How many tabs are you planning on using?! - iirc though, multitabbing doesn't work, just gets you multiple ticket windows when the system allocates you.

This year I'll be building a program for it, much less stressful

Personally I would not turn of browser caching on ticket day else you'll be requesting more data to be sent each time you refresh. Same goes for any 'hard refresh' key combination that bypasses the browser cache. Multiple tabs and / or browsers dont make a scrap of difference either since the server will identify all incoming requests from your client under the same public IP provided for your connection. I would not expect a repeat of the DNS issue with See this year either (unless they are inexcusably incompitent).

I sent an invite to my mates tonight to invite them to a curry and beer night round mine at the end of sept so we can discuss tactics exchange ref numbers and sort out the 8 people in each booking. I didn't bother last year as got fed up arranging everything but quite a few mates didn't get tickets so this year I've bit the bullet and decided to try and organise them ...... Lets hope it's not all in vain and we do manage to get some!

Is it advisable trying to formulate a plan under the influence of beer and curry!!!?????? For something like this I'd want to be switched on!!! Or at least write it down so you remember when sober :-)

[harriet]

Lol!! We will start off sober, get all the talking and organising done then chill! Lol

You lost me at 'Personally I would not turn of(f)'. I can't begin to fathom out the rest of it. It's truly mind boggling.

I deserve a ticket as compensation for getting food posioning, my ticket fund has taken a hammering having to buy toilet roll.

Just been trying to get tickets for Daniel Kitson. Was exactly the same as T-day, hammering away at refresh as the website crashes and the phone gives an engaged signal. Aaaaaarrrggghhhh.

Tim Berners-Lee, really nice bloke.

[Pinhead]

There are now so many IT nerds on here that I firmly believe next years line up will be

Friday - Tim Berners-Lee

Saturday - Stephen Hawking

Sunday - Bill Gates

I'll be doing the usual, downloading google chrome the night before for better speed, waking up at 7AM, getting unnecessarily stressed out, then eventually getting tickets at around 10AM ish.

[**claire**]

I'm in denial about T-day - especially after missing out last year in the main sale - the memories are still raw!

Plus, we're away on the first Sunday in October, and not somewhere which'll have any internet connection that we can reach...

I'm trying to figure out an alternate plan of action (or two, or three), but we may have to wing it & rely on re-sale day instead for next year, which I REALLY don't want to do... That would also scupper any plans of camper vanning or Worthy View'ing it.
