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.
