Pinhead Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Profuse apologies to al_coholic for suggesting his trick might not be on the up and up - I will admit when I realised the from "email" address wasn't a proper glasto or see one I immediately assumed the worst! My concerns were only raised further when I noticed that the IP has a registered owner of "Putteridge Junior School". http://www.dnsstuff....4.168.202.201& However, as I got thru ok later on using a different computer (with no hosts file edit) and our reg numbers came up on the site as "used" I now know everything seems ok. Thank god! al_coholic - hope you live up to your name as me and everyone else on here will want to buy you a pint at the fest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blob25 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I can't get this to work on my Terminal in Mac, when I press enter, it says permission denied. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloan85 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 how long does it take to get the confirmation email?? I did the host change thing on my mac. When I go back into the host file thing it doesn't show the link.... does it save to there or somewhere else? anyway, it loaded first time after that and went through to payment page after 2nd attempt. Can relax when email arrives..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail39 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Windows instructions if you want to try the host file edit. search 'notepad' under the start menu. Right click and run as administrator click 'file' and 'open' Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts Open 'hosts' at the bottom paste 194.168.202.201 glastonbury.seetickets.com Click save. Try to load the page. I'm not saying its legit, but I'm hoping it is because it worked for me! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcade fireman Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I got tickets through the hosts file but now its not working anymore! Want to get tickets for friends! Have they shut it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingsthatgoflirintheschla Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 The hostfile thing works a treat! On mac... 1. Go to Terminal (searh for the 'Terminal' app on your computer) 2. Type in the following (without the speech marks) "sudo nano /private/etc/hosts" 3. you'll be prompted to enter your password.. put it in and press your enter button. 4. when the list of numbers and web addresses comes up use your down arrow to scroll down to the bottom, just above the text that says "Optional Block List" 5. type in "194.168.202.201" then a space and then "glastonbury.seetickets.com" 6. press and hold the "ctrl" button, followed by the "o" button. 7. press enter 8. press and hold the "ctrl" button, followed by the "x" button. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeze Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 The hosts trick is legit - just looked up the IP address that the domain directs to using this: http://www.selfseo.c...f_a_website.php It checks out, don't worry people!

redmosquito Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Managed using internet explorer with mutliple windows, like most people I got the enter reg details page a few times, oddly each window got the page at the same time and it was exactly the same for each step. June seems and awfully long way off now though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniand Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Got thrown of the reggy details page a few times, got through and deposit paid at 10.01 Quickest I've ever got tickets. Well happy with that :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moremi Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Got tickets after having booking page with reg details twive before 9.00 - lost it both times. If you enter your reg details and then proceed and it doesn't accept use back button and try again. Worked for us after 5 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Make sure the hosts file has had its read-only attribute turned off if you are having trouble saving it. Right-click the file, properties, general, attributes, read-only, untick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
