[davidishere]

Just wondering if anyone outside the UK also managed to get tickets?, I stayed up from 1am til 130 trying and luckily did, I was so crushed I couldnt go last year

[mellowmoog]

never got past the holding stage in Miami, Florida but a friend got mine sorted thank god!!!!!

[bonbonbonbons]

Yeah, we'll be coming from qatar in June - tickets went on sale 11am here, unfortunately Sunday is a working day here so was lucky that I could get away to a computer for an hour!

[Uncle Liam]

Yeah I'm in Qatar as well and got some. 

[NorwegianBlur]

[Uncle Liam]

Well, sort of.

I got a load of the sixth form to sit on computers in the ICT room and hammer it for me.

There were 6 of us who wanted to go, all trying in the UK apart from one who had to be away working in Florida. So the one in Florida was the one who got through and got our tickets! he had no joy on his laptop but got through for us all on his mobile!!

From New York. Got 3 coach tickets on Thursday and then 2 regular tickets today for family. Bagged the 2 today after it was tweeted that they were sold out. Was about halfway through the booking process and just kept retrying to proceed through and finally got the booking complete page. Unbelievable really

Friend had a group part based in Italy they got through, previous years I've got through in Spain and friends have from Greece, seems easier abroad? But prob just pot luck same as here....

[Madyaker]

Both years my group has been split between the UK and Ireland. Last year my friend in London got all the tickets, this year I got some and he got some. I don't think your location makes a quantifiable difference.

Technically Jersey is outside of the UK, so yes I did.

Couldn't get past a white screen here in Dresden, Germany, but thankfully a pal of mine got everyone tickets in a hotel in Wales!

A friend got me a coach ticket on Thursday.

I got through for friends today, from Ireland. Had not been successful in completing a booking for many years, so I was chuffed I could finally do my bit, after getting so much help over the past years.

[Brumbot]

Yeah my girlfriend managed to snag ours while on shift here in Cairns! Well chuffed! 

[BlackZeppelin]

No one from Australia that I know managed to get close

Got 4 Wednesday coach tickets here, from Brisbane, Australia.

Only managed to get to the holding page here in Brisbane. But luckily for me, my mates in the UK managed to get through.

I dont think its easier abroad.  Two of my friends didnt have a sniff at the page while I did got to the holding page for 6 minutes until my internet connection went off and never came back.  I tried on my 4G Android but couldn't get in. So disappointed.

Having tried from both the UK and abroad I'm pretty sure it's just down to luck wherever you are - much like people talk about their internet speed on ticket day, it's mostly an irrelevance, you just need to pray that you hit the website at that exact moment when there's a slot to let you in

[Nobody Interesting]

One of out groups had 1 from Australia, 2 from Sweden, 2 from Spain and 1 from the UK. They got tickets
