For Android, I've had this on my phone for a couple of weeks after it was recommended on here. 

Web Alert: Watch any website for changes.

I'd find this so useful for all sorts of things - not just this - as the likes of followthatpage are less useful being pc based. But unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an iPhone equivalent

I understand that members of the community goes first, but if by any chance you have a free email slot, could you please take mine ? thanks

as for page monitors, I found the Firefox extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/alertbox/ very good, and you can set it up to every 5second!

Last year some absolute hero set up a whatsapp group. It remained inactive until the tickets went on sale. I managed to get one because of it. If that happens to be set up definitely jump on board. For the life of me i cannt remember the name of the absolute legend who set it up last year. I still owe them a pint of hot and spicy!! 

This seems like a fantastic idea, I'd love to be apart of the Whatsapp group, if it doesn't get set up within the next few days I'd be happy to try and set one up?

Hi!

Could you possibly set me up for the page change email notification thingy that you set up?

 

Thanks, Siblin

it has all made me so stressed

 

and I have my ticket, just now trying for friends . I got so anxious i forgot I had my ticket and got all down when I didn't get through

[1lizb1]

I can never get through, tried for 5 years! It's always a friend who manages to get our tickets. Upgraded the broadband and new laptop in September and still didn't get on the page. Didn't get lucky through mates this year either  Fingers crossed for the secret resale......

I missed out again, although trying with 20 friends (unexpeced error). If I set this up correctly, what are my chances? Do you guys normally always get tickets when doing this? I sooooo want to go I'm desperate.

Much hilarity at work. My PC makes the sound of a cuckoo clock, and a few seconds later my phone plays the theme to The Professionals. Yes, the website has just changed to put Photo Registration back on, and both VisualPing and WebAlert are doing their jobs.

[Minky-Monkey]

I just thought about it: Is anyone interested in joining a whatsapp group so we can alert each other once the secret sales are happening? I know I'm new here, but maybe we can help each other in this way? Sent me a P.M. if you are interested!

Same thing happened to me, got very excited briefly!

Ah I thought I was brilliant for a couple of seconds. But thanks a lot!

I am waiting to hear from friends to confirm if they are wanting to go still or if they are leaving the country that weekend. Fingers crossed everyone gets tickets that they need.

Anyone know of any good web alert apps for iPhone rather than android?

[dynamic]

Tried looking for iPhone web alert apps but none have any reviews so not sure what they are like. What is the best web alert add on to use for chrome?

last year how many days after the re sale did the secret resale happen

 

(I know I could trawl through pages of data,, and I have tried the thingy, I have also asked me mam, she doesn't' know)

Two weeks after last year. Think it's been less than that in previous years.

Hmm, there was a secret resale last year on 18th May wasn't there? So about 4 weeks after the main resale - but maybe there was an earlier one as well as the 18th?

People have got until 6th May to cancel their tickets this year. Am guessing the resale is going to be sometime from Mon 9th May onwards - would put my money on the 16th if I had to.

My guess is it will be afternoon on the 11th. Don't hold me to it though

[alexfc94]

The sooner the better. I'm going to be on tenterhooks until then! 

[siblin]

IIRC each year it has been a week or two after cancellation deadline.

In 2014 there was a small dump of coach tickets on the Monday, a handful here and there, and then one main dump of GA tickets later on in the week, I think on the Thurs.

Last year they all seemed to come through at once (no coach resales).  I remember we expected it might be the week after cancellation deadline but there was nothing that week, and it ended up being the week after.  Ultimately his happened on Monday the 18th of May, almost a month after the main sale, and (to my knowledge) there were no other secret resales.  We had some suspicion that it might have been later than planned due to a technical problem processing payments.

This year, as cancellation deadline is the 6th, my guess would be WC 16th, though the 9th isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

I'd settle down for the long-haul folks.
