since 2014 but it definitely feels like since the 2020 sale it’s been much harder.

I got tickets 2013, 14, 15. Since then I’ve not even seen a booking page. 16, 17, and 22 were all purchased by a mate. 19 I got lucky with Oxfam.

 

Im surely due a run of luck again.

Much harder cos popularity has increased. Were all in the same boat.

I remember when in 94 you could get tix from a local bookshop ffs.

I wonder if I send £50 and a letter begging entry to the festival offices I’ll be allowed to just attend without having to go through T day

[Pinhead]

50k maybe they'd listen.

[Pinhead]

Look, understand that Glasto is hideously oversubscribed. Its the big socio-cultural ticket of the year in the UK, so competition is accordingly huge.

I have seen reference to auto-refresh apps and using a specific phrase to bring this about.  I don't have time to read through the 112 pages between now and Sunday to try and come to understand this.  Is there a way to explain this in simple terms for non-tech people?  I can imagine you'd rather keep the numbers in-the-know low, but no harm in asking....

Nah - you've got to get from glastonbury.seetickets.com to the holding page of doom ("You will be held at this page until the lifeforce seeps away from your soul.....") and *that's* the one you have to refresh..... but not more than 60 times in a minute

You don't really need to stop the autorefresh by using a specific phrase - if the autorefresher gets you to the registrations page, then any further refreshes will still keep you on that page, so you're not in danger of losing it, it'll just stay lovely and refreshed.

If you *really* want to stop it on that page, then something like "ADD UP TO 5 ADDITIONAL TICKETS" might be a good choice - it don't appear anywhere else....

You add that in Auto Refresh Plus for Chrome using the  Page Monitor tab

“Postcode” is the one I’ve always gone with. And before anyone asks… it is one word (no space). Got through on Thursday so was able to check

Multiple horror moments but lucky in the end:

1) Buy tickets button not working first time, 2 mins of horrid refresh and pray

2) bank verification can fuck off

3) this horrendous countdown for over a minute waiting for the payment to confirm

P.S anyone know what time the Taunton coaches leave? Can’t remember if I picked a time, and nothing on email.

just reading back through this .... Taunton coaches you don't select a time but anecdotal evidence points toward earlier departures for earlier bookings

Many thanks for your reply @billum(and @09matthewsw), but I would really be in need of a "for dummies" explanation from the start....   If anyone knows of an info page or tutorial that might send me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

Just noticed Sticklinch Farm's for sale if you're looking for something to spend your winnings on. Bargain at £1,3500,000... I'm just a bit short... about £1,3499,950 short to be honest.

https://www.roderickthomas.co.uk/properties-for-sale/property/11730832-sticklynch-west-pennard-glastonbury

Does it come with tickets?  Maybe if we all chip in £50 each, and make up the shortfall by covering the 4 acres with yurts...

Awesome. Thank you. Is it the case that once the system has accepted the post codes and reg numbers, you 'should' be grand? That was the page I couldn't get past on Thursday 

 Not  necessarily grand unfortunately from our experience on Thursday as still ticketless due to the authorisation issues but one of us was trying to put the (failed) payment through which blocked myself when I got in

Sorry no more reactions but thanks for your reply. If we have authorisation issues after all this... Gah!

‘Postcode’ does appear on the holding page, so will not work.

A long string is likely to fail. You only need to have one letter wrong for this not to work.

[drunk pumpkin]

Not a tip but. I’ve just spent the last 5 hours watching Glastonbury performances and reaffirming just how much it means to me. 
 

I’ll be devastated if I don’t get tickets 

😢

good luck all my virtual friends for Sunday as I know you all feel the same!

Ah, bollocks, you’re right. Apologies! 

[Scrump]

'Please enter your Glastonbury registration'

Worked for me.

I just used ‘form’ on Thursday and that worked

[kalifire]

I’ve set it up to stop refreshing when it can’t see the word “held” anymore.
