Sorry I meant my group of friends have eight of us registered and ready to try the sale. It's not a bad idea to form a new group here.

Layne · 03-10-2019 02:24PM

I know it is last minute (story of my life!!) but if anybody is interested in forming a group for this evening's coach sale please PM me.
I am in a group for Sunday's sale but just me and the young fella gunning for tickets for the coach sale this evening ðŸ˜•ðŸ˜•.

Not a sniff.

mossy464 · 03-10-2019 05:28PM

All coach travel sold out now

Layne · 03-10-2019 05:29PM

Well that was a bit of a disaster....

Mrs Shuttleworth · 03-10-2019 05:30PM

No mercy from the Glasto Gods.

Did anyone get sorted?

Relatively calm compared to what Sunday will be like. I'm generally an optimist but not in terms of Glasto tickets. Good luck people. Hope some of you here get lucky.

MadYaker · 03-10-2019 05:32PM

I think 3 or 4 of our groups got through but not the one I was in. I’ll try again on Sunday but I’m not massively fussed as I have a spot stewarding with oxfam.

How many groups did you have?

MadYaker · 03-10-2019 05:38PM

11 groups of 6 on the spreadsheet I was working off. 5 got through.

Wow that's a massive amount of people trying! I thought we had a lot with 3 groups!

Sadly thats what happens when you have See Tickets selling the tickets ,possibly the worst ticket company in the UK after AXS.

For those who have been successful before:

Did you F5/refresh after you hit the holding page, or just before?

All of our group got the holding page but no further. Wondering if to approach it differently on Sunday.

To be honest I only know people in 3 of the groups. One girl in my group got through but the page crashed when she put in card details. Seetickets system just isn’t up to the task of dealing with the glasto sale unfortunately.

Yip, Seetickets is a good website for low demand events and they are a good company but their website is rubbish for high demand events.

One of our group for through for all of us. Have the confirmation. Thank ****. That.... Was.... BRUTAL..

Good luck to everyone on Sunday. Remember: have your group. Don't message eachother unless it is confirming tickets booked. Don't message saying " any luck" or "I can't get through".. Time spent reading that text is time wasted. If you do get through keep trying to confirm. If someone did get through and it died when they entered card details it still may have gotten through, keep at it but keep up hope. They may have completed.

Remember the resale. Everyone assumes it is a tiny amount of tickets (it is) and assumes it's pointless to even try ( it isn't). I have gotten tickets TWICE from resale because everyone assumes it's a lost cause

MadYaker · 03-10-2019 11:47PM

Only one person? Surely one or two others got through?

God I hope so......

MadYaker · 04-10-2019 12:36AM

It gets worse every year, I’d say we’ll be lucky to get one or two more groups tickets.

thebusher · 04-10-2019 06:13AM

No joy here either. Had 6 devicrs going. 2 friends in uk trying also :-(

Thinking of just using the phone on Sunday as it worked last year.

The Nal · 04-10-2019 08:15AM

No joy here between about 10 of us. I got to put the regs in and "buy tickets" but got turfed out. Roll on Sunday.

mossy464 · 04-10-2019 08:42AM

No joy either. Only had 4 of us trying. Not holding out much hope for Sunday but we'll give it a go. Will have to get every device on the go

A Neurotic · 04-10-2019 08:45AM

What are people's thoughts on holding page strategies? I used to refresh it every second like mad but yesterday I decided to let it do its 20 second thing. I've never had luck with either technique so who knows...

04-10-2019 12:53PM

I've not had any luck since 2014 and don't expect to on Sunday. Which is fine as I've been several times in the past. I'm also not convinced that it's down to super fast broadband service going by the pals I've seen get tickets over the past five years. Seems like pot luck.

But is it time for them to bring in a lottery system? To favour those who haven't been before or not been for 2/3 years. Block on anyone going two years in a row? Each successful person can take along one (registered) friend. Or are the logistics for that too difficult? Doesn't seem so as they've managed to make a success of both the registration system and the anti-touting.

It already is a lottery system.

What phone number is it? Can’t see it on website.

MadYaker · 04-10-2019 01:15PM

He means using his phone as a WiFi hotspot

lbj666 · 04-10-2019 07:29PM

So guys, i am in a group of 6 theres a chance if i do get a ticket i might not be able to make it, i presume that if the full balance of my ticket isnt paid for by April its just my ticket that gets released and not the other 5 people? Its not clear on the website.

Yeah just yours..theres will be fine..think your partial refund goes back to lead booker.
No luck for us either after being succesful the last 3 times..only got as far as the holding page

Given they operate on a registration system its only fair that a block of tickets (say 20%) be made available to long time registrations who've never made a purchase. It would take the heat out of the annual scrum overall and less hostility to See Tickets etc.
