    Wow - Underworld were sublime. About as perfect a night as I can imagine. Manchester crew are in for a real treat. As much as I’d love to see them on the farm again, I don’t think anything less than two and a half hours does them justice when they’re on form like this.  Was disappointing to get a very standard, normal version of Born Slippy, but that really was the only negative.

    Agreed, was a cracking night and the sound has been seriously improved at ally pally I thought too.

    Wont be able to make the Wednesday will have to take a chance with the Thursday am traffic.

    Same as that. Mrs putz has a course the day before. Heading up from the south early doors Thursday. Might have stopped raining by then.

    Maybe.

    Agreed. So lucky to have been there in person!

    Was a bit further back but also there, I loved how it almost felt like two shows with the LCO and then the more raw encore with just the band. Very special. 

  4. Hey, figured I would ask on this old thread.... 

    I am wondering if I go for tickets in the resell and I fail to bag the 6 I need, could I request a refund? 

    Because the limit is 4 and I need 6 for my family there a chance I could only get 4 (slim chance getting any I know) I which case I rather not go at all then pick which of my kids and their partners to leave behind if that makes sense?

    Yeah, this does seem to happen every year, but not for everyone.

    My session was definitely invalidated after buying tickets this year, but pressing back and resubmitting the form has worked for me in the past. There seems to be some intermittent bug in their code that they've never squashed.

     

    I had several browsers open with around 20 tabs in each, all refreshing on their own in the background, while I also manually F5'd. I did see a "too many requests" message a few times.

    Out of likes but thanks. Been some very useful information shared here over the last few days so thanks to everyone.

    It shouldn't.

    Once you've used one of the tabs to buy tickets, the single session they're sharing should be invalidated, and the forms on the other tabs shouldn't work - i.e. you should get kicked back to the holding page when you try and submit them.

    Agreed, but I think it's safe to assume see tickets were not killing sessions post transaction in all situations given some of the blow back over the last few days. 

    I stuck to single tab to prevent hitting any request rate limits but reading this 60 requests a minute was not in affect either for some posters on here.

    As demand hugely outstrips supply, there will never be a fair system. I've missed out on the last few but got tickets this year. Swings and roundabouts and plenty of non tech folk got tickets (me included). The thing that worked for me was multiple tabs, but when one got through they all got through so I closed all apart from one

     

    That's really interesting feedback on the tabs. Opens up another route for batch buying in bulk surely. 

    I have always gone 1 tab multiple browsers, chrome, egde, Firefox.

    I'd say the chances are very slim. Picture the same level of demand as the main sale, but selling out in only 10-15 minutes. Getting through twice in that time would be very lucky indeed.

    That said, you have to be in it to win it. Somebody will bag the tickets 🙂 

    Yeah, came to that conclusion last night too. Amsterdam holiday for the festival weekend seems like the best option. Off to bearded at least next year I guess. 

    Will have to join the big buying collective next year to increase our odds for 2025 if it's not a fallow year. Hopfully luck will strike after 2 years of no joy. 

  9. Same setup for me too, always plan ahead with my family and all that so just luck for sure. 

    Not sure why people are getting so sh*tty? For me I was keen to understand some of the the technical aspects, as someone who works in IT/Web - we have obviously have some network bods on the thread. Fanks for all the technical input guys, appreciated and useful.

    Yes - and realistically, it'll be impossible to determine whether it's patched or not until the next time they have cause to put their secondary/backup servers live.

    Trying the exploit now, getting nowhere, and declaring that it's patched somewhat misses the target.

    Didn't think I was seeing a 403 yesterday when someone shared the IP after the sale with that host entry in place, could be wrong though. 

     

    Edit: saying that, still serves up the holding page when pointing at 167.98.233.90 which was never in the published DNS records anyway. Where did that 167 address come from I wonder? 

  11. Hey resale people.

    What are the chances of bagging 6 tickets in a resell, i.e. two batches as the limit is 4 tickets I think.

    I managed to bag tickets once in a resell years back before my "kids" grew up and got themselves partners as I only needed the 4.

    Was thinking we would had off on a mini holiday that weekend but having second thought's currently as we really fancy 2024 still 😀

    Has anyone managed to bag 6 in a resell, sounds impossible these days if honest and if we only managed 4 that would be impossible too and I would have to seek a refund or something.

    The same applies for groups of people as well though. They also need masses of IP addresses.

    The reality is it's increasingly easy to simulate have a group of 64 people trying for tickets with a small set of remote bots. With the advantage that those bots don't all have to get their own tickets first before they try for you. But other than that, it's the exact same thing. It's probably what I'd do if I decided I really wanted to go again. 

    And like you say, maybe that is working as intended. If I want to put that much effort in, I get rewarded with massively increased chances at getting a ticket.

    Agreed buddy. It's open season and fair game according to a few posters here. I only try for my family, 6 of us and have managed well enough over the years. Very organised, multiple ips, etc.

    Last two years not managed to get off the holding page. Fair enough, we don't have a right to tickets and odds state you can't always be lucky. But some appear to be able to get tickets every year and I can't scale to the number of helpers using real humans. Resell is too risky as can only buy 4 tickets and my family plus partners total 6.

    Thinking for next year 6 people trying is not going to cut it and fully intend to setup something to scale things and increased the odds. If I am thinking this you can bet many thousands more are too. Shame, but if that's how it is.

    Exactly this, the link would've taken them to the IP in the "hack" basically it's an easy ride then as very few would've been on that server, instead we were battling with 2 million other devices on the correct links 

     

     

     

     

    Not sure how a link would work here without the hosts entry. Without the host any link based on ip could only target the default site bound to port 443 I think. See tickets run this glastonbury sale as a sub domain site and it's not bound to the default website. 

    Try the IP posted a few pages back in your browser and you land on the main see site, not the glasto subdomain. The hosts entry is needed to fake or override DNS basically and that can't be done via a shared link alone without malware or similar AFAIK anyway.
