Just in case we don’t get tickets… what European festivals can people suggests that would be good for a mixed group of late 20s/early 30s with a fairly wide variety of music tastes? Probably a slight bias towards pop, Indie, dance and RNB but not so much heavy metal. But we are very mixed in terms of taste so it needs to have something for everyone.

 

dont put the bad energy out there yet!  you will get in!

Pukkelpop and Werchter both good.

Love the positivity! I just always love to have a contingency plan in my pocket so that if it doesn’t go to plan on Sunday we can think “ah well, let’s plan X instead” rather than total disappointment.

Thank you, love the look of the RW headliners as much as “Rock” in the name might put some off.

It’s not been particularly rock-y for a few years now. Plenty of pop and dance acts over the last few years.

Looking at the past few lineups, I think RW and Sziget are the sort of vibe I’m looking for.

Didn’t get past the third blob.

It is really annoying reading posts about people who were trying who didn’t even want coach tickets.

Selfish pricks snarling it up for genuine ticket buyers.

Slightly twisted logic? The only people stopping you getting tickets were people in front of you in the queue that were actually buying tickets - anyone not buying tickets had zero effect on your chances... I'll be delighted if everyone in front of me in the queue on Sunday is just browsing!

 

From my own experience, and from reading the experience of others, far from being snarled up, technically the new system worked pretty flawlessly (and yes, I was trying to get tickets, and no, I didn't get any). Roll on Sunday!

Where have you read this?
 

What is the insinuation here? They still sold the same amount of tickets so are you just saying that they mainly went to people who don’t have a social media presence?

 

Change browsers. 

 

Coachella pre sales 10+ years ago had queue it and the exploit  was there. They patched it after about 3 years. See doesnt know the issues til it works in real time. Thats the whole thing. You could simulate it but its not the same

Adding on a bit more from my experience:

 

We had 2 laptops with single tabs on the WiFi and two phones on 4g connected here... in Vietnam. I also had a family member in the UK on one laptop and one phone on 4g. All single tabs on each. 

 

Judging by that, I think you are *ok* with more than 1 device connected on the same network. Accessing from abroad wasn't an issue either. I didn't try with a VPN.

 

All started out on two bars, before one of the laptops here in vietnam began to progress quickly every 30 seconds or so. Was about 5 past when we made it through to the booking site. Luckily the autofill/memory of my laptop had the reg numbers saved from a previous (failed) sale. Payment itself was easy and no issues. I seem to remember there was a log in for saved payment cards or something similar. Not sure if that's an option if you have a seetickets account. all done by 8 past. I tried a few minutes later to go back to the add registrations page but it kicked me out and back in the queue.

 

After we got through, the wifi device in the UK got through at about 13 past.  Didn't  have the reg numbers of anyone else to continue.

 

Seemingly it is all pretty random.

No joy in Thailand last night.  Will head to Laos to see if that helps on Sunday.

We managed to get one group out of 4. Most didn't get past 2 bars. I got to 10 bars on one device and 20 on another but still nowhere near the 37 (I think) needed to get to the front of the queue. The device that got to 20 bars just seemed to freeze when it got there but I suspect this was because most tickets had already gone by then and people at the front of the queue were taking longer trying all options.

 

A couple of questions...

 

Can we confirm that if you were on the holding page (glastonburyseetickets) before 5pm you needed to refresh to get the timer? 

 

Anybody that did get through, did you get the option to use ApplePay?
