page changed again! holding page is up

[quack]

The main problem for me is that http://glastonbury.seetickets.com is unreachable since 4 am (no page, nothing). I'm not living in UK.

Someone else is complaining here : https://www.facebook...151040297230964

holding page there and get automatically refreshed

question is..should we leave it up from now then?

[markeee]

I'm in Singapore, and it was unreachable for me until a few minutes ago. Now works fine.

[parsonjack]

That's interesting, so it won't even take you through to the 'event not found' page.

[al_coholic]

I cant open anything at the moment, this does not bode well

Got a new page that reads:

Glastonbury 2013

This site is currently receiving very high volumes of traffic. You're seeing this holding page because we've reached the maximum number of request we are able to handle at one time.

You are being held at this holding page until a space on the booking page becomes available.

Your request will be re-attempted automatically in 20 seconds.

It's switching between the two for me if I refresh it manually

Says there is a high volume of traffic so won't let us on. Is this a worry, as in sooo many people trying already, or could it be a test?

[manudave]

High volumes of traffic 65 mins before kick off.

[benm61]

i

i'd say it was putting up the 'high volumes of traffic' message as the actual puchase link isn't open yet. ie. not letting traffic in...

[eFestivals]

Didn't they upgrade the hardware so it could handle the increased data? I think Neil posted that it wouldnt be a problem to access these forums on t-day.

I can't guarantee that efests will remain accessible to all, but there's been some big upgrades so it stand the best chance ever.

[alframsey]

I am getting the 'This web page is not available' message, this doesn't look good.

[JoeyT]

I love all you guys that calm me down when I am panicking for no reason!!

[benm61]

haha don't worry everything will be alright.

Can't believe the amount of 'guests' there are reading the forum! think it should be a members only club until all us 'members' have tickets

[psychology]

It doesn't say you are in a queue this year.

[Pinhead]

Good morning campers. Welcome to the ticket day lottery! Efests site is running like the wind this morning even with the gathering load of users.

[Mardy]

No, I reckon it's pretty much the same, just changed the wording a bit

[ourbreed]

I'm away to make the bacon rolls. Let me know if i miss anything.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Yeah, they're simply not going to put the actual page up this early because it would crash.

[benm61]

Also the actualy glasto site is still up and isn't that normally slower if the ticket site is getting hammered?

[benm61]

Which would seem to suggest that the idea there is a certain number of booking booths and a 1 in 1 out system is in place could be correct.
