Mind you, there have been reports of people getting tickets before the main sale in the past. Perhaps part of the testing process is actually allowing a single sale?

Wasn't that all through 'back door' pages and such that have been clamped down on more recently? It's not an unreasonable suggestion, though all of this 'testing' and 'checking' for a sale that's supposed to be secret and only for a few tickets seems rather weird

[smudger]

Can't see it. As someone who has fluked tickets in the past, one year See accendely turned on sales during some training, the process has always been the same as normal.

It wouldn't be client facing though

I'm surprised they do any testing that would be client facing

I may be being naive as I've never witnessed the secret resale stuff, but is seems very clear to me that, at the moment, you can clearly buy tickets for Worthy View accommodation, campervan tickets and car parking passes. That's all.

They have certainly been displaying, removing, and then displaying again various coach ticket links but at no point has there been a Buy coach Tickets button. The coach things MUST have a been a test to make sure all the details were correct before they go 'live' with them.

Can't think of any other reason for the flurry of seetickets activity on their website over the last hour or so.

I haven't seen or heard of these? 

Some people have reported getting through on T Day before the sale officially started. Could have been BS but they've seemed pretty adamant.

I do a lot of this in my line of work, we'd always test it in a test environment rather than an actual customer - But you never know!

Why are we assuming it'll definitely be on the hour... Have I missed something?

[Fags]

Does anyone know if you get tickets when you get on the coach or when you get off at the festival?

On the coach, half way through the journey.

We got through at 8.55 one year in the main sale, had the tickets bought before the sale even started

It could be at any point between now and next week or so.  Testing has been sporadic and has included changes at the hour mark

You're supposed to get them while on the coach-most people report that the driver hands them out when at a rest stop or something. 
Others have said that they've had to queue onsite to get them after getting off the coach-but I've only heard a few people say this.

Just an historical assumption/educated guess. Most ticket releases are done on the hour.

i've been twice on the coach, the first time they gave us the tickets on the bus. The 2nd time we had to que for them at the ticket office at the festival.
