This would be possible to game with loads of registrations but with better checks on setting up registrations and managing them  this would help.

 

Maybe tie a registration to a mobile number, and have 2FA.

 

youre also giving this more to younger punters cause older attendees arent always the most trch savvy. Who says theer wont be a giant glitch that gives a ton of errors on verifying and youve got a giant swath of people on the outside while the ones who avoided it are holding tickets. And youre going to make See have to send verifications to global phone numbers? Like the person in Nepal has to get an sms. Think about it.

Thanks for the clarification. 
 

Cameras or facial recognition it’s all OTT surveillance. Any way it’s possible to avoid the one on the self serve tills

Verification on registration then a personalised queue link for the sale. Only one link per registration, would help limit the number of connections.

 

I think it's the first time Glastonbury would have any idea how many sessions were trying to connect, taking that down to the registration level would give an idea of the numbers actually trying.

Nepal has some of the best mobile coverage in the world, just an FYI.

it still wont matter. You are severely underestimating how ahead the other side is. Unless you think like them, you wont have a leg up. Theyre really only concerned about resale security. Other than that they just want to sell all their tickets one way or another. Why dont they do something about the free labor. Oh right, they know thats how they stay afloat, so they let an extra 50,000 people onsite to make it happen for the rest who paid.

 Just saying. You still have to have the infrastructure to send out the messages everywhere, regardless of coverage. If that fails then you got issues. Everyone now wants to add more layers to this and you have a larger margin for errors to arise.

Not necessarily hackers. 
 

these links are acquired by making thousands of requests to the waiting room, harvesting queue ids and then polling queue it with the IDs. You then pluck out the ‘direct link’ for the IDs which are at the front of the queue. 
 

They’re legitimate unique queue sessions obtained by a bot. 
 

Some bot owners will then sell these, but this person obviously had their fill and decided to dump them all on Reddit for anyone to use (you can only use each one once). I suspect they wanted to make a point about how easy this new system is to game for bot owners/developers who want to crack it. 
 

This system was particularly weak. 

Was this on the main glasto subreddit? I'm on there a lot and didn't come across this at all.
