went on sale at about 8:54...lucky i was clicking early i guess!

[Grayburn]

40mins is what I have been told, but yeah 10,000

I have no idea how many were in the pre sale yesterday but can tell you for sure the Essex Residents ticket allocation was 10,000

[arteet]

How are you getting this info mate?

If it's someone in the know can you ask why an Essex post code wasn't on Seetickets database?

[Grayburn]

I just spoke to Seetickets and asked them...

1.Why was i told yesterday by someone there that tickets will be on sale at 10 when the site says 9?

2.Why was my post code not on the data base?

3.And why was tickets sold before 9am?

Answers, which were expected

1.Seetickets man : I don't know who that was but they were wrong

Me : no shit!

2.V festival supplied the post code database so we can't comment anymore on that.

3.Apparently none were sold before 9 even though there are people here that had completed the ticket process and were posting on here before 9am!

Ticketmaster for me then in the morning i think!

That can't be right, I think last year the conclusion was that there are about 150,000 Chelmsford tickets so I dont really believe that 90,000 were sold during the Virgin presale! Don't think Virgin would want that many people talking about their shitty media services in the same place!

[mfeltham]

Bobster & mfeltham, did you get your tickets before 9am then?

[Miss Moo]

I am dredding tomorrow

[Miss Moo]

Miss moo - did you have a presale for virgin yesterday? Says Red camping is back on sale. Be quick if you have!

[mfeltham]

Just tried again.... no luck. I even rang last night and the woman said there was yellow available and I was like whoooooooooooooo, for her then to tell me it was only disabled after I had ask her that earlier and she said nooooooooooooooo

[Miss Moo]

Sold out of normal yellow, just disabled left.... I asked in I could have them and she asked if I was disabled at which point I was gonna say yes and then decided it wasn't fair.

Thats what i was doing from 9 with five windows open, then the shitty thing didn't have my post code on the DB.

I've sent an e-mail to V regarding this, i want an explanation.
