Tickets -- multiple browser tab warning?

It's not really cheating though is it. Having multiple tabs open and persevering with refreshing them for over an hour shows dedication and most importantly that they really want to go. Much better than an online queue.

It shows they really want to go to me, if they are taking it that seriously to have multiple devices on the go at once. Equally you could level the same criticism at a group of friends who were all trying on a single device each.

It's a relatively level playing field when you take perseverance into account. That's how I feel anyway.

From above it seems clear that trying to get tickets with a IE window open, a Chrome window open, a Firefox window open, etc improves your chance

What are the conclusions regarding:

1. Having more than one IE window open - does that improve your chances or put you at risk of breaking things

2. Having more than one tab within the same IE window open - does that improve your chances or put you at risk of breaking things

240?! How the hell would one person manage to keep an eye on that many tabs , then you've missed out as all you've been doing is refreshing tabs and not checking them but as you close them at the end of the sale after a long sulk, you notice has displayed the golden page :lol: (I get your general point :P)

Well that's strange because a google search gives many posts on this saying this is a common problem with windows 8 and there are many posts etc saying never use ctrl+ F5 as this will freeze the cursor. So I assumed it was a windows 8 non compatible thing and, like many things with windows 8, the usual way doesn't work but there is another way to do it hence my question.

Good tips here.

Here are a few from me:

- Co-ordinate and get friends in different houses to try and buy tickets. A joint effort over different locations. I really think this is the #1 plan and requires no technical know how.

- Using your phone and/or tablet as well as your PC is probably a good idea.

- If you're using Windows and Chrome, you can use this plugin to create multiple sessions.

- If you added glastonbury.seetickets.com to your hosts file last year then remove it. In Notepad open %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts to check.

Clever people, let me know if anything I've said is incorrect.

are you using the Don'tCallItMetro interface full-screen touch browser?

if so you're in for whatever chaos it brings. never ever ever had a single problem with f5 in any way in any browser on my Windows8 using windowed interface browsers

program problem, not windows8 problem - internet explorer always was a dogend.

I've just tried ordering tickets from Seetickets for an event (nothing to do with Glastonbury) and they recognised I was using multple tabs and stopped me progressing from the order page until I'd closed down the other tab.

Hope that doesn't happen on tonight or Sunday

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early.

    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
