Got straight in for Thursday tickets from my Dublin hotel room at 5.59. Bring on the guinness!

Solid enough lineup, plenty to see if I manage to get a ticket including headliners each night, but not much wow factor there. Felt a lot more gutted seeing last year’s lineup while being ticketless.
Disappointing not to see Pulp and thought Placebo might finally get the nod given their tour dates. Idles vs Fontaines is a strange clash.
On Coldplay - they always put on an incredible show and I think its great that the festival have a massive act that loves playing there while swerving most, if not all, other festivals.

There's also nothing on the packaging to suggest you win a prize. Plenty of blocks would have been scanned without a membership card because of this.
Yeah - got the last 2 blocks in my local co-op on deadline day, but was a bit hesitant to buy initially as was expecting a big Glastonbury sticker on the front. Hopefully they've been entered.

Anyway, finally over ticket day failure so can embrace this thread again. Off to hunt for some cheese before the deadline.

YES! Haha it's safely stored in my burner.
I've been using the pay as you go sim in my main phone ever since! Still not won anything through the app, mind.
Just got a new phone but Vodafone wouldn't let me pass their credit checks for some reason. Reluctantly had to go back to Three.

It's the same every year really. For the people who don't get them there will always be reasons why and "unfairness", it's draining having these same complaints every year. I think we just live in a generation where many people think they can just have what they want when they want and if they don't get it, it's a "disgrace".
Demand will always outstrip supply and no system will every be perfect. The one used now is as good as it can be.
If there are cheaters exploiting the system then the system isn't as good as it can be? Surely they should be called out on this and work to ensure it doesn't happen again?
I don't mind losing out to high demand, as I did last year. But I find it difficult putting so much effort into sales, resales, buying sim cards, chocolate bars etc etc and then losing out to cheats block buying tickets, which is what has happened here

Except if they explain why it was done then nobody is going to call them the bad guy. This happens all the time with major onsales anyway. They go back and review any suspicious purchases and cancel orders. So if they cancelled say 10,000 tickets bought via an exploit and they clearly figured out why/how it was done then they can admit they had a gap in security but also the resolve to take action if you try such a thing. Then theres precedence in the future that if you try this sort of thing youre going to lost your ticket. Who cares about the money, theyll get it one way or another. Again, most people on here arent going cry foul with all this cause they mightve done it themselves.
That's all true but unfortunately the easier (and less costly?) option is to just brush it under the carpet.

Its definitely going to be in the thousands of tickets sold this way
say for example 2k tickets went this way:
2000 / 6 = 333 orders
how many ppl have heard of those using the backdoor getting 4, 5 or 6 groups? I have.
conservative estimate 3 or 4 groups per “hacker” = 333 / 3 or 4 so 83 to 111 people total doing it.
you cant convince me only 90 or so people did it. Its got to be more given how widespread the info is.
i am not well connected and know at least the discord mods and another acquantaince who had someone buy a ticket for him this way. Also the video doing the rounds on twitter.
my educated guess is anything up to 5k or even more sold like this
not wanting to single them out but for example how is crazyfool’s syndicate reporting 100% success on 15 groups? Someone has clearly gone in like this if you ask me.
I'm surprised how many on here are ok with this and seemingly accepting of it. This is a big issue and clearly will have allowed large groups to block buy tickets for entire spreadsheet groups. There were links and instructions going round on whatsapp, discord, reddit etc.
No that doesn't mean we would otherwise have been guaranteed a ticket, but I do find it odd that I don't know a single person irl, across a number of groups, that got beyond a holding page this year.
If the festival truly believes in fairness (as stated 2 weeks ago when they postponed the sale), all tickets bought on the spare server should be traced and cancelled. But they won't because they just want the tickets sold as fast as possible and See don't want the negative fallout.

A friend just told me someone they know got in via a link posted online that took them straight to the booking page, and got 6 lots of 6 tickets. Is this related to the IP address exploit or a separate issue?
Either way I'm pretty pissed about all this. I feel like I've been cheated out of a ticket.
-
Didn't get close to a booking page, again. Gutted. That's now 6 failed sales in a row, despite joining a ticket group for the last 4. The IP exploit today obviously not helping matters.
-
In the interests of fairness, they should cancel all today's tickets and redo the sale in 2 weeks time.
(Not bitter, honest!)

