Despite me being successful the last 3 years im still scared ill miss out again.
I dont know why, i just fear ill be in the seetickets queue and just hit a screen that says "Sorry Sold Out".
I always get anxieties like this, am i alone?

How confident is everyone on getting a ticket?

[astrobaby]

pretty much papping my pants....
i normally camp outside hmv or similar places but this year they are all resorting to web sales and my local hmv has given up on it because of the local yobs that queue and cause havoc in the streets.

pretty certain my internet is not good enough to handle the ticket sales on the internet!

really crossing my fingers!   good look everyone!

Is it safe to assume (to settle my mind) that as long as im there for the release at 6:45 i should get one?

[RichieSpenno]

Get on about 15 mins early and keep refreshing.  Open lots of browsers and you should stand a decent chance.  

I'm double stressed as I got my ticket for last year just after the 08 fest in the presale.  But this year I have to go through tomorrows stress for myself aswell as my mate.

I'm literally touching cloth.  BRB.

I'm hopinh, i have two pretty fast laptops with good interenet speeds so they can handle the queue.

Has anyone actually failed despite being online at the right time?
Im always under the impression only a small number of people on at 6:45 get tickets and it essentially sells out instantly.

i think best bet is to be sat ready at half six, with every place possible to get tickets open and ready..... this is what im doing with my laptop...im setting up my mum on my computer hahah! just for extra chance!

i've got mine thankfully, but still having to go through the pain tomorrow because there was a mess up with buying them last year so need to get one for him.

Backdoor links = life savers

Thats only way I ever get through

I got my last year in the pre-sale at last years prices....have decided that's the safest bet year on

From previous experience - don't panic if you can't get on straight away and also don't use the official links (what I mean by that is the links on the official reading site etc..as that site will crash almost immediately)

Use this board as a source for tickets via the official outlets as there are always really helpful people on here who post backdoor links so to speak to help you get tickets via the official outlets a lot more easily & don't panic if you can't get any straight away...keep trying and also come Tuesday there is still bound to be loads of tickets available due to people's cards getting refused etc...again use this board as a source for links because people always post links on here - to the official / genuine ticket sites that is

i remember having to get one for my sister last year and it's really not that tricky if you're online early and just stay calm. sounds like rubbish advice, i know  

[Dan R]

I'v always found that tickets go on sale about 5 minutes early (for 08 and 09, plus T and glasto this)
Then you can sometimes get straight through hassle free
also if one of your friends gets to the order form, get them to send everyone the link to get straight through to it
I got mine in the pre-sale though so no worries

[shinobi93]

Already got mine with Early Entry.

But i'm attempting to get a pair for a couple of mates tomorrow who also want EE. Does anyone know if Ticketmaster still let's you 'bolt on' EE to a Weekend ticket and a supplement because I did this for mine in September to save me paying Postage and Fees on both, and to save me having to go through the process twice?

[Joeclem]

im terrified at the prospect of not gettin a ticket haha, ive got two of my mates lined up, one of which already has their ticket, and one of which hasnt and isnt going, and theyre gunna try and get me one too! good lads! of course it could all go terribly wrong if we dont communicate we could end up with 3 haha

[Keva]

Got mine last year. So glad I haven't gotta go through the worry this year. I've never had any trouble in getting them in previous years though.

now as long as this here forums don't break like they have before it will all be fine and dandy.
if they do crash I always have Google Cache

I didn't manage to get a V fest ticket when they initially went on sale, despite my dad being on 8:55, 5 mins before they sold out. But that's because our internet speed went down to 0.09mbps...Roughly dial-up speed - But if your internet doesn't crap out, you should get one fine

[nu-marc88]

is ticket day earlier this year? im sure it is.

[kopite_mark]

do you reckon the lineup will be leaked earlier in the day, cos i can only afford to go for the day this year and id like to know the blink day before the crazy ticket rush
