I was thinking that all this multiple devices, IPs, browsers, tabs etc is apparently against the ethos of the festival. But then in the same way that a couple of thousand people spend weeks building a small town in the middle of nowhere that will just be used for 5 days in the summer and then dismantle it all afterwards, hundreds of thousands of people spend days building a small data centre in their living rooms that will only get used for one hour on a Sunday morning in November and then dismantle it all afterwards. So maybe it fits the ethos really.

It depends. If it was just publicly available knowledge that was used (albeit needing some technical expertise to use it) then they could not/would not cancel them for the reasons above. If on the other hand it was inside knowledge, i.e. someone at Seetickets took some money to either set up the servers that way, and/or told someone on the outside the IP addresses of the servers that they should use in return for money and those people then charged wannabe festival goers to get them tickets using the inside knowledge then that would be fraud, and they should cancel the tickets

Thats what I found too. the "secret" links made no difference this year. You could even get the number wrong at he end and it made no difference

I wondered that, I tried 35000000, and 45000011 and just the plain seetickets.com, and none seemed to be any different this year. So they seemed to have changed things a little and knowing the link or not (or using a wrong one) give no advantage any more. Maybe someone more technically minded can come along and explain
