That does says midnight though

[Greenelk]

My point was more that everyone was expecting 9am on the 6th

Could be a very late night for people if that's the onsale time

[ThomThomDrum]

I reckon thats a place holder date and time and it will change once the ticket date is announced. 9am Sunday 6th Oct............

I'm guessing that those are some of the sale items being keyed onto the sales system, but that the date/time of sale isn't yet the correct date & time .... after all, I can't see the sale starting at midnight as those items say, can you?

It does seem rather odd, must admit, though wasn't there a year in the mid 2000s that they went on sale at 9 or 10pm?

you might be right, I can't remember.

but the rationale for the Sunday sales was to give the opportunit7y to buy to as many people as possible (because the fewest people are at work on Sundays compared to other days), and i can't really see them changing from that.

[Aragorn]

perhaps they are giving people who use the coach first dibs as its eco friendly yadda yadda yadda and might put less stress on servers on ticket day

highly unlikely but nothing would surprise me

I'd considered that, but unless they're going to be offering 100% refunds for people who make a coach booking but then don't secure a ticket, it's not something I can see working.

Given that the sale time is currently set as midnight, I can't see that being a sale time that'll remain in place to happen ... and if they're going to be changing the sale time, then it's no biggie to change ther sale date as well.

2004, they went to sale at 8pm on a thursday and their system crashed

[Thearg]

I cant see this happening either.People are so nervous about getting tickets that a lot of people with transport will buy these tickets and genuine people without transport will miss out.

It cant be right.

[eFestivals]

The wording on the link suggests that it's ticket and coach, rather than just coach though?

not at those prices it doesn't.

They must hate that web page monitoring software. Everytime someone changes a spelling there's a flurry of activity.

2004 I was watching Jools Holland at the Albert Hall and my partner started the ticket process and i finished it 19 hours later with 4 sets of tickets,it was such a mess up.

I wouldn't object to midnight on a thursday....I'd guess even less people at work on thursday at midnight than Sunday 9am these days?!

But yeah more than likely a placeholder.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

of course it's going to be changed:
