Hi All, Now I know this won't make up for the fact you're still trying for glasto tickets but I have 2 weekend tickets for the Sound City festival in Liverpool this weekend (won them but can't go

I have just realised someone gave me 2 downvotes too in this thread yesterday, just for asking politely for a link? Made me a bit sad tbh as I'm new here and now my rep is horrible

This thread is titled 'Secret Resales'. That was the whole point. However it now seems to have been high-jacked by people advocating getting in illegally. Hardly the spirit of Glastonbury. We all know

If you buy a campervan ticket is there any way you could just camp in normal campsite? Or is it an add-on to normal ticket?

It's only an addon, It won't let you buy without a general admission ticket already associated with your reg number

that minute might well be the difference between getting tickets or not.

play fair Neil ;) we both know thats within the tests margin of error.

Agree that SMS is a swifter, more reliable form of notification though.

it's due to the differences in our systems mate, from what you've said about yours.

Mine is about X times more likely to be swifter than yours.

That 'X' might be 12. That 'X' might be 144. My head is spinning trying to get my head around it.

in theory, yep - tho it's also reliant on email.

Oh is it an Email to SMS gateway? 

I played with AQL's sms API platform which was lightning fast, but pretty expensive, so i gave up on the thought of using it for notifications.

yep - tho as instant as it gets, from all of the alerts sent out so far.

(there was one case last week where I thought they'd got delayed, but others got the texts instantly, and as they all get sent from one email mine must have been delayed by either my phone service provider or my phone's poor network connection).

I get a copy of the email that's sent to the gateway, so I can always see how fast they go.

PS: I'd used the same gateway service before, so I knew it was pretty good. :)

I suppose architecturally you could code to go directly to their email server, rather than locally using your own servers MTA, which in theory should be as fast as an API call.

The WhatsApp group I am in from this forum didn't ping at all for this mornings ticket updates. I've just sent a message now.

I'm guessing as the tickets aren't yet on sale and people were told not to post anything until they were. But it's just gone off with the info for Tipi etc. Bit of a slow alert though haha!

ahhh, good point .... I'll look into doing that.

I was pleased just to get the bploody thing working, which took 2 days of faffing around - their security checks were rejecting my mails initially, due to the smallest of DNS issues which too a while to track down.... so by the time I got it working I'd stopped thinking about how I might do it better.

Yeah, that was me. I thought ppl should know, just in-case some already have tickets and need the extras.
