It's annoyed me more that people have been able to get through on there iphones straight away where as ive been on this pc since 7am and on seetickets from 8.30 and only been in a queue once!

I know enough to know that choice of browser and so forth on the client side couldn't affect things, but the differences I was seeing between the two connections seemed too stark to be coincidence. It's quite possible that some bug in the session handling is leaving connections open to certain IP addresses - think uni computer labs using NAT, for example, hence why we're having so much better luck if we VPN into one of those labs. A plausible theory, at least, don't you think? Or am I just looking for patterns where there are none?

although i do agree with what you said, if you got through to the booking page for a festival and then it crashes, not getting you in again, then im sure you'd be as annoyed as some people here are.

anyway im giving up trying to get one now, waste of 4 and a half hours.

Absolutely gutted, only saw the que page once all day, that was using the Opera Turbo tip, which promptly decided that it wasn't going to load at all anymore and cut out on me, then refused to load again, even in new tabs, just stayed at 0%, f**k.

^^ definitely think using a vpn significantly increases your chance of getting a ticket.

I've been using the link posted in here since 830am on my standard bt broadband line with no success, not even managing to get through to the queue page. Sent my mate the link around 12pm and he successfully got through to the queue page and through the queue within 30 minutes and coincidently he was using his vpn access from work.

He also suggested that the difference in vpn and standard access would most likely be down to service providers and not seetickets.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited after having given up all hope by midday but I won't be fully satisified until my mates gets the confirmation email.

Hope everyine else manages to get through and if not make sure you have access to a vpn for the resale in april, although I'm not completely sure how you would go about this.

Possibly but they havent sold the tickets in the last few years when demand has outstripped supply by at least 5 to 1.

[steveyt]

I'm in a queue - do i just sit tight or click refresh?

[Guitargeek4]

All sounds a bit strange, with some people not even getting in the queue. I'm on Virgin, on IE8, and every time I try I get put in the queue. I've got through to the booking page twice at 9:35ish, then while I was booking tickets on these two, another 4 booking pages came up. Closed them all down (got through once again at about 11, still trying for other people!), and now trying for someone else.. Nothing yet on that, but I am in the queue.....

[lharris92]

"giving up" - sorry, but you can't blame anyone else then. I've not got one but I'm not giving up..

[GlastoAndy]

just used my crappy phone - straight through to sold out screen!

[madspaceangel]

To the SOLD OUT page

[Mad Manx]

After seeing the queue screen on my phone on first try at 1pm, I realised I had not even been close all morning with about 30 tabs loading. Ran to the office full speed to try a different connection and it's sold out before I get here! How annoying

I hate hindsight, but I can't help thinking if I had come into the uni office at 8:30 this morning things would be different...

3 1/2 hours trying through my home internet connection (virgin media), no success.

10 minutes with uni off campus support, success.

I wasn't even getting in the queue on my home connection.

Feel sorry for the poor souls without tickets.

[mark_87]

ahhhhhhh thought i was through there ha. THen saw the sold out

[strike4A]

Got to the page where you enter your credit card details, filled it and clicked submit. Didn't do anything for a minute then crashed. About the same time as they were announced sold out... No idea if I've got them or not...

[ark]

nah, I think it's just random. You got thru cos you were gonna get thru at that precise moment.
