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.

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.

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.

Yes. Everyone pays the balance individually and whoever doesnt pay doesnt go!

Best of luck in the morning all..

.. bag of nerves as usual!

Not feeling massively optimistic!

bodhrandude · 05-10-2019 9:55pm

That would be a good act to get for Glastonbury, Jerry and the Undisputed Pterodactyl's.

Yeah, took about 5 minutes to get to holding page alone, and didn't get past that!

Good suggestion. I'm unsure whether it's an issue with See Tickets or whether there's no system that can deal with two million people trying for tickets at the same time. I tend to think the former, basically just pot luck and not necessarily skewed towards fast servers given the people I know who've been lucky in the last few years.

BurtMacklin · 06-10-2019 12:27am

Lads, do I refresh the page bang on 9am or what's the tactic?

SteelyDanJalapeno · 06-10-2019 1:52am

Can someone post the link I need to be on for 8:55?

Still Ill · 06-10-2019 2:53am

Good luck everyone! Thought I was in on Thursday... Diligently put in all the registration numbers, then I got a 'sold out' screen. Hoping for better luck in the morning!

Do I use a visa debit or credit card based in Dublin?

Credit card only.

No tactic - refresh often but not too often.

Having one laptop, one tab this year with Autofill ready, and will refresh every 3 seconds or so (will wait til page reloads to completion at a minimum).

Then i'll have phone on 4G in background and for a change of tactic, just gonna leave that going with SeeTickets 20 second auto-refresh.

Soulsun · 06-10-2019 8:04am

Go Team!

mossy464 · 06-10-2019 8:11am

Do people still refresh manually when you're on the 20 second auto refresh page?

Basq · 06-10-2019 8:16am

Yeah, definitely. Often but don't hammer it either.. and wait til page fully renders (you don't want a refresh when you've gotten through, but it's slow to render).

credit card only for international bookings

BurtMacklin · 06-10-2019 8:52am

Do you need to click the link at exactly 9 or will it auto refresh for me as I've clicked it already? Sorry for dumb questions.

Super lad well done

El Weirdo · 06-10-2019 9:17am

do you refresh the hold page??????!!!

BurtMacklin · 06-10-2019 9:17am

Putting in registration details but won't move onto next screen after I hit proceed. Any advice?

Soulsun · 06-10-2019 9:20am

This is where I am at... do I refresh?

Soulsun · 06-10-2019 9:23am

How long will it take to sell out?

I kept refreshing, got in after 20 minutes.

mooseknunkle · 06-10-2019 9:28am

I've been stuck on this site cant be reached page since 9,well done to anyone who got them.

Seathrun66 · 06-10-2019 9:29am

Wow. First time I've succeeded since 2014. Got through at 9.22 and then nervously got details through. Can't believe I'm getting to the big one after five years of failure. Good luck to all still trying.

That happened me. I didn't touch it and it moved on to next step after 30sec or so.

Did you get them ?

Nope

I'm letting it work away after I click proceed but it eventually times out. Then repeat repeat.

A Neurotic · 06-10-2019 9:33am

Just over half sold by 09:27 as per Glasto twitter account, slower than the last couple of years where they've been sold out after 30mins IIRC

mossy464 · 06-10-2019 9:34am

I had 3 devices on the go. On the laptop I had 4 browsers open. Chrome, IE, Edge and Firefox. Going around in circles refreshing and eventually just stuck to one browser continually pressing F5 and the page appeared to enter details.

Nervously entered the details but it went through. Can't believe it.

A Neurotic · 06-10-2019 9:34am

Wait, no, sold out now

Trigger Happy · 06-10-2019 9:35am

Yup, sold out now. Ah well...

mooseknunkle · 06-10-2019 9:36am

Sold out

06-10-2019 9:40am

Sold out

Basq · 06-10-2019 9:43am

Didn't get sniff of a booking page.. my mobile on 4G never got past 'this site cannot be reached'. Had VPN open for Manchester (as girlfriend was using our WiFi un-VPN'd) and two browsers (Chrome, Safari) refreshing.

But bro in Oz got through and got us sorted about 9.20am. Autofill for the second year is the way to go!

Commisserations to those who didn't get through.. but there's always the resale. I've had luck there in the past.

Yeah, sold out similar to last year in the end. That may have been a tweet composed but slow to send.

Alkers · 06-10-2019 9:43am

Got 5 out of 13 groups in our big group through, not ours alas. Got as far as entering registration details on two devices but times out before card details.
Best of luck to all going

martco · 06-10-2019 9:44am

5 years of trying & failing. 4 people at it this morning and still no success. that's the last go. fupp Glastonbury, pile of overrated sh1t3.

MadYaker · 06-10-2019 9:45am

One of my mates in the UK came through for me yet again! I couldn't get off the holding page on my laptop connected to my phone and my desktop on the house wifi couldn't even get on to the holding page.

Mrs Shuttleworth · 06-10-2019 9:46am

No luck again. Was at "site can't be reached" then holding page briefly twice. Using UK broadband also.

Bizarrely when it's then "sold out" there's no problem in accessing the page.

This annual scrum would be OK if they're selling in the manner of Ticketmaster but where photographs and personal details are held on file for years the Eavis's are taking the p*ss.

They need to start doing a staggered sale or first option to blocks of registrations from set time periods.

Ha! Delighted for you, that's some dedication.

I wonder why glasto persist with using Seetickets? It clearly isn't up to the task.

My friends cousin got through from Saudi Arabia in no time as well, Maybe if you get someone abroad to try might increase the chances or go on your holidays when they go on sale :pac::pac:
