There are very few festivals in the world that Fender isn’t big enough to headline. Probably none in Europe. -

Believe wording of my original post wasn’t clear. Website didn’t shut down my partner, we both mutually agreed that they’d shut their session and computer down so that it was just the one laptop (mine) on the WI-FI while phone and iPad stayed connected to 4G as I was progressing pretty smoothly. This was on Chrome. Other browsers/sessions barely got to four bars. The thing that’s making me scratch my head a bit is whether it’s a sheer coincidence that refreshing the chrome session just before the timer hit zero meant that I got a better place in the queue, as I’d left the others alone (no refreshes). My phone and iPad on 4G didn’t get beyond 4 whereas my Chrome session hit 30 bars (I recounted my screenshot and I initially thought it was 27 but it’s actually 30). Also it’s definitely not a rumour about the backspacing. I was being facetious when I said it was a friend of a friend etc but it’s someone I know and trust, and their friend managed to get three groups tickets by backspacing. That’s one individual who managed to get 18 tickets from one session. Lots of evidence here of the same and on Reddit and so on. It’s a ridiculous loophole and kind of beggars belief that See have somehow managed to implement a much better system and yet it’s still hobbled because of an oversight which meant that other people weren’t in with a chance even if they were literally right at point of getting through. They need to enforce some kind of system that takes successful buyers to another landing page where it isn’t possible to backspace at all or it invalidates the cookies from being able to access the queue again. Of course, this is more technically tricky but is there not a way of them seeing SESSION=CONFIRMED TICKET PURCHASES - MOVE THEM TO NEW PAGE. I’ve done everything right in terms of being organised with my group and there’s three groups we agreed to help out if one of us were lucky and others still waiting in queue, but it does feel like a kick in the teeth that one individual potentially managed to buy up all the Greggs sausage rolls (figuratively speaking) in the one go whilst everyone else in the queue behind them are just like “You greedy pig.” not saying at all that we’re not all hypocrites and would probably do something similar but at the very least remove from the equation what we all know to be true of ourselves - we can be greedy in very specific circumstances. -
Because there's many many more people who claim it worked for them. 54 people on one spreadsheet got tickets from 2 session tokens. There were countless other examples out there after this morning. It was suggested long ago that it was going to work, when the CDN was analyzed before the sale, due to the way it works. Instead of completely killing the session upon a succesful sale, it relied solely on a timer (which seemingly didn't work perfectly either!) Don't know why it didn't work for you, did you refresh as well, after hitting back? Did you go all the way back to the queue? Regardless, there are an overwhelming amount of people who claim that this is exactly how they secured so many groups on their spreadsheets, people I'd trust too. It should be an easy fix, shouldn't have been left that way in the first place, and hopefully it will be sorted. But I tend to believe the huge number who claim they used it, purely due to the sheer number of them. -

Yes, it was: I know this because I successfully used one of the links about a minute after the thread was created. Within minutes it was flooded with users and no one else I know who saw it successfully used it. I suspect the link was also very quickly removed by the mods, but the Google Sheets doc still existed earlier when I looked. -
I can't find the post but someone mentioned that they have been manifesting The 1975 playing the festival for 10 years. I love this & really hope the person got a ticket if they end up playing this year.
