Congrats to all who got their tickets last night!

I wanted to have a crack at it, but since this our first one, my friend insited he wants to drive all the way from Belfast instead of flying to Bath and getting a coach from there.

Roll on Sunday i suppose, but i dont think we will be lucky.

I havent seen a buy ticket page in years too (think its 2009), and Im in Ireland. I will no doubt be reliant of the luck of others again this year

We're in Ireland too and always get through, though sometimes it's the resales or even the secret sales or there's a hitch in the booking (wrong reg being a common one)and they sell out before we finish but at least one of us always sees a booking page..

8 people trying last night and 4 got through to the booking pages. all within a couple of minutes.

I don't think your location makes any difference tbh

I am sure that the only difference is the broadband connection that you're trying on. Every time I try on my own broadband I don't get tickets. Every time I've tried from my work connection I'm through straight away. Clearly my office have paid for some super-fast broadband!

If you work in an office, definitely get down there on Sunday and log on!

Yep. I logged in to my work computer in the re sale last year and got through as they sold out but got further than on my home computer.

it's luck, and nothing else.

All page requests are a request to serve data back.

The server will only serve the buying page back when it has a spare 'slot' in the buying system to allocate to that request.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
