Secret resales 2015

[beefykoala]

You guys think you're stressed... we are in Eastern timezone USA, and we already have our flights booked. That means a 5am alarm each day until it's over, AND we are sort of SOL if we don't get tickets. 

I'm trying to be zen about it though - if it doesn't happen, well, maybe it wasn't meant to be? Although screw that, we HAVE to go. 

I guess I'm doing the late shift

[Friend Chicken]

I'm on Pacific time so 8 hours back. Currently it's almost 7:30pm - I'm going to try sleeping until midnight (8am BST) then stay awake till work.

Oh shit son, that's brutal. Hoping we can both laugh this off very soon!!

Good morning everyone (and night to those in different time zones) here we go again!

[General Lee]

Yep, morning all. Trying to get all potential not-at-desk work duties out the way as early as possible this morning. Going to cut out drinks and toilet breaks this afternoon too. I only seem to get phone reception in this building around my area so if I'm away I doubt I'll even get a text in time.

Hoping it's today for you guys

Morning all, checking in and in a big brother geordie style accent......

"Daaay 2 in the secret resale thread....thread mates waking to another day, spirits are high and everyone is positive and optimistic. Some of the thread mates across the world are hardcore, staying awake all night, setting alarms for silly-o'clock such is their determination. Liquid intake and loo breaks will start to get rationed as this becomes very very real. Thread mates are hoping for a swift resolution to their plight, so that plans can be made and their sanity preserved. Good luck thread mates, may the ticket gods smile on you all todaaaaaay....."

it hasn't been earlier than 5 days after the refund deadline in he last 6 years, and this is only day 4, so I'm going to chance being away from my desk for a couple of hours this morning.

they won't do it before 10am, right?

This again! Makes me feel a bit queasy haha.

If I have one piece of advice with the secret resales it is do not stress over it to the point where it takes over your life! It makes the crush even worse if you don't end up with tickets. Go with the flow and don't beat yourself up. Good luck everyone! xxx

Can't believe its only the second day of what could be two weeks of this. Wonder how long til i turn all Jack Torance.

Way past this sadly. Almost nightly Glastonbury related nightmares since missing out on resale day. I try not to think about it but even my subconscious is against me haha

does anyone know when the final refund deadline was each of those years?

has a secret resale ever been in the week after the refund deadline?

To be clear - the norm is for it to happen the week after, with 2015 as an exception (we think see tickets had problems processing refunds).

Would be interesting to know if anyone got a refund last week and if it was processed easily

[ghostdancer1]

not a normal ticket, but I got a WV refund last week and it was processed within 1 day.
