My 20 year run came to an end this year. It was tough not going and seeing it was sunny! Luckily managed to get them for next year 🙂

This information may be useful for future reference: We had two home laptops set up in our flat both with six different browsers refreshing about once a second. My flatmate's laptop got through after five minutes with Opera (I think it has an inbuilt VPN). My laptop didn't move from the holding page on any of the six browsers being refreshed once a second for 55 minutes until at the very last Firefox got through (no VPN). Tickets were purchased at 9:57am, a minute before the sell out announcement. It was feeling like there was no chance I was getting through from the holding page and then it happened after 55 minutes and what must have been 20,000+ previous refreshes across all the browsers. I also had a work laptop with three browsers refreshing every second and four browsers refreshing every 20 seconds over phones and tablets also on the case too and none of them got through. I think this suggests that it's unlikely you can saturate requests from using multiple laptops / browsers even refreshing them all more or less at once (although no individual browser would have refreshed more often than once a second) across two different laptops on the same IP address. It also suggests that you should keep persevering until the bitter end as it looked like there was no hope until all of a sudden there was.

Just got home and tested positive for the first time. Started to feel a bit rough at Turnstile (John Peel stage after Diana Ross on the Sunday). Felt too ill to drive home in the crowds on Monday so slept another night in my campervan and drove home today (Tuesday). My sister was fine but then got the vomiting bug overnight Monday. Haven’t read the whole thread but seems a lot of people have caught it. A poll to see the proportion that have and haven’t caught it would be interesting

One is taken and one (in Bristol but happy to post) still available if you’re interested?

Have just messaged the previous two people to ask, will let you know if they don’t get back to me

Replied

Have PM’d

Sorry, my sister has that ticket and she‘s heading to Glasto on Monday as she’s working now

We bought two too many. Will sell for £40 each (they cost £50 each). One is in Bristol and one in Dalston, London if you want to collect in person, otherwise happy to do Paypal and send in the post.
