    People have always speculated that it is easier to get through from other countries. I'm not sure I buy it but a I now work for an international company I figure it can't hurt to have some international people on my team!! 

    I am trying to convince some friends I have in Germany to help out for the exact some reason, I am not convinced either but every little helps #tesco

    Great news. My boss knows my plans and luckily we can be pretty flexible. He is the head of my Barcelona resale team as he said him and his wife will try and help us get tickets. 

    ha! I’ve also got my boss roped into help. Although North Yorks no where near as glamorous as Barcelona...

    Around 95/96 I was working at the Virgin Megastore in Edinburgh and 911 were doing an in store appearance.  I did have a real loathing of boy bands (or indeed any manufactured pop band) at that  time and was down in the staff room having my break when they came ahead of their appearance.  They started chatting away to me and were really nice and pleasant which somewhat burst my pre-conceptions!

    Nice people, terrible songs though. 😂

    Pretty sure they subbed:

    The Wombats -> Royal Blood -> The 1975

    But yeah, they were really good, was a nice run of acts aswell.


    yes you are right, they did sub. I maybe had one to many ciders that day.

    we saw bowling for soup rather than 1975. BFS at the farm would be a lovely surprise

    Could Royal Blood not be John Peel Headliners like The Streets headlining it last year - they are both playing this year's Victorious so similar in size perhaps. Royal Blood also seem to be taking smaller festival slots such as playing the likes of Y Not. I don't think its entirely unrealistic 

    Would RB be considered to big to play JP now even as a headliner?

    i did catch them at Leeds last year 3rd down and they were very enjoyable

    To be honest, it's getting the page to load in the first page that's the nightmare - but once you're in it does help to be quick - especially in the resale.  Because it's over so quickly the time taken to enter the details can make all the difference.  And there's the added bonus that you're less likely to make a mistake as you will have typed all the details in when you were calm the previous day!

    True that. Nothing worse that nervously typing in the wrong digits!

    how quickly did the resale sell out last year do we know?

    Can also do the same on iPhone/iPad by going to...

    Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Text Replacement

    All these years of manually typing it all each time! What a fool
    Game Changing...

    Possibly although the most important thing on the day is wearing those lucky pants and being organised and having some stuff ready to copy and paste or use shortcodes on Apple devices

     

     I was planning on going commando for the big day, but you are maybe right!

    👏 👏 👏 agreed!!! let’s get our F5 fingers exercised for the big day(s)... and would be great if everyone could help out for the coach resale then the main resale, hopefully can knock out a few of us!

    Not sure if it helps or not but I usually use chrome on at least one device as it as an automatic refresh tool which can be set to a 2 second refresh.

    As mentioned I'm registered as non UK so it'd need to be a credit card purchase so not sure if that works for you. I do have a UK bank account so transfers should be easy 

    Yo yo

    nah that wouldn’t be too big of an issue. I have a CC.

    all good

    It's when I hear stories like this that I realise I have no idea what can be done to improve the odds...other than an amazing spreadsheet put together by @crazyfool1 and @vintagelaureate of course 💪

    The last time I actually got tickets myself I had 20 odd PCs turned on but I actually got through on my old iPhone via 4G, I think its all luck of the draw!

    Welcome and good luck!  Maybe turn 40+ PCs on this time! 😂

    I was thinking 50 would be more appropriate  this time given the anniversary..

    Would love to be included and help others in the resale to. 

    We have been 4 out the last 5 time and were gutted to miss out for the big 50. My usual trick of going into work turning on 20 odd PCs failed me this time round. 

    Will email my details over now

    I know the Arctic Monkeys to headline rumour has lost all momentum but given the Strokes rumour I'm convincing myself that it'll be AM headlining with Stokes sub.

    Also convicing myself AM we're offered it and weren't keen, however as they are big Strokes fans this was maybe used in order to sweeten the deal for them..

    maybe just wishful thinking..
