had the holding page. got the reg page at about 9.15, input details and got a message saying that they had 'run out of stock' while I was inputing details; went back and got timeout; went back again and sold out.

totally crushed. missed my first glasto since I started going this year, and was really excited to get back to it. absolutely gutted.

PC died early on (could not even see the page after 9am) - got thru to the ticket buying page on 3g and proceeded to get kicked out 5 times after entering card details and hitting proceed. I don't understand why the tickets are not reserved for you after you have put in your reg details, many other sellers reserve you tickets for like a 10 minute window after you have selected what you want. I don't see how its fair that someone can effectively buy the tickets you have selected whilst you are waiting for their server to connect.

I also dont get how 5 mins before they sold out, Eavis tweeted saying there were half the tickets remaining......... they sold half the tickets in 20 mins and half in 5?

I have officially had it now, I know I am over reacting a bit here but after what happened to me last year and getting as far as the payment page only to get binned five times this year I have had it, I am now going to go into hiding so you won't see me on this site for a long, long while!

hopefully many people here got tickets. I know there are lots of die hards here and I hope the ones that really wanted them got them.

I also hope Neil got his, I know he prefers to buy than get a free one (I seem to remember him saying he could get tickets but preferred to buy).

I am not even going to bother with the resale I don't think.

I am absolutely convinced it is easier to buy from the North. I had not a peep down here in the south east, the same for all the other locals I know. For the last few years it is a friend in the North who has sorted me, and I thought last year there were loads more northern accents than normal.

Well, for the first time in 10 years I didn't get myself a ticket, couldn't get past the holding page, across several devices and network connections. Then "Sold Out" flashed up on them all. Balls. Then a message poped up on my iphone from my mate, he'd got me a ticket! Over the moon!

Commiserations for those who weren't so lucky.

They'd be better off just doing a lottery of registrations (confirm you want to go this year etc) and emailing you the results. It'd save people wasting an hour seeing nothing but a blank server error screen, with an occasional 'queue' page chucked in (which promptly returns to server error after 20s) to give you false hope of course.

I reckon if you even got the holding page you had more success than most. From 9:00am until sold out all I got was page unavailable. Time to find a new festival to attend. Give it a few years and it will sellout in under 5 minutes.

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
