Chaz Allington Lodge Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I managed to get through and this will be my first year and seeing all these glasto vets not getting tickets makes me really upset because its you guys that made this festival. I've wanted to go to this place for 8 years now and finally have the money and the group of people to do so, but if it means people miss out it doesn't feel like a big win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricci's Special Kebabs Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I was extremely lucky and got through on the phone and the Web at exactly the same time. 2 groups booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry3 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Has anyone else got a confirmation email? Someone in our group booked mine but I havent got anything through yet. The money went from her account though so I assume its fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkete Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Didn't get passed holding page. Loads in our group same boat. Feel sick Didn't even get to the holding page. On 5 different machines running chrome (which last year people were getting plenty of success with on here whilst I got bugger all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Burger Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. Fuck. Gutted. Ditto. Been to every one since 1998. First time I've missed out. Friends I go with every year didn't even wake up to try. c**ts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkete Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Mine still won't bring the page up, even to tell me they've sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshrinker1979 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 gutted. amazing how the holding page suddenly springs into life once its sold out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry mate, people have to miss out. Enjoy it, you'll have the most amazing time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr monkey Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 2 laptops, ipad and iphone and couldn't get past holding page. Someone else got mine but 3 of us didn't get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcwilson87 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I got a ticket via a friend, but I must say from 8.30 onwards I was online and apart from one page at 9.01 that instantly died, I didn't even have a page open up. On 3 browsers not a single page would load; that is bullshit. I feel for all the people who had it like me and didn't have mates who got lucky. What even causes that? I had 0 hope getting a ticket myself. SEE obviosuly dislike me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robu Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Didn't get a sniff of anything after 9am. Even now, half an hour after it's sold out, I can't get on to any Seetickets or Glastonbury page -- not even the Sold Out page. I'm on TalkTalk fibre - anyone else with TalkTalk got the same problems? Could TalkTalk be blocked by Seetickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godders1 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Same here. No luck on our sky broadband but both got through on EE 3g & 4g connections. Tethered mobile to the laptop and got all our tickets. Not really fair on those with just a pc\laptop at home with a major isp. I got 13 tickets via 3 separate orders using Sky BB. I suspect this "Seetickets were throttling some IPs" thing is absolute poppycock. Best of luck in the resales to all those who missed out.

Mr.Tease Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 End of an era. Been to every one since 1998. Thanks to all you lovely people in here for keeping the spirits up. Gutted. That stinks- it seems like there are a lot of people who've been going for 10 or more years who missed out. People on efestivals seemed to have pretty good luck with the main resale last year, if I remember correctly. I know that doesn't help now, but maybe its an option worth considering in a few months, depending on how you feel then. Also there is the option of working there, if that appeals to you? Doubt you feel like even thinking about it now though- it's a horrible feeling not getting tickets when you've been going for such a long time (and even if you've just been once or twice).

adrialuz Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 It sounds like it was successful for you - esp if it wouldn't let you reuse your reg number. Maybe check your bank balance if you haven't yet gotten the email? I could see that the money was in holding on mine so confirmed it that way... Thanks man! I have checked my bank account. I can't see no movements (maybe because it's sunday?), but I had 100pounds more last night (I bought 2 tickets). Omg... I really need that e-mail...

GlastoSimon Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Has anyone else got a confirmation email? Someone in our group booked mine but I havent got anything through yet.

coma girl Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Just got my confirmation email, phew! A friend got for me, I didn't get a sniff of any page at all, not even a busy page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jie Bie Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Although I haven't received the confirmation email yet I checked my bank account and it is showing as 100 lighter. I also checked the your account section on the see website and was able to import this morning's order for two deposits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexvegas Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Why is there a 6 ticket limit if people can go back and get three, four, five lots of 6 tickets? Seems very unfair that it's possible and that people do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad1 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Managed to get 3, was really beginning to lose faith just as I got through, gutted for those that missed out. Was sickening seeing the tweets saying how many were being sold about how many were left. I know I'l get the confirmation email, but will anything be sent to the other 2 people that I've bought tickets for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Reading hte past 2 years and Download the year before that, but I know glasto is something special, I probably wont even touch Pyramid stage.

I'm on TalkTalk fibre - anyone else with TalkTalk got the same problems? Could TalkTalk be blocked by Seetickets? I had the same with BT, just the chrome error, even until 5-10 mins ago. Logged into homehub, disconnected and reconnected to pick up new address then all 5 straight in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseboy11 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Frustrating, literally clicked purchase tickets on got the "Sold Out" message. Never felt so sick! Annoying seeing people who are say, less fanatical about music on twitter getting tickets but I'm sure they'll have a good time. Looking on the bright side I'm not a big Fleetwood Mac fan.

Seems very unfair that it's possible and that people do it. I had to start from the beginning for each separate order, no clicking back on the browser or anything like that. If people get lucky multiple times they are sorting other people out so don't see why it's unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this "Seetickets were throttling some IPs" thing is absolute poppycock. Best of luck in the resales to all those who missed out. I agree but there does seem to be a 4g/3g mobile being better than broadband trend. Possibly throttling being done by ISP's themselves to manage traffic?
