Wishful thinking, but do the green bars speed up the close you get to the front?

They should speed up as groups get tickets and close all their other sessions

So for future sales, my read on the situation is that if you don't start moving almost immediately, you've got very little chance of tickets. At 5.2 bars now, but the sold-out message will appear before I'm even at 10 bars. If you linger on 2 bars for the first 5-10 minutes of the sale, you might as well start looking at alternatives.

I think once you get over half way it goes quite quickly but good luck even getting there.

Love it.

 

Yep, let's go with that.

[LazyDavid]

Well that was a waste of time! Well done whoever somehow managed to get them

hate this new system, it doesnt reward the more dedicated people, you could just decide to open the lage at 8.59 and leave it, at least with the old system, those who were dedicated enough to sit by the laptop and constantly refresh were rewarded (although this looksl ike the 3rd festival in a row ive missed out so not much reward on either system for me latley)

In my case it did. We were at 2 bars for a while then started to pick up the pace. I was expecting to get in at 9.40 by the initial bar rate but we were in at 9.25.

My friend got in and got me a ticket. I never got past 2 bars.

Good luck everyone still in a queue.

[faymondo]

Well that was grim but at least we all had time for a group chat on What's app

I got my first movement to 3 bars at about 10 past 9 but then slowed to a crawl about halfway

[Kurosagi]

Perhaps my mistake was not having my phone on landscape for more bars?

[Someoni]

Tickets confirmed at 9.36

 

Sold out at 9.37

 

Jeeeeeez

I know statistically getting tickets is unlikely but having sat and still being at 2 bars feels a lot more painful than refreshing and getting nowhere
