Firefox seems to be struggling with page refresh already. Chrome is working much faster.

Last year it was the other way around! I wonder why.

There's really no point. Essentially, at the moment, there's three booths for tickets, and your computer will try to get to any of them. By putting one of those in, it will only be directed to one of them, hence decreasing your chances. The reason it worked last year was because See was directing people down a certain route, thus leaving one of the booths empty.

For certain operating systems this isnt necessarily true. You could be caching a DNS entry to a heavily loaded server that you cant escape from, constantly hammering it whilst other servers are merrily plodding away with capacity to spare.

[Alcatraz]

yeah ive done it

it worked last year

Only for a while. What makes you think they're going to all you to do it again?

[Michael@Hebden]

Backdoor link (800000) now takes me to the holding page.

I'm no expert, but I'm not sure it's worth risking guessing the possible page- you have to weight up whether the split second it will save you is worth the risk of it being the wrong link.

[musky]

Please guys, do not edit your hosts file. Last year was a one off cock up, and you'll just decrease your chances by messing about with it.

On second thoughts, go ahead.

[Hobzee]

that maybe the link, it goes to holding page now!!

[Michael@Hebden]

Through to the holding page now with backdoor links :-D

[guthrun]

Still getting the 'Event not found' message through the backdoor link. Anyone else?

[New Cillit Bang]

800006 also does the same as 800000 link... not worth second guessing at this stage

[GlastoSimon]

Yes, backdoor link now goes to holding page.

[guthrun]

Ah, holding page coming up now. **nerves**

[Mrs*E*]

i'm completely pc literate so wont try doing anything that could wreck my chances, and my pc. thanks tho xx

[frostypaw]

Do y'think they might be reading this?

[sortzcov]

Through to the holding page now with backdoor links :-D

what is the backdoor link?

[Chaz Allington Lodge]

Firefox is refreshing slowly and the backdoor link takes you back to the holding page.

[MadFrankie]

Give it time, they are just plugging the holes before they push the 'go live' button.

I've got a feeling the links will work after that again.

[angelin]

I'm just getting the usual page with the tweets on it

[Penrhos]

Definitely - after what happened last year.

I work for a major retailer and we have a team that checks social media for loopholes (especially around the sales) and plugs them ASAP.

[Chaz Allington Lodge]

Good luck everyone, F5 !!!

[Chris E]

that maybe the link, it goes to holding page now!!

It goes to the same URL as the holding page though so will count as more than one tab.

[Badlands]

Traffics mental already.

[rischbrit]

[rischbrit]