Has to be something not on this!
And something that is on this (sorry - low res but taken from the official site).
Personally I just use the 'click to stop refreshing' function on auto-refresh plus

Keeping a close eye on my inbox but don't want to use up all my ticket luck too soon this week

I might be wrong, but I'm not convinced most of these people had actually confirmed their registrations in the first place - it was an (arguably convoluted) several step process. You had to not only look up your email on the See Tickets checker, but also follow the link on the email received and confirm the details. I suspect people were doing the lookup, getting the email confirming registrations against that email address, and thinking that was job done.
Add to that a bunch of people who only tried checking after the deadline, at which point the See checker had seemingly already been disabled.

There are more than 2 ticket agents
True, but you just know they would get the gig

As much as this is frustrating, no. Ticketmaster would be a disaster.

Good luck everyone! Woke up feeling nervous, especially after missing out last time. Currently debating whether to go to my parents house later and get some extra wifi in use

I don’t think Coldplay could top the crowd pleasing bits they did in 2016 - the fireworks, the Light show, the Barry Gibb bit, the Viola Beach tribute, that impromptu solo piano bit when the crew f**ked up the tuning… they basically had everything that could reel in a sceptical, damp-ass audience.
Even if they are the modern-era Worthy Farm house band, they may think that it’s diminishing returns from here onwards
Don't forget the Michael Eavis finale! I'd happily watch them again as they are always great live, but I was thinking similar tbh. They nailed 2016 and it would be difficult for them to surpass it, especially considering the staging on the current tour isn't much different.
-
Only made the waitlist for Wembley and Anfield. Good to see a lot of success on here but pretty frustrating to have just missed the midnights sign-up when it happened all those months ago. Looks like that made all the difference.

Good that. Sound was a bit iffy at the start but either picked up or I just got pissed enough to not care. Stage show was ace - him rising from the stage and using the steps throughout worked really well.
Was pushed to absolute capacity to the point that it was a little uncomfortable at times… but guess that’s just how things are these days.
Thought similar about the sound at the start - briefly wondered if I should have stood further back, but soon seemed alright.
Really enjoyable set, though seemed to fly by. Sunrise probably my highlight though plenty to pick from.
Less enjoyable was the fact it was £6 for a 330ml can. Didn't bother going back to the bar again, and just held position through Baxter and Pulp.

Until this year I've never struggled to get a ticket, usually securing them in the first coach sale. Last year I got through again for friends in the resale.
This year I didn't get a sniff in any sale, and did everything I could, including joining a ticket group. The resale in particular was brutally tough with the new payment system. I appreciate I may have just been 'unlucky' but some people who still think persistence will guarantee them a ticket are in for a rude awakening in October, unfortunately.
That said, a ballot is the worst idea imaginable. It would just become like Wimbledon or the London Marathon. Everyone would be trying their luck, and you'd end up going once a decade.

Woodsies was running late from just before the Murder Capital came on. A crane reversed too far and tore a small hole in the tent. They had to get the structure inspected and the hole repaired before they could continue. They revised the times accordingly and ran to that.
Ah for some reason I thought it was because Murder Capital were having technical issues. I tuned in and the band were on stage testing their gear for a while. Shame they had to cut their set down, but they were great

Since people wanted facts: if you look at how long an act actually went over their scheduled time slot they were booked for (not the stage curfew), 2004 Macca was 20 mins, Springsteen 14 mins and Lana 15 mins. So I actually think she got the same 15 mins-ish grace anyone else got.
Macca 2022 went on longer. His scheduled finish was the usual 23.45 but he was still working his way through Hey Jude gone midnight, and then there was a 5 song encore.
Bloc Party - Other Stage 2024

I love Intimacy and prefer it to Weekend. Good bonus tracks too. Their Other stage headline set during that era looked great. For me Weekend starts strong but fizzles out a bit. 7.18 is my favourite Bloc Party song though.
Got tickets to Crystal Palace so would prob prefer a mixed set at Glasto, but not too fussed either way.
