Would just like to say

[Sketchead]

A massive, massive thank you for the admin for pointing out the changing files/IP and from then on, whoever posted the link of how to do it on a Mac.

Luckily this worked instantly and I managed to get me and my mate a ticket. We were the only ones to get through from our little groups though and others missed out sadly. Such a shame that everyone can't to go, but those who didn't, keep the faith with the resale.

Thanks again.

yep - I think Neil pretty much just made his ticket money back in all the beer people will buy him at the festival...

[eFestivals]

thanks for the praise but it was a community effort - it was another efester who put me onto it, so thanks to him (he knows who he is).

[jimmyk83]

Didn't work for me, but pleased that so many efesters made it through, as I know here lie many people who love Glastonbury as much as me. Kudos Neil

[daveyboyhart]

Hi I would also like to say thanks as if not for the idiots guide to changing the host file I would not have been successfull again-as it was I made it with 3 min to spare

[rosstopher]

i'm not sure if it was this host file that done it for me as it didnt work rite away but got through in the nick of time, massive massive thank you to everyone on here if it was, especially to the person who explained how the hell to do it

Well done and thanks to all

Worked perfectly, 2 tickets instantly after trying for 45 mins with every browser, laptop, phone I could find. A bit peaved I didn't think of it first, but all hail the OP!!!

[efcfanwirral]

without wanting to sound snobbish, but i do think everyone who posts on this forum deserves to go due to their dedication, so I think there is some good karma in there somewhere when a trick like this comes up, just unfortunate that not everyone could take advantage of it.

you'll get them in the resale i reckon, just make sure you have lots of people trying (even those who arent going themselves - friends, parents etc)

Absolutely amazing tip! Thank You so much because I was losing hope fast! I was getting absolutely nowhere for an hour. Then tried this and straight through.

Made my day! Again Thank You.

[adamski]

Yup, well done to whoever found that ip. Managed to get trhough after changing it, after no joy on various devices/browsers......

[lintonmum]

I've been a lurker on this site for two years but had to create an account to say thank you thank you thank you!!! I'm going to Glastonbury! :-)

[FakeEmpire]

Read these forums regularly but don't really post. Have to say a massive thank you to everyone involved in the backdoor guides earlier today. Spent ages refreshing and stressing out, then managed to get tickets with your help. Thank you so much!

[buddiepaul]

another thanks from me, it was very much appreciated - with the time taken to detail the steps required as well.

[Gregcharlie]

Yeah thank you so much Neil, (nearly) all my group of friends and I managed to get tickets doing this.

For future reference, for the resale or next year or all other future walks of life, what is the easiest way to work out the IP address of a website like that when it is so temporary?

[cov boy]

im also a lurker on here and have to say such a big thankyou for all the tips, am so happy, i do feel for the people who didnt manage to get them but if you really want to go there are always ways to work so dont give up all hope.

I was halfway through the instructions for the mac when I saw it was sold out... pleased it worked for some people!

[Diamond Solitaire]

Hardly been on eFests since the last Glasto, so glad I returned today. Huge thank you to the genius who sussed the IP address thing and the guy who explained how to do it on Mac

THANK YOU

[SH24]

Thank you so much! You've made 6 very happy people here!
