siblin Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 weirdly the main glastonbury ticket info page just had a blip too - it went invalid and back again so cant easily see if they made any changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello... I'm Johnny Cash Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 5 alerts in 6 minutes! As this keeps happening could something be put in place to stop the flurries? like an if statement that checks how long it has been since the last alert was sent and if it's less than say 10 minutes it doesn't send it out?

GrowlerPhil Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Was there definitely accommodation available or did they just move the WV car park pass into that section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majormajormajor Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 They moved the locations of their html list tags. Eg. where you see car parking now, it was tipi village before, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand where you're coming from and I completely get why you're saying it .... but how good is a page-change alerter which doesn't alert you to page changes? I'm well aware that the flurries are far from ideal in many ways, and I'm open to any ideas, but it needs to keep to it's primary function of alerting for page changes.

Funkyfairy! Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 39 minutes ago, siblin said: Yeah see tickets Customer Service kept telling people who asked there wouldnt be any resales, in spite of the recommendations from some of us not to hassle see tickets about it. the resale was over in a flash. cant be sure of volumes but it seems from feedback on here on who got tickets the volumes of returned tickets was much less than other years. I think this year might be even more brutal, with a good line-up and what seems like no time at all between payment date and refund deadline (why would people have changed their mind in the last week or so?) Very limited I think although I do know of one person who was wavering, paid his balance to give himself more time to think and then got a refund this week - but thats just one ticket :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefykoala Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Add me to the sad list of people who would sell a kidney to go and didn't get a ticket, despite waking up at 3:30am Eastern time both sales and clicking F5 for an hour with no booking page ever in sight... not that I'm bitter. We can't not get tickets. We've already booked our flights!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point - here's hoping there's enough to make a resale worth it for seetickets and a few people are lucky , as I was for friends last year. Reg numbers for efesters pinned to PC at work just in case and checkpage credits purchased :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrowlerPhil Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I signed up to check page last night at 8.30 but I didn't receive any texts or Emails during that activity. Does it normally take that long for it to start working ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a guess, you didn't complete the final part of the set-up, which is selecting the page(s) you wish to monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
