Is there a way to make sure Chrome/Safari/IE/FF/Whatever has all your shit in auto fill and that it's Glasto compliant (e.g. doesn't put your phone number in the credit card number slot)?

[smudger]

I don't think so.

Remember coach tickets are less likely to be returned as that's an extra ten quid lost, making it £25 per ticket, which psychologically seems a lot more than the £15 for regular tickets.

Plus, while I didn't get tickets for my friend yet, it seemed quieter, both on here and in terms of the website falling over itself. There's been a lot less publicity about the resale this year too (as last year it was all "The Rolling Stones are playing Glastonbury - there's still a chance to get tickets").

And it seems most people got in to the site at least once, even if by then there were no coaches left from their location or they lost the last ticket while putting in details. I've not heard of any stories of people getting nowhere near (which certainly happened to me last year when trying for friends).

I'm more confident about getting tickets on Sunday now than I was 24 hours ago any way.

[theDandy]

didn't get tickets again, sigh

[majormajormajor]

I found it about 1000 times easier yesterday than any other sale i've experienced. i got in several times, in the past i have never made it past the holding page...

have faith for sunday !!

[theDandy]

I got through 7pm bang on with auto refresh, froze and didn't press stop and it f**ked me off out, then got through towards the end and it kept saying that I had to pick a coach destination for BOTH people & wouldn't let me through to put card details in? Then they'd sold out! Oh well, Sunday we have about 8 people trying for 4 tickets, fingers crossed! I'm staying positive

[AndrewMcF]

Anyone aware of any proxies or anything than can jump the queue?

Good(ish) performance yesterday, just hope there are more numbers on sale on Sunday

One big advantage to sunday is that there's only really 1 package available - whereas coach sales you're bidding on a specific combination of city, departure time and day (and whether it's single or return)... meaning there are lots of little 'pots' that run out at different times. Sunday should all be one big pot of general admission tickets, so if you can get on you should have a better chance of getting something.

[UEF]

True we probably wasted loads of time last year in the coach sale, trying different departure dates and even days. Whereas the Sunday sale is a straight buy tickets click.

Did you try last night? I see from your sig you appear to be still ticketless, feel for you and everyone else. We've been there a few times and it's really horrible.

[kalifire]

There'll undoubtedly be many more tickets on Sunday than there were yesterday, and as you say, in one big pot rather than split up by day/origin of travel.

For what it's worth, I got through very quickly in October (9:32am) and yesterday (7:03pm) and I had one browser window and one tab. Rather than have loads of tabs/windows open I just focussed one one, manually F5-ing it the second I saw that it was the hold page. I probably refreshed every second, if not more. The danger in doing that is you become so used to refreshing that when the booking page comes up, you refresh again out of habit and lose it, so you have to concentrate so as not to do that. But it's a tactic that's worked on every occasion I've tried it.

[storm]

Yeah I tried and was fruitless. Kinda glad though, I don't really want to go by coach.

But I would've made the same mistake as a lot of people, which is selecting the first time on the first day, faffing about too much, finding it's sold out before moving to the next available time, which then sells out... etc.

Sunday SHOULD be a lot cleaner, but yeah I'm still totally without a ticket. "All those who truly want a ticket will get one".

[UEF]

Agreed, manual refreshing here also. Got 'on' a couple of times but always failed or out of stock at the processing credit card stage... gits.

[UEF]

I used to disagree with that but I do now after eventually getting ours last year. it took some dedication and commitment but it's definitely doable if you keep trying. You are right, you will get one

[kalifire]

Question: do they announce they little sales? I imagine after the cancellation date on 9th there'll be another mini-resale for those who asked for a refund between 27th and 9th, and possibly another resale in June for the final tickets held for whatever reason but not used. How do they advertise those?

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

anyone not got a specific time for their coach travel? My mate got coach tickets from Reading last night (I've got the confirmation email etc.) but he's saying he didn't get a departure time? Anyone else experience this?
