Yes, that's what I was saying (I was agreeing with you), the 900001 link was redirecting to the add regs page which has now been taken down, which is what they did before the resale two weeks ago. 

Gotcha... rubs sleep out of eyes

Well if there was another resale the good news is our odds would appear to be much better judging by the number of watchers...

I work around errors like a "no response from server" by retrying, but if a page returns a 200 with the text "Processing maximum number of transactions" I've chosen not to discard them as they are legitimate changes and *could* indicate that something is happening.

As the sale happened 2 weeks ago, I refreshed the 900001 link (which had been "page not found" until this point) and got "processing maximum number of transactions". My next refresh took me to the enter registration page.

It's in the ticket competitions thread down the page (or up the page if someone's bumped it!)

Congrats to @StoneCircle, glad someone from this thread got tickets after the last few weeks.

[lingle]

well done. Great news. 

[freakifrank]

Well Done Stone Circle. Good Karma .

Lets hope for some more wins for people on here with other competitions.

Does it seem like there's more competitions this year? But maybe it's because there's a greater focus on here? I wonder if, rather than having further "secret" resales, GFL offer the last few dozen returned/cancelled tickets to commercial partners for competitions?

Seems about normal to me I think. If anything, I'm expecting more to crop up. WaterAid, EE, Oxfam, Glastonbury, Thatchers, National Express are all partners so would get the bulk of the comp tickets. eFestivals makes sense, radio stations will get them (e.g. radio X), and local newspapers. Seems like that would be the minimum with some extras handed out who knows where from (other popular websites, newspapers)
