Kurosagi Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Yep, another brutal sale with nothing to show for it...one year I'll be back. Have a fab festival those that got through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3mmo Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Won't be able to resale it for us, between the group we have 2 kids and one autistic so are very reliant on specific accommodation which I guess won't be available that late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikem2 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Looking forward to my 10 year anniversary of failing to get tickets next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeeeve71 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I've lost count, that must be over 10 years of trying and failing. Still, nice to have discovered this forum. Every cloud...

thewomble Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Absolutely gutted, none of us plus helpers got past the holding page 😭😭😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SophieBee Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Nothing for us sadly - hope it's not another five year gap before our next one. Congrats to everyone who got through - you'll have the best time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adster Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Its a stupid system. I dont see why they dont just get all the ticket requests and then pick some at random. The only reason for doing it this way is to generate hype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiff Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Ive got a ticket and was trying for others today. Payment problems again thou! In after 5mins but won't take payment. My credit card showing 4 attempts of £1. 2 years in a row the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way at least rewards persistence, even if most people still end up disappointed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason for doing it this way is to generate hype Some people argue that a lottery system would reduce their chances, but I think it's got sooooo difficult to get tickets now that a 1 in 10 chance of a ticket with a true lottery system sounds like a cracking idea right now!

devli Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 The problem is that this system massively favours big groups. 30 people trying for 30 people have 15 times as much chance as getting a ticket as 2 people trying for 2. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadimmock Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 A bit of a catastrophe here. We just got the holding page but a friend of ours got through. However my wife's postcode was rejected despite her having a registration lookup confirming that postcode a week or so ago. Did anyone else have this issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 the run has ended! Resale is so little chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e9t3 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Managed to get 5 tickets at 9:56, first time attempting with auto-refreshers Using separate 7 different IPs: 5 using auto-refreshers (4 on Chrome, 1 on Firefox) with varying refresh rates between 1.1 - 2 seconds One device manually refreshing on iPhone (Safari), probably around 30 refreshes a minute One manually refreshing on Android (Chrome), similar to above It was the Safari device which got us through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if we believe the festival statement they said they rearranged so more people could re-register etc (despite them having received multiple emails asking you to check your details etc). Logic would suggest more people signed up or re-registered and therefore would be trying today? It was a main story on the BBC News alongside the Madge rumours to get it even more in the public domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomBunny Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 No joy for our group either. 30 plus of us trying and not a sausage! It is what it is. Resale here we come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlastoEls Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 First 'no' for me / us in years, was always going to happen at some point. Got the reg page about a minute in but it hung, and hung, and no 'back', then refresh would resurrect the session, sadly. Congrats to those who got in!

Kurosagi Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Time to find £10k down the back of the sofa for when they do an ebay auction for some tickets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr234 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Got to be a better method than have everyone waste an hour of their morning constantly refreshing. Queue system would probably work better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1984 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Keeping an eye on the page as people on here claimed they got tickets around this time last year… Doubt it will happen but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickey Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Second year failed to get anywhere, let alone tickets. Resale time (along with possibly, cider, chocolate and whatever other competitions there are.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
