Will I not just need to put in my ID number and password etc? You don't need to register again. All you need is the number and post code.

Shiftyp9 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 14 minutes ago, smudger said: It is seconds. I had the form ready to go. Pressed proceed the second the site when live, it hung for a couple of seconds so I pressed send again, waited for probably about 5 seconds and then went to the main page, clicked on buy tickets, cut and pasted in 4 reg numbers and postcodes hit proceed and got the sold out page. Didn't even get as far as the payment page and I'm very quick at cutting and pasting. I don't think it was even 90 seconds. Felt more like 20. In the past I've brought tickets in the secret sale in under that, the pages respond immediately so it literally is seconds. I said that the other day and got shot down smudger... someone said it was 2 mins. I was literally manually refreshing every couple of seconds though and as soon as the page changed... bam... I inputted my details super quick and it was sold out. I literally could not have been any quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobo Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) @smudger and @Shiftyp9, did you both try in the secret resale last year with no luck? Edited May 11, 2017 by lobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurabond Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 long time lurker coming out of the shadows, those comments above are filling me with fear!!! seconds?!! I and 10 of my friends already have tickets but a certain someone decided after October that they wanted a ticket (we literally could just have added her details to the two batches of tickets we got in the initial sales if she hadn't been a plonker!) No luck in resales so I'm hoping for secret resale luck, but I'm stuck at an office desk with little way of sneakily refreshing my page every second, so it's kind of as and when I think to check... thinking of getting the checkpage thing but I'm terrified that I'll get the text in a meeting and not be able to excuse myself The nerves this is causing me and it's not even a ticket for me ahhhhhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchesterGlasto Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yeah I think les than 90 seconds. Can't see there being more than a few hundred tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophcleo Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Question is do I spend more seconds putting in more people's reg details or do I just do the one that's most important?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatMitt Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Sorry if this has already been asked. If I want to use chrome autofill how do I make it differentiate the 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th registration number and postcodes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet6 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 OK I'm nervous about the pre-filled form now, back to plan A. With ninja skills I have timed 9 seconds to fill out the form with the 3 reg numbers and postcodes I need. Not bad, not bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophcleo Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 @crump3t I already have tickets, mother in law is desperate to go and I just asked my cousin on whether he wanted to go if I get through, he said yes and sent me his friends details too! No one else is trying for them, I'm just putting in the hours because I can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basicminds Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Unfortunately in the office today trying to manage work and resales at same time! I just explained this process to my colleagues and they all seem slightly concerned at the effort we are putting in and started talking about going to other festivals instead. Pfft.

Had an autofresher going every second, but still missed out. Have got tickets every year for the past 4 years this way. Not for me, but there has always been some of our group who have needed them. Last year was the first time I completely failed and they were missing in June. Need 3 this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moheetoes Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) i've bought a few times this way also, always for the wider glastonbury group who haven't had much luck over the years, this year (due to a group buying mix up) i have to secure my partner's ticket - our house is very strange at the moment (he's not a happy bunny) as i have my ticket and he doesn't, so there's definitely no glastobating in our house currently and definitely no plans being made until we know one way or the other. If unsuccessful, i'lll be going without him and he'll be dog sitting. if we do secure him a ticket - it'll be our 10th glastonbury together, hope karma is on my side Edited May 11, 2017 by moheetoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
