EFesters who were successful

[Mrs*E*]

i hope to get to know people better through this forum and then have enough courage to come to a meet. we dont normally go until thursday though. i think i read earlier that there is a thursday meet?

[michael eavis' beard]

Got a ticket thank god!

I ended up booking for 27 people on my computer - obviously with different people's card details. Think we got the last lot a few minutes before the sold out tweet was sent - phew!

[psychology]

Got ours at 10 using IE, Chrome just didn't want to know, stressful, know about 20 other people trying for tickets and none of them succeeded.

I gave a friend advice about buying tickets, multiple tabs, F5, couple of laptops, and his BT broadband was suspended at 9.30 for "unusual activity against the terms of his broadband" so glad i am not with BT!

[LondonTom]

Just when I thought all hope had gone a friend got through over the phone at about 10:20 and the nice man on the phone let him buy 9 tickets, I do think he had to do it in 2 transactions though.

DP? I feel like I'm 80 lol

[tjamest]

Tried in vain to get in via the host file thingy, but even with the 'idiots guides' which people posted it was beyond this technophobe.

Constant refreshing and swearing at the laptop eventually worked however and I got mine at about 10.05.

[StoneCircle]

I shall be there, was lucky to be on Twitter and @vinylvictim had a page open. This was at 10:27!!! So close to not being there......

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

All 34 of us managed to get tickets! I'll be at the cider bus meet.

[BlackHole2006]

Got tickets for me and a mate at quarter past 10 in the morning. All thanks to the IP Adress hack. We beat the system mothertruckers.

[Riggins]

managed to get one. Just got to find a mate to persuade to go in the resale or I'm going alone though.

Can you believe I couldn't find one friend to pledge £50 to go? Madness.

[mike46]

Usually just 2-3 of us who go but have a whole load of us going this year (15) some of who have been before over 10+ years ago or complete newbies. Got 7 through the back door way then managed to get 8 in the normal way after that as well.

Roll on June!

just noticed this

UK TICKETS will this year be sent out by Royal Mail. Tickets will be sent to the address specified when booking. A signature will be required at the point of the delivery.


TFFT - always preferred Royal Mail as it just goes to the local sorting office if your not in rather than dicking around with redelivery

[tazzyb11]

under new name here as cannot remember my last one

13 tickets bought in total for me and my group of friends, all by me using firefox. Got through 7 times and dropped after entering reg numbers then about 10am bam 10 pages all went to registration page at the same time. Across the group we have 10 computers and 3 on the phone lines.

[Pear_Cider]

I'll be there this year after a four year enforced layoff Will be at the Cider Bus as normal...hopefully will be accompanied by my son this time. He got spectacularly wasted by 6pm in '09 and crashed out by the side of the efests World Cup match! Luckily a couple of the girls of this parish looked after him and he woke up adorned with the monorail badges that were around that year!!

See you at the bus!

[mungo57]

I got one, thanks to Neil, never been to an efests meet before, but I will try and make it this year. I feel as though I owe Neil a MASSIVE drink for his ingeniusness if thats even a word!

[Aarron B]

Got them. After about an hour. Got mine, then got straight back on and get two other peoples, once you get through, its so easy to get through again.

[monkey1989]

I got 1 for me and 5 for friends first glasto time for me , been a Leeds , soni , download , bestival guy

[Infinite Jest]

Got 'em for me and Ms Jest. I've been in 1999 and 2000, she's never been. Will be interesting to see how it's changed (it was all fields around here when I was a lad.......wait, what?)

[iamstreety]

Managed to get 5 for me and some mates at 9:30pm. After putting it on Facebook that I had some, a few others were asking me to get tickets for them. Back on at 9:35pm and sorted a mate out for 2. Always seem to be lucky for tickets.

[TheBigJT]

Got one for myself. Not certain if I will be able to go, but took the gamble hoping that I can. I tried a solid hour and was about to give up when the screen popped (I'm on Safari on A Mac).

I had to get to bed to leave in the morning for a job in Las Vegas. (I'm in the US, in California)

Hoping that I can make my second Fest, after having gone the 1st time in 2010...if so, I'll be at the Cider Bus for sure.

[london_ajay]

I was facing white screen of death buying failure when I sought solace with efestivals and enlightenment came in the form of a users submission.

Tried the hosts thing and I was in business! Did mine, my friends, regulars here and complete randomers too! Luck finally ran dry after the glitch was fixed but many thanks goes out to that person...you know who you are!!

Also thanks to efestivals site, if any guys and girls who got tix through me are reading, please donate to this site!

Peace out :-)

[Becoming a veteran]

Apart from the occasional look on here since after 2011, since getting tickets on Sunday, I'm logging frequently again throughout the day to read peoples thoughts and views. Really really looking forward to it, especially as this year I didn't do a festival at all.

[BooBooKittyF**K]

I have not commented on this forum in years, but I had to sign in and say hooray I am going! I haven't been able to o for the past few years because of work reasons, so I am doubly happy that I could get a ticket this year :-)
