Got my tickets at 8.50 am ........ Interested to see if anyone was earlier..........

I think last yr they only sold 1/2 the tickets on T day , I waited about 4 hrs to get them for 09 , so was gobsmacked when I heard they had sold out when I got tickets so early for this years . I think it speaks volumes for the festival as a whole that all tickets went in one day ........... CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!

According to seeticket order tracker, I ordered my six at 859.

Still spent the next couple of hours watching the madness from afar! Sad really =)

I clearly was in well ahead, my booking confirmation says:

3 ONLINE £50 DEPOSIT at £ 50.00 (Booked on the Friday 0th  )

Thats a full day at least before anyone else   Mind you, I'm not sure with 0th October is!

i was late.....

8:58am according to confirmation email ;-)

8:58 for me but as the site crashed after I entered my card details, it took until half 9 to tell me my reg. numbers had been used. Confirm e-mail didn't arrive until 9:48 so i was bricking myself. But definitely the easiest experience i've had buying Glasto tickets. Unlike my mates who somehow couldn't get through at all and now they've sold out are bummed out.

I just went onto order tracker to see when I booked and I was placed in a que!  I assume there are still a lot of people who don't have their confirmation e-mail.

I definately ordered my ticket before 9 though.

8:58 for me. Got a rather flustered call from one of my friends at 11am saying he'd spent all morning tyring to get through only to get onto the page but not have a registration number. He then spent all day trying to get on the reminder page only to get a blank page and then ended up without. Just me and the Mrs this time then. I hope we don't end up killing each other!!!

I ordered at 8.50am, but didn't get my confirmation email until 9.01 and 56 secs

[rock n roll star]

9.08 after one refresh  

[grchughes]

I got mine just before five to. Had a right panic before they said on their Facebook page about people not getting to the confirmation screen though.

9:00am spot on! I was the first Legal person who didnt break the rules to have a ticket i guess!


I hear anyone who got there tickets before 9am will have theres cancelled!

0858

[pie_and_a_pint]

0859 apparently, although it took till 0913 for me to see the 'these registration numbers have already paid a deposit' screen.  Defintely record-early for us!

[grchughes]

Because they started selling tickets at around 8.50am this year (and last year even earlier IIRC), it wouldn't surprise me if the servers crashed even earlier next T-day (for the 2011 festival) as word spreads about how many people secured tickets before they were supposed to go on sale. They'll probably run out of 'nodes' before 9am!

There's no 'legal' time, there's no 'breaking the rules'   once the tickets are on sale, they're on sale! *sighs*

Mine says 08.58 but it was defo earlier than that....

Are you a Lawyer then?????

I also heard that anybody who ordered a ticket on the hour wins a Prize and get to choose one prize out of cleaning the Longdrops on the Monday Morning or listening to Coldplay on your own at a secret gig......

Make sure you get rite under the rim with that loo brush!!  

[cromwell60]

8.57 according to the tracker, with the confirmation email coming at 9.25.  I had wondered if booking sunday monday off work, setting alarm and being infront of PC at 8am was a bit sad and over the top, especially as last year was so easy and chilled out. But just had a feeling, and very glad I did now.  

Really feel for those who struggled and didnt get any, I remember how bad it was in 2004 when it took me nearly 2days solid before getting them, but at least I did get them in the end. Hope more go on sale and everyone from yesterday gets sorted.

I was hoping to use smilies in my post but they didnt work! so sorry if you got a bit scared by the thought that your tickets were to be cancelled! i did mean it as a joke!

aparently though the person that did buy the 100,000 ticket has to get the beers in for everyone though!
