  1. Solid enough lineup, plenty to see if I manage to get a ticket including headliners each night, but not much wow factor there. Felt a lot more gutted seeing last year’s lineup while being ticketless. Disappointing not to see Pulp and thought Placebo might finally get the nod given their tour dates. Idles vs Fontaines is a strange clash. On Coldplay - they always put on an incredible show and I think its great that the festival have a massive act that loves playing there while swerving most, if not all, other festivals.
  2. Yeah - got the last 2 blocks in my local co-op on deadline day, but was a bit hesitant to buy initially as was expecting a big Glastonbury sticker on the front. Hopefully they've been entered.
  3. Anyway, finally over ticket day failure so can embrace this thread again. Off to hunt for some cheese before the deadline.
  4. I've been using the pay as you go sim in my main phone ever since! Still not won anything through the app, mind. Just got a new phone but Vodafone wouldn't let me pass their credit checks for some reason. Reluctantly had to go back to Three.
  5. If there are cheaters exploiting the system then the system isn't as good as it can be? Surely they should be called out on this and work to ensure it doesn't happen again? I don't mind losing out to high demand, as I did last year. But I find it difficult putting so much effort into sales, resales, buying sim cards, chocolate bars etc etc and then losing out to cheats block buying tickets, which is what has happened here
  6. That's all true but unfortunately the easier (and less costly?) option is to just brush it under the carpet.
  7. I'm surprised how many on here are ok with this and seemingly accepting of it. This is a big issue and clearly will have allowed large groups to block buy tickets for entire spreadsheet groups. There were links and instructions going round on whatsapp, discord, reddit etc. No that doesn't mean we would otherwise have been guaranteed a ticket, but I do find it odd that I don't know a single person irl, across a number of groups, that got beyond a holding page this year. If the festival truly believes in fairness (as stated 2 weeks ago when they postponed the sale), all tickets bought on the spare server should be traced and cancelled. But they won't because they just want the tickets sold as fast as possible and See don't want the negative fallout.
  8. A friend just told me someone they know got in via a link posted online that took them straight to the booking page, and got 6 lots of 6 tickets. Is this related to the IP address exploit or a separate issue? Either way I'm pretty pissed about all this. I feel like I've been cheated out of a ticket.
  9. Didn't get close to a booking page, again. Gutted. That's now 6 failed sales in a row, despite joining a ticket group for the last 4. The IP exploit today obviously not helping matters.
  10. In the interests of fairness, they should cancel all today's tickets and redo the sale in 2 weeks time. (Not bitter, honest!)
  11. And something that is on this (sorry - low res but taken from the official site). Personally I just use the 'click to stop refreshing' function on auto-refresh plus

    Keeping a close eye on my inbox but don't want to use up all my ticket luck too soon this week
  13. I might be wrong, but I'm not convinced most of these people had actually confirmed their registrations in the first place - it was an (arguably convoluted) several step process. You had to not only look up your email on the See Tickets checker, but also follow the link on the email received and confirm the details. I suspect people were doing the lookup, getting the email confirming registrations against that email address, and thinking that was job done. Add to that a bunch of people who only tried checking after the deadline, at which point the See checker had seemingly already been disabled.
  14. True, but you just know they would get the gig
  15. As much as this is frustrating, no. Ticketmaster would be a disaster.
  16. Good luck everyone! Woke up feeling nervous, especially after missing out last time. Currently debating whether to go to my parents house later and get some extra wifi in use
  17. Don't forget the Michael Eavis finale! I'd happily watch them again as they are always great live, but I was thinking similar tbh. They nailed 2016 and it would be difficult for them to surpass it, especially considering the staging on the current tour isn't much different.

    Taylor swift

    Only made the waitlist for Wembley and Anfield. Good to see a lot of success on here but pretty frustrating to have just missed the midnights sign-up when it happened all those months ago. Looks like that made all the difference.
  19. Thought similar about the sound at the start - briefly wondered if I should have stood further back, but soon seemed alright. Really enjoyable set, though seemed to fly by. Sunrise probably my highlight though plenty to pick from. Less enjoyable was the fact it was £6 for a 330ml can. Didn't bother going back to the bar again, and just held position through Baxter and Pulp.
  20. Until this year I've never struggled to get a ticket, usually securing them in the first coach sale. Last year I got through again for friends in the resale. This year I didn't get a sniff in any sale, and did everything I could, including joining a ticket group. The resale in particular was brutally tough with the new payment system. I appreciate I may have just been 'unlucky' but some people who still think persistence will guarantee them a ticket are in for a rude awakening in October, unfortunately. That said, a ballot is the worst idea imaginable. It would just become like Wimbledon or the London Marathon. Everyone would be trying their luck, and you'd end up going once a decade.

    Lana Del Rey Curfew

    Ah for some reason I thought it was because Murder Capital were having technical issues. I tuned in and the band were on stage testing their gear for a while. Shame they had to cut their set down, but they were great

    Lana Del Rey Curfew

    Macca 2022 went on longer. His scheduled finish was the usual 23.45 but he was still working his way through Hey Jude gone midnight, and then there was a 5 song encore.

    The Levels

    There was a small feature on the Levels and Silver Hayes during the BBC2 coverage. Can't remember what day/time though, so not much help!
  24. I was thinking the same trio, though people seem to think Taylor is unlikely now. So I'll adjust to: Dua Lipa - Blur - Madonna
