One thing that would help to alleviate the big group advantage is that I would absolutely say you should have to be the lead booker to book for a group. At the moment you can split your syndicates into groups of 6, as soon as one group gets in then everyone switches to look for the next group and so on.   If you had to be logged in and could only book for yourself + 5 (not any 6 people) I think the big group syndicates would struggle a lot more.   would also mean that your queue place is tied to your registration not your device, which would in turn stop people sharing login details with a big spreadsheet syndicate.   The only way to beat that system would be to register multiple times, but they could get around that by not allowing more than one registration with the same name and same postcode. I suspect the number of people that share both the same name and same postcode with someone else who signs up is absolutely minimal and open to being overridden by the staff. 

mine progressively moved from 9 and ended up at 27 bars before selling out. I was very close but not close enough. 

If we are talking about my mate that got through, he had a single session open on his phone (he had other sessions open with other devices in other connections, but single connection on 5g was what got through). Jumped from 2 bars to 20 all of a sudden, then was in within 2 minutes with steady progress of the bars. None of his other sessions came remotely close. No point looking for patterns (there is no pattern!). Just random luck (which by the accounts on this thread, you can tilt in your favour a bit by ignoring the advice of See and the festival in terms of both refreshing and the number of connections!). 

Quite a few of my friends are in and I'm happy for them. I just don't like camping so wasn't planning to try. Sympathies though to those who put the work in and got nowt.

My guess is Leave The World Behind by Axwell and Ingrosso (or Swedish House Maffia, or whatever they are, maybe one of them).
