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.
