holmz Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Fair play to Siblin for the hard work here - giving hope to the masses! My ticket is (thankfully) sorted, but still will be keeping a keen eye on the glasto ticket page as (always) some of my mates were not so fortunate. I've had a bit of a stab at writing my own script to monitor the page for changes. It gets the contents of page, filters out the "serverTime" (as that annoyingly changes each time) and then writes a file with a checksum of the filtered contents. Then the next time the script runs it compares the checksum of the filtered contents with the file written on the previous iteration and notifies me if there is a difference. So far I only have the output going to a webpage (which is pointless as if I am checking that, then I might as well be checking the original seetickets page ). Next step will be to e-mail me if there are changes; which should be pretty straight forward... but the holy grail would be for it to send an SMS alert. I fear the ticket resales will have come and gone by the time I have finished coding it up though :-( Best of luck to you all - hopefully see you next month in a field... in the beautiful sunshine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Despite what seems to be unfolding this week I still have complete blind faith that I'm going to be at glasto, wether through the secret resale or a competition. There is no version of events in my minds eye where I am watching Mary j blige other than in a packed pyramid field with a cider in one hand and a glasto ciggy in the other.

I fear the ticket resales will have come and gone by the time I have finished coding it up though :-( Best of luck to you all - hopefully see you next month in a field... in the beautiful sunshine Pretty much exactly what I've done, though I use the "diff" utility rather than a checksum. I also use some image comparison tools. Different pages have different lines which need filtering out. I can do sms but it costs a couple of pence per text at the mo so it could soon rack up in cost when a page is flapping! That's one thing you have to consider - some kind of back off. I.e if youre checking every minute, when a change is noticed, back off for a while to avoid masses of spam email. Good work though!

Same here, this only the 2nd time I've failed to get a ticket in the original sale last time (I think about 5 years ago) there was a secret sale between Oct and June and I managed to buy 4 tickets no problem, so hoping I get lucky this week as the closer it gets the more I cannot imagine not being there.

Sounds like you're on the right track.. Yeah I was using diff originally to find out why the contents kept changing every time, despite content seeming to be the same.. that was when I discovered the serverTime variable and had to regex it out. Cheers for the tips - with a fallow year next year I might almost be ready by the next festival.... hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holmz Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 You don't get off so easily - the fallow year is 2017! Oh yeah!! I'll try to blame my mistake on the fallow year being bumped from 2011 to 2012 knocking it out of sequence... but that would just be a lie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manateemike Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 O the joys of working nights. This sale is going to be the death of me. Waking up at 1pm then 2 and then 3pm. I'm bloody knackered. Going to have to go through it all again tomorrow. Come on GFL sort it out, preferably at 1am :-) Good luck all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjglasto Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Would anyone mind setting up a forwarding thing to my email from theirs if the page monitor is working for them? It may be sorted now on mine but just in case. Would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
