9:01AM :o) + Confirmation

[Paul ™]

maybe just 50, maybe 60 tickets were gained between all of us I reckon

[jameshunt]

Whilst 'door holding open' can be a bother, it can hardly be ascertained that this is happening en masse I should think. Ok so yes maybe there are people who are a little guilty to having pages open and using them for all their mates but tbh, how long does this actually occur for realistically?

Statistically there cant be thousands upon thousands of groups of people actually doing and whilst our reasonable sized military operation of a gang got ourselves organised, there still wasnt at any specific point much 'hogging' of pages going on between a piffling 30 or so of us...maybe just 50, maybe 60 tickets were gained between all of us I reckon? Thats peanuts to the amounts of tickets available.

Also, experiences from the past, door holding open was probably nowhere near as rife as 2007...THAT was ridiculous...collectively, yes a LOT of tickets were gained that year by 'hogging' the open pages but then again I seem to recall there was a juicy glitch that allowed you to go back and start all over again. Its now 4 years later...this year was slow, steady, tough but those that got through...got through. End of.

[jameshunt]

ok, outline a fair system for me when more people want tickets than are available?

[jameshunt]

I didn't say I didn't care. I'm saying that it's impossible to have a totally fair system. In your example there will still be people who don't get tickets through no 'fault' of their own. They'll probably think the system is unfair

[jameshunt]

the patronising condesention is too much

see ya

[ark]

It slows down exponentially.

If you book at 8:50 (another usual See tickets cock up as it's clearly before 9.00) you'll get your email confirmation within a few minutes. By 9:30 it takes half an hour or so. By 11:00/12:00 it could be later this afternoon or even tomorrow etc.

[jameshunt]

... that they'd been doing something underhanded, or 'unfair'.

...

You think that's unfair... I don't see how or why it is.

[Bobs]

In no means did i mean to stop people getting tickets, far from what i meant!

the people who were waiting, were in the queue also, but i helped them go, and that makes me feel happy that i may of made their day, so in the end, i'm delighted with what i did, made 20 peoples day and so some missed out, anyone else would do the same, no? Either way lets enjoy the build up to Glasto shall we 8 months to go!

[jameshunt]

you've decided I've boxed myself into a corner. I've responded, reasonably politely to your points. All you've done is been patronising and condescending. Maybe we just disagree, it IS possible

[jameshunt]

ok, I was out-argued? I thought I was having an adult-type conversation. Didn't realise it was a competition, but if it makes you feel better, you win.

happy?

[jameshunt]

ok f**k face

...

I paid for my deposit at about 9:20 and havent had email confirmation! I have, however, been able to check that the registration has been used. (after they had sold out), so I know I am OK!

[jameshunt]

yet it's ok for you to be politely ( ) abusive to me?

[Boris]

This is great. I have popcorn and wine. As you were.

[kellyo]

hello everyone this is my first post! this mornin i was trying to get on the see tickets site from 8.45am and finally got through at like 11.30am and had my email bout 10mins ago, ive been to glastonbury 3 times now and ive always been quite lucky wiv getting tickets within the first 30mins, i was panickin for a while i must admit!

[fullfathom5]

First time buyer.

I got into the queue about 9:50am had just the two windows open (using Chrome) from the links mentioned on here (one ending PURCHASE and the other DEPOSIT).

Around 10:25am the DEPOSIT link came up trumps and asked me for my details. I duly obliged with my details they required and was only buying the one ticket so from then on it took me probably less than five minutes. Got the on-screen confirmation that everything was rosy (print-screened it and saved it following the advice of someone off here - thanks if your reading!) and knowing the e-Mail confirmation wasn't going out straight away to some, I sat tight waiting for it.

I sat there refreshing my inbox for an hour because some people on here had there e-Mail confirmations within minutes so I couldn't relax until I had mine. No sign of it so I took the dog for walk with my iPod and returned at 12. Had a shower then loaded up the laptop, went straight to my inbox and found that all important e-Mail there waiting for me confirming that i'd secured my first ever Glasto ticket.

Sorry for going into detail but it's my first one and i'm f**king excited.

[GINGERWILDCAT]

Not bizarre at atll. That's they way their system works. Good for you and your friends. Really bad for those who couldn't get in due to people keeping their sessions open and buying for others though.

[jameshunt]

I bet your mates love you...."Sorry lads,can't hit the back button and get your tickets,it wouldn't be fair on other people!"

[GINGERWILDCAT]

Wow. Comprehension is really lacking on these boards.

People exploit loopholes. So that justifies those loopholes existing?
