Based on a sample size of 1, I think it's coincidence. I did the same thing and got nowhere.   

Don't know as it's just 'affordable' that there's demand for, Love Fields have sold out of their PYO too!!! We decided a while ago that we want to save, to do a big US trip, for the OH's 40th in October, rather than treat Glasto as our main holiday, so we were going to camp in general this year. But just went on to have a nosey, and they've sold out of PYO, Motorhomes and their pre erected bell tents etc too. We've stayed there the last couple of years, and they've never sold out entirely on ticket day before. 

I don't know what you mean?     I couldn't agree with you more. Oddly enough though, he probably does more annual mileage on the roads than two salesmen / women put together, and whose geographical area covers the whole of the UK, and has never had an accident. I'm not defending his driving, just stating a fact. If I steer the subject to Glastonbury, I wonder just how many 'thousands' of people are risking it by driving home on the Monday morning / afternoon? When I used to go (and I was always the driver, apart from once) I never indulged on the Sunday. Personally I take road safety very seriously.

There are very few festivals in the world that Fender isn’t big enough to headline. Probably none in Europe.

Believe wording of my original post wasn’t clear. Website didn’t shut down my partner, we both mutually agreed that they’d shut their session and computer down so that it was just the one laptop (mine) on the WI-FI while phone and iPad stayed connected to 4G as I was progressing pretty smoothly. This was on Chrome. Other browsers/sessions barely got to four bars.    The thing that’s making me scratch my head a bit is whether it’s a sheer coincidence that refreshing the chrome session just before the timer hit zero meant that I got a better place in the queue, as I’d left the others alone (no refreshes). My phone and iPad on 4G didn’t get beyond 4 whereas my Chrome session hit 30 bars (I recounted my screenshot and I initially thought it was 27 but it’s actually 30).    Also it’s definitely not a rumour about the backspacing. I was being facetious when I said it was a friend of a friend etc but it’s someone I know and trust, and their friend managed to get three groups tickets by backspacing. That’s one individual who managed to get 18 tickets from one session. Lots of evidence here of the same and on Reddit and so on.    It’s a ridiculous loophole and kind of beggars belief that See have somehow managed to implement a much better system and yet it’s still hobbled because of an oversight which meant that other people weren’t in with a chance even if they were literally right at point of getting through. They need to enforce some kind of system that takes successful buyers to another landing page where it isn’t possible to backspace at all or it invalidates the cookies from being able to access the queue again. Of course, this is more technically tricky but is there not a way of them seeing SESSION=CONFIRMED TICKET PURCHASES - MOVE THEM TO NEW PAGE.    I’ve done everything right in terms of being organised with my group and there’s three groups we agreed to help out if one of us were lucky and others still waiting in queue, but it does feel like a kick in the teeth that one individual potentially managed to buy up all the Greggs sausage rolls (figuratively speaking) in the one go whilst everyone else in the queue behind them are just like “You greedy pig.”   not saying at all that we’re not all hypocrites and would probably do something similar but at the very least remove from the equation what we all know to be true of ourselves - we can be greedy in very specific circumstances.
