Did we learn anything tonight for Sunday?

Remember to set your alarm!!

[Dancers Stand Very Still]

Today was the first time I've got tickets in 10 or so years of trying (so 30-40 sales). FWIW, I followed tips I read on here last year and used an ethernet cable ans the browser which got through was Google Incognito.

Congratulations! Have a brilliant time

From past experience and from looking at todays responses, its clear there are no tips and tricks, its pot luck

Some people get through on super fast ethernet while others manage to get throguh on a slow mobile phone connection, the browser doesnt matter, age of computer doesnt matter, all you can do is keep hitting F5 and hope you'er lucky enough to get through before they sell out

If your bank needs to to approve large transactions through your banking app (natwest do this now with the new MasterCard debit cards), don't use that device to try and buy tickets unless you want to risk accidentally closing the browser when switching between apps 😬

Yes she tweeted she was trying and unsuccessful.. for coach tickets.

Imagine you’ve just strolled out of the south east corner. Packed your bag, getting on a coach feeling rough as hell, and then you are sat next to Nadine Fucking Dorries.

Check out the replies to her Tweet 😄

Lots of long term regulars missed out this year.

That's what happens when you book shite mainstream pop acts, you get the whole party in the park NPC crowd going to take photos for their instagrams

It's literally a festival of contemporary music. 

What did you expect? Of course they'll book pop, because it's what's popular.

It’s pure luck 

hammer F5

First time in ages got a coach ticket and I try every year, no way I’m driving home on Monday. 
 

F5 is your best mate, give it some.

[Tartan_Glasto]

I’ve kept checking my emails just in case this evening as my transaction froze as I pressed to proceed with payment…

Think I now need to accept it was a no go.

[fraybentos1]

I used an auto refresher and I liked it cause it meant I could concentrate elsewhere. Was awful trying to get tix even when i got through.Kept saying they were gone. Think i got the last 4 from bristol

[Trunks1993]

congrats on those who were successful. however, an unnerving amount of people  weren’t so lucky. of at least 50 people I know personally (and most were previous attendees) none managed tickets!?

I was hammering f5 before I clicked the Wednesday coach button. Think I fucked up and should’ve waited for the button to respond maybe?

I had three independent devices on Chrome, not a sniff. Microsoft Edge on the laptop sealed the deal. Probably a complete coincidence but first time I've ever mixed up the browsers. Chrome has never worked for me. 

[Pipine]

The Wednesday coach link posted on here this week worked dead on 6pm for me, just luck I guess, using chrome with just one tab open.  I was stunned to see it appear so quickly!  This is after years of never seeing the booking page.  

[TheGoodWillOut]

I know its stupid and it is down to pure luck but almost resigned to the fact i'll be ticketless again come sunday. glass definitely feeling more than half empty 😔

[kingcrawler]

I saw a tweet from someone who got tickets saying they just let the page refresh automatically every 20 seconds rather than hammering F5. It’s a chaotic approach but it does show that for all the tips, sometimes it’s just pure luck.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

I actually feel less disappointed than I thought I would given how much I think about Glasto. 

Somehow tonight felt just like the dress rehearsal for Sunday and as I at least got through to selecting cities, it's a positive sign for the next try.

Then there's also the resale. 

Still two bites at the cherry!

[Joey Peeps]

Got through to the location page about 6.15, furiously trying various cities the length and breadth of Britain to no avail. All tickets allocated. The coach sale is an extra level of hellish angst, with they’d bin it and stick them back in the main pot. Not entirely sure people travelling to towns miles from their home just to bag a golden ticket, as happens, is all that green anyway?

[shivroy]

as soon as the button showed up for the wednesday tickets popped up i clicked it and got in immediately, was so shocked i almost didn't write in the right registration info.

 

Fucked up and got single tickets instead of return ones but im in and that's what matters. I emailed them about changing that but not sure if I emailed the right email and fairly sure it's a fools errand anyways. Has anyone ever managed to change from a single to a return ticket?

I did exactly the same thing. Kept getting 'All tickets allocated' and weirdly options for some places to choose between either 0 or 3 tickets.

At least the main sale is only two pages that need to be loaded instead of three. So, if you got that far once, hopefully you can go one better Sunday.

You can just book a return anyway with National Express? They offer far better departure times on the Monday and I doubt you'd pay a big difference in price. Maybe an extra 15%.

Agree with this. Perhaps the coach tickets should be limited to people who live within a catchment area of each departure town...

It's great for me, as I am within walking distance of the departure point, but of course, some of my group will be travelling further to get to the departure point. At least they won't be making a detour to get the coach, but it definitely happens that some people travel away from the festival to get a coach.

50 cuid deposit an option in general sale?

[MaxPower]

Anyone know roughly how many coach tickets go on sale versus general?
