All of our group that wanted to go by Coach got tickets, no-one got off the holding page on Sunday. So we need 4 tickets in resale. A pool of 10 people spread over 7 households (mainly VirginMedia BB) and probably 25 devices for a 60% success rate. Four of us work in IT so apart from using backdoors our setups were probably as good as you could get 100M, 500Mb & 1G VM - nothing, BT 1G - Nothing, Laptop tethered to 5G phone - bingo!
-
On the plus point - no matter how people got tickets, one thing the Festival has got right is having your picture and name printed on the ticket as it kills the resale market. Imagine what price tickets would be going for on resale sites.....

Pity none of our team managed to get past the holding page for the second time - We scored 5 x Coach tickets for those of us who could travel that way - but the three that needed General tickets (One being a teacher who can only get there from Friday onward) are still ticket less - hopefully April resale will be kinder. The macro takes all the panic of mistyping and speeds up the input so much it's worth the effort of setting it up...

Yes - see block some VPN's - fortunately the one they use where I work is OK so I'll be using that on Sunday as an extra route in.

Yes - delete all seetickets cookies and data just to be sure no nasties left over from Thursday's sale. I just setup a macro for each reg no & postcode as I couldn't work out how to get it to tab between fields. still significantly quicker than trying to cut-n-paste from notepad or sheets.
-
No - Just used a standard template for each field so I could correct stuff quickly.. made one template per reg no and postcode so I could do @1 @2 @3 @4 @5 in the fields as I tabbed down the page, tried doing the lot in one go but couldn't get it to work reliably... https://www.getmagical.com/share/shortcuts?shareId=85c9a907-408b-4146-b44e-7fa53adca32e

Because it's got a wide neck - the wider the better but other brands are available, just remember to rinse it out well before use as it stings... If the choice is a Lenor bottle or going out in the rain in the middle of the night when you're wasted, to paddle around in the long drops - I know what I'd do..

"Magical AI writer & Autofill" - it's a chrome extension.

It's either going to be a mud bath or like a desert. who knows with Global warming

If you contact customer services you might be able to convert it to a return ticket - There's always loads of empty seats on the coaches I've been on Monday morning. Having said that I've never had my ticket checked when leaving on the Monday anyway so if you know the departure times you might be able to blag it...

No - it's a plug-in. you setup a macro you trigger by a hotkey - in my case "#1" So when I got to the booking page I clicked in the first box and entered #1 - the macro then ran and filled in my reg no, tab, postcode, tab, next reg no, tab, postcode, tab, etc until all the boxes were filled in I checked and clicked purchase.

Team of five people trying from 4 different locations - think we had 10 devices between us. Winning machine was a Chromebook tethered to a 5G phone, manually refreshing at about 2-5 second intervals, with auto form filling extension to fill in booking page. Had the dreaded white screen at 18:00, pressed F5 randomly until it cleared - tickets in the bag at 18:04.

If you know - you know....

"Magical Autofill" is dead handy - you pre-program it with you nos & postcodes then if you get to the booking page - press a key and it'll fill in all the boxes for you, click purchase and you're away - no typing them in or cut-n-paste bollocks, less than 2 seconds from seeing the booking page to being on the payments one. I manually did the payment card stuff - just to be safe/sure. .

In 2016 you couldn't escape - the mud stuck you there for the entire set..... 2016 broke my missus - she's not been since (maybe this year if I can get her a ticket on Sunday).
