Great start. Not on a VPN/shared connection of any kind. Personal laptop and home connection with only me and the missus, and she hasn't tried the page at all.

E: That is on Firefox. Works OK (for now) on Chrome.....

So do we need to press refresh bang on 6pm to get into the proper queue.. or will the page just flip over from the countdown to the queue progress bar without a reload?  How do you not end up just back at the end of the queue?

 

If you have page that says you are in the waiting room then don’t refresh. The page will auto refresh with you in a queue.

Do not refresh at 6!! It will refresh automatically.

I feel sick. Godspeed, team 🫡

Great day on which to have a parents' evening.

 

Needless to say, I will not be staying for the last two appointments and will be hotfooting it back to stare at my screen in time for 17:50!

@Pipine don’t refresh at 6 I think that puts you to the back of the queue according to the FAQ.  It should refresh automatically at 6 and give you your random place in the queue 

[MrZigster]

 So should we just sit on the "retrieve details"  page 'till six then?

[William Mann]

Seems sooooo wrong to not be refreshing the page now or later

I suspect it will turn into a waiting room lobby at some point over the next hour, but somebody here will say as soon as that happens so just keep watching and keep the faith!

 

Good luck everybody! 🫡

Ok no refreshing at 6.. just hang fire and hope for the best.

Yes. Seems ungodly on T-Day. 

Everything I knew before was a lie!

I would say you need to refresh to get the waiting room

Yes. This.  There is even a screenshot of the waiting room screen on the official ticket blurb they issued.

 

I'm pretty sure you'll need to refresh manually BEFORE 1800 to effectively 'join' the waiting room.

 

Once you're in the waiting room with the countdown to sale start then LEAVE IT ALONE!!!

Interesting, if you try and inspect the page. It doesn’t load after opening the inspector.

Yeah. Gives ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED

[dotdash79]

Just got the classic holding page

[gfa]

Good luck all 🙂 

[secondhandsausagedog]

In fact it only happens in chrome. Must be a setting in the dev tools I can’t be bothered finding. Ignore me.

[noplacelikehome]

Good luck everyone!

Yep, me too, but it reverted to the coach sale info/retrieve reg details page after about 20 seconds…don’t think I would leave til 17.59 to get on the page!
