Resale Next Week

[The Nal]

Ah missed that. Cheers!

Does anybody know what are the exact details needed? Is it just registration number and post code? Or do you also need the exact name and exact address too?

I recall the opposite. I had tickets in October last time but went back in to get some of my mates tickets, and coach packages were still available quite a while after the resale had started. I think for many people coach packages are a less attractive option.

Although it remains to be said that the FIRST number you put in will be the address that the tickets are sent to.

Also you can use anyone's debit card, even if it's not one of the named people, and yes even if it's been used on other sales... if you have the cash of course!

Don't ask for credit (cards) as refusal may cause offence

Sh*ting it is an understatement...

Pretty sure you can enter a different delvery address? Or maybe you can't and I got mine altered afterwards last time, but I got them delivered to work.

For coach tickets, am I right in thinking nothing is delivered anyway? That it's an e-ticket?

[BlackHole2006]

Good luck to everyone who is trying tomorrow! Only those who really, really want to go will be trying for tickets tomorrow

We're away for the weekend so will be relying in iPad tethered (I think that is correct word) to iPhone running on 3G. We can do it!!!!

[A Guy Called Matt]

I am starting to worry now - even though I have tickets and am just trying to get some for folks I have never met :-)

Not sure this is true. I think Wednesday coach tickets sold out in about 15 mins, and Thursday coach tickets sold out in 25 mins. Pretty sure they announced it on twitter/the official site.

Certainly wouldn't expect them to be available for long.

For those trying, I vaguely seem to remember you had to choose the day of travel at the very start of the process - both took you to separate links/pages to refresh? So I you may find it easier to get through for Thursday tickets.

[theDandy]

fair enough! my perception of time must be warped then!

Either way: I got through twice for normal and coach packages in the 2011 and 2013 re-sales so it's not impossible. I'm nervous but not overwhelmingly so.

[seamonkey]

In 10 years of going I've not known of any of me or my friends who haven't succeeded in either of the big 2 sales.

Stay strong my friend, we can do this.

[snoopyhill]

i will be trying for a friend on Sunday and would be happy to use Thursday to try and get someone else a ticket, so if you want send me reg no. & postcode I will try for you. Also for Sunday if you fail to get a coach ticket.

My thought was if I get though I send you a message (assuming this site is coping) with my mobile number and you call me with payment details, after it goes through I send you a screen print and I assume you also get a confirmation email. If anyone can think of a better way to work this please let me know.

[DeanoL]

And people who actually want/need a coach!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Well, you can always book one separately. Trying for a friend Thursday who wants to get the coach regardless, but if don't get a package she'll just book an National Express one.

Near impossible to predict. London will be more popular, but equally London will have had more coaches to start with. The only variation would be if certain areas had more cancellations. Perhaps there's a correlation with less affluent areas leading to people less likely to pay off the deposit, and hence more tickets available? But that's really clutching at straws. In reality I'd say it'll be pretty random.

Not to put the cat amongst the pigeons, but I'd like to raise the question of refresh frequency. My personal methodology was as follows:

• Attempt to load the payment page on each of my browsers on desktop/laptop/tablet/phone.
• When the payment page times out, refresh the page.

I didn't hit F5 continuously, only when the page timed out. Because I had a few devices on the go, I was in fact refreshing about once every couple of seconds, but not on the same tab - that would just cancel my current request, when it may in fact be in the process of getting through to the payment page.

Anecdotal, non-representative sample size alert: I was trying for the coach tickets in the original sale and got through to the payment page 3 times. 2 of the times were on other browsers that eventually completed whilst I was entering my details. They did not all get through at once.

Reading some of the references to hammering F5 is making me worry that some of you might be harming your chances by hitting refresh just as you're about to get through. Any thoughts?

You're just teasing now, jeeeez I'm nervous

This has worked for me both times I have tried on one tab

[A Guy Called Matt]

I had 8 windows open with one tab per window (8 is our lucky number!!) All of them were refreshed using F5 until I started getting to the auto refresh screen that refreshed in 20 seconds.

I then used 4 on auto refresh and 4 with me pressing f5.

In effect it gave me a new refresh approx every 2.5 seconds.

Impossible to say if I was about to get through when I refreshed but suffice to say that with less than 5 minutes left before sold out tweet I got through on one I pressed f5 on........

As I was filling in details all the others got through!
