Dunno. I'm pretty sure I didn't make it up, but it's always a possibility! I remember vividly someone saying that the source had changed to X, and a short time later everyone lost their shit. Maybe it was 2015. It's a few weeks since I read it when doing research for the quagmire we all find ourselves in.

I don't doubt it being a possibility at all. Web developers can easily start changing the code ahead of updating the live page. Web inspector is the limit of my code checking knowledge though unfortunately. Definitely worth checking all options to make this as painless as possible. Cheers!

Hi All, Now I know this won't make up for the fact you're still trying for glasto tickets but I have 2 weekend tickets for the Sound City festival in Liverpool this weekend (won them but can't go

I have just realised someone gave me 2 downvotes too in this thread yesterday, just for asking politely for a link? Made me a bit sad tbh as I'm new here and now my rep is horrible

This thread is titled 'Secret Resales'. That was the whole point. However it now seems to have been high-jacked by people advocating getting in illegally. Hardly the spirit of Glastonbury. We all know

I only know how to view basic code using web inspector with safari, no text like that was visible at all after a quick look. Or was it a more advanced way of checking code to view this?

They have jQuery on the site so you could in theory use it to look for some specific block of text such as "tickets for sale", by popping something like the following in the browser console:

$('#content div:contains(tickets for sale)').length

Which would return something higher than 0 if it found anything hidden or otherwise.

However, in reality this is likely to be a waste of energy - as Neil says you can't make assumptions such as what new text you think there'll be, or even predict how they'll change the page at all.

First someone tried to call me, few minutes later there's someone at the door ringing the bell....

Not sure if I'm gonna be alive by the time the resale window opens....

Keep calm, have a drink of water, you will be OK.


Easy for me to say, I have tickets and am just trying for someone I have never met!! I feel more nervous than when getting my own tickets.

Yeah absolutely, don't think i'll be digging around that deep. Good to know everyone is on it with anything that could help though

Thank you for all of the input within this thread.  It is providing me with some comfort throughout this process.

I have a ticket already but trying for others (girlfriend included) who couldn't get the coach with us so had to try in the main sale.  This is my first experience of the secret resales and it is very stressful!  The not knowing when is the hardest part!  I suspect it will be tomorrow afternoon when I have a work team meeting at 3:30pm :(

Good luck to everyone on here.  Let's hope everyone is successful!

If we knew the secret, we wouldn't end up in this thread ;)

- set up a page monitor
- cancel all appointments for the next 72 hours
- wait

By the time you get this far in it is 99.9% luck - and following this thread.

Then again, it really is luck all the way but the more people you can get trying the better.

Can't really offer any more guidance apart from stick at it.

There is no secret in my experience. You can just give yourself the best shot possble... but even then it's a crap shoot. Over time i've learned to think of it as a lottery basically.

The burrowing idea is probably the easiest way in to be fair, see you at the fence!

I wish I knew.....   although I suspect that living in an area where the internet speed is slow is an almost insurmountable hurdle. In the 10 years I've been trying I've only ever succeeded once and that was in the resale with coach travel in 2015, and I'm sure that was just luck!  I always get really angry at those who manage to get every year without fail - I know I shouldn't though...

As others have said i dont think internet speed makes that much difference. Ive had a complete mix of success and failure on a variation of devices / computers over the past 12 years. Not one thing works the same the following year. It really does seem to be just luck!

      Ethel Cain and Brutus to bookend the day were my highlights. Had been listening to Brutus a bit over the last few weeks and had no clue the vocalist was the drummer, insane workload! Ethel was just other-worldly, and even managed to shut the yappers in the crowd up.   Lana was late, flat, but I was stood near the back and away from the masses and it was alright. Ocean Boulevard stood out, not least because her backing singers seemed to know how to perform better.    Even stuck around for most of The National and really enjoyed a band I've never got on board with before. Just so much good music happening!
