As last year it lasted approx 90 sec`s you will not have time to identify and delete those reg`s that have been used and then re-submit. This is a big issue people forget about. Be careful you keep track of where reg's might be used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some friend or friend's brother's dog walker's ex-gardening assisant's teacher's friend's aunt who works with someone who knows someone at See or GF? Nothing new from very brief check ins over the weekend. The main topic of discussion seemed to be VIP tickets - I retained nothing informative, so go dig if that sounds interesting. We had a fairly solid rebuff from See last week - but I was reflecting that this wasn't a very public rebuff, so sending it to one person and that it then making it into our echo-chamber doesn't really stand out as a firm denial to me. Neil seemed to think they were in a bit of chaos at SEE, that they may need all the tickets for the festival, that they may not, and worth waiting / holding out for a few more days (Tuesday was suggested). There's (pretty much?) always been a resale, but before now the longest wait between refund dates was approx 13 days I think. In other anecdotes one person on here has been told hundreds were being returned (c.f. the bit above about maybe they need them all). Main thing is, we're still here Edit: Re the SEE rebuff - I think it also said something like, 'there is no such thing as secret resales', I mean wtf? loada rubbish Edited May 22, 2017 by p.pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayC Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Morning all, checking in and checking straight back out. First day for 2 weeks that I won't have access to laptop or regular access to phone. Good luck to all trying should it be today, which knowing my luck it will be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bb-dog Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Is there a chance that the tickets that See have been able to give away to their mates of late (for example to the efestivals guy) has replaced the secret sale. Sick if it has, extra tickets going to the corporate machine. Why not give one of the workers a bonus by giving them a ticket, and let another volenteer take their place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they can just decide to add to the number of hospitality/workers tickets as the number of punters, workers and Sunday tickets are set out in the license. Plus I expect they'd rather the money goes to charity rather than a handout for someone's annual junket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But rather than sell them on, give more to the corporate fat cats. While at the same time companies make money from web tracking services.
