Forgive me for being behind.  The queue system is still speculation? 

 

Correct. No confirmation from the festival or See yet and there may not be.
    Speculation is based on some subtle changes in the browser to server communications.

    It could be in preparation for the sale or it could simply be an overall technical upgrade of the See compute infrastructure.

Looks to be nothing, but nothing is stopping people from offering rewards in the current system.

 

I think we have had this discussion some time ago, maybe last year. The consensus seemed to be that offering rewards in the current system represented a trust risk: either the person buying the tickets needs to trust that the person wanting the tickets will reimburse them; or the person wanting the tickets needs to trust the person buying by sharing their card info.

That's why it currently works for ticket buying groups where everyone agrees to help each other out.
But wouldn't work for, say, a social media influencer and their followers.

Ah thank you dotdash79 and MikeA for update. I can't see them doing it. Somebody far far away in this thread said it could mean a lot of 1st timers getting through.  Which might make the tourist areas like SE corner even more congested.  I want lots of 1st timers. But congestion means it has to be balanced

How can you transfer a Queue ID?

[Suprefan]

If theyre going to switch it up its in for 2027 because they will have had 2 years to make the system better and to use it in many other onsales so that potential glasto ticket buyers will have more experience. If you botch this onsale with a new system you will have to make it right for the next one and thats pressure you dont need. Do the opposite. And its bad form to use this big of a sale to implement a new system.

- Follower shares a queue ID for an event that they either already have tickets for or are not interest in. No financial risk other than time.
- Requester gets queue ID from a follower. Either it's good and they get tickets or it's not and they move on.

 

How does one use the Queue ID? Does it go in the URL? Just asking in case I need to share one with someone in our syndicate

it gets tricky but there would have to be a glitch in the system to allow this to happen anyway. Coachella onsales had this loophole for a few years. If you got into the buy page and had finished your transaction, you could go back to the beginning and its a diff page url than when you started. It had the ability to be shared and there wasnt anything to stop the sharing of that url cause for some reason they didnt code it to have to check its the original persons token to id them.
