Yeah we weirdly never get any posts of here of "I slept in, logged in at 9.30 and didn't get tickets, a ballot would be better" - y'know, the actual people who would do better out of a ballot! Even those people can just pay people to try for them. Which is the issue I think we're going to see in the coming years, in that people will just use bot farms (or even cheap labour farms in China) to get their tickets. At which point all the large groups will start crying foul and how it's unfair someone has an army of 200 people trying for them, which at the same time having a group of 200 people trying for each other. (This literally happened with the main sale last year) I suspect that's what might ultimately lead to a change in system.

I think that's just a case of not putting the resources in to serve more than a few people at once. For example when tickets for The Lion King in Birmingham went on sale, they went up at 9am, I forgot about it and logged in at around noon, was told there was a 12 hour queue. It dropped down a bit, and I got a message saying I could now go in and get tickets at around 10pm, after waiting 10 hours. After which I proceeded to book tickets on the front row for a random Tuesday night later in the run. Tickets were still available the following days and weeks. It's a much more complicated transaction as people were browsing for the best seats on particular days and such, but it wasn't demand that was causing a queue, it was the site only being able to handle a hundred or so people on at once.

it always makes me laugh every year when, at about 9.30 or so, the calls start up for a lottery system for tickets... as if people think, for some unfathomably stupid reason, that lottery based allocation would somehow automatically mean they got tickets. -

If the seller is a ticket holder I hope they fall down a longdrop! -

I bought a (now quite rare) t-shirt at the festival in 1992 (or 1993). It was quite dear at the time so took a bit of deciding before I bought it. I have worn it to every festival since! I have a managed to find a spare over the years, but they do fetch a fair price now.
