Duplicate applications/orders

[Major Charles Ingram]

As there are quite a few of us going we divide ourselves into groups of six. So group A tries for everyone else in that group, Group B the same and so on. That's fine as anyone getting through and buying the tickets ends the process and we all go and get some sleep I assume you can't succeed twice with the same list as the system should say, these reg no's have already been used.

My worry, is that if some people will try other means of getting tickets ie joining other groups (fair enough to increase their chances). What happens if one person from group A succeeds in another group. Will the others applying for the other five and that one person get an error as the system knows one reg no has already been used and block the other 5 for getting bought or let the transaction go through and remove the duplicate?

Anyone know?

In 2009, I caused an eight person ticket order to crash, because I did just that. If you input a used registration into an order, it will fail the entire order, and you'll need to re-enter all details again.

Unfortunately for my friends, by the time they did this again, all tickets sold out, and the seven of them couldn't go.

Not a high point in my life.

when you enter the details and send them, it'll tell you if a registration number has already been used. You won't get to the checkout page.

Does it tell you which reg no failed, so you could correct and carry on?

Yes but it doesnt tell you what one mardy, so need to try them all individually.

This happened to friends last year, if you are in groups then stick to them.

Happened to me also. Although I do remember it saying which one had already been used. Had to re-enter the other seven, although that did go straight through again.

Slightly off thread, but if I say get through and pay for group A can I then try for and pay for Group B?
