If you go to the site and join a queue, for general admission on the Sunday, assuming 90k tickets available and 6 purchased at a time, you’d need to be in the first 15,000 to get tickets. so if you’re not within the first 15k(ish) you may as well give up straight away right?

Going to attempt coach tickets first now and see how that goes.

 

Not that this is all likely however, say I managed to get coach tickets on the Thursday and general sale on the Sunday. Am I able to cancel the coach ones and keep the general sale ones okay?

Unfortunately, you won't know where you are in the queue

not necessarily because you dont know how much outside help those people have , and it looks like you wont know the number in the queue anyway

Firstly, no, because you don't know that everyone is buying 6. It could be fewer, it could even be zero - if a group gets sorted early doors, then they may also have multiple other sessions ahead of you in the queue that get abandoned.

 

Secondly, no, because (as best we can tell) you won't be given a number so you've no reliable way of knowing where you are in the queue.

Feel like pure sh*t just want to press f5

But as mentioned previously it seems a large and ever increasing number were getting them via the hack method which would do the exact same thing … this takes out that option 

They’d already fixed the hack, this wasn’t required.

Ah didn’t know we won’t know the queue number position.

 

I’d definitely prefer it not to change!

[Dan190984]

This is similar to the NFL uk tickets. I’ve been 180k in the queue before and purchased. 
 

There’s no way of knowing what’s ahead of you that might drop out for multiple reasons like multiple people from the same group who drop out once one is successful or multiple devices. 
 

edit: I also think this is sh*t and is going to be a pain in the ass when people get through and it crashes at payment and bumps you to the back of the queue a la Oasis

There will be loads with multiple devices and loads who will fail at payment so much higher than that I would say. 500k upwards then perhaps go back to bed.

I wouldn’t give up <500k. 
 

actually. Give up regardless of your queue position. Don’t even bother trying you won’t get a ticket.

No.

Once your reg number has tickets it will be unable to buy more tickets

It can't work that way. Lots of ISPs use CGNAT which means lots of different customers share the same external IP.

It’s what killed my oasis ticket buying, my isp was blocked by Ticketmaster see and also twickets.

You could be anywhere in the queue as long as you are on the site before it goes live. No need to refresh.   Once the all tickets allocated notice is posted I think you refresh for all that go back in the pot, sure I read that on the info. 
 

Welcome to Glasto bingo. 

[stuie]

Maybe all those people who left in the Sunday exodus won't be bothering to come back next year. 

 

SZA might have done you all a solid and flattened off the demand!

Loads of good insight here, but a couple of points from me, having used bots in the past to automate purchases. 

1. IF they assign queue numbers or even give you an idea as to how far along in the queue you are, people will be selling their queue positions almost immediately once tickets go on sale. Glastonbury is one of the few events where demand massively exceeds supply and tickets are *almost* un-saleable for profit on the secondary market. I know of people utilising bots, scripts and more to increase their chances for previous sales, and also know of people selling these tools in order to help others increase their chances. I'm confident that selling queue slots on the morning of the sale will be very popular and very profitable too, so don't be surprised when this happens and therefore has a knock-on effect on the demographic attending the festival. Basically if you've got the money and desperately want to attend, jump on twitter on sunday morning and you'll easily end up with tickets, but probably closer to a dynamic pricing level of cost!

2. You can no longer help people outside your group of 6 purchase tickets, as it will put you to the back of the queue once you've purchased/refreshed etc. This means a lot of the larger groups/syndicates will theoretically have a lesser chance of getting tickets, but not sure I'm totally correct here.

Special place in hell for these folk

I am really riled by this - what is wrong with the world? Although theoretically people shouldn't mind this as they don't mind the back-of-the vanners either.

[Bobs]

I guess the problem is, this forum will probably see a drop in success.

 

The planning usually works, but I've tried for every year since my last festival and haven't seen a booking page.

 

From a selfish perspective, I'm seeing this as a huge plus. It means 6 of us can have a crack at breaking the code. 

 

It may also be sheer chaos and a complete mess.

 

But I still have zero faith in SeeTickets to let you on the site, let alone get a place in the queue.
