Imagine being completely prepared for a secret resale at any moment for something like a week of sitting around waiting and then only to have to go back to work and still checking on a consistent basis only to be called to a meeting for an hour in the afternoon and the resale happened at that exact moment, i still remember my phone going mental in my pocket but i could not leave this meeting all the while i knew it was the dreaded resale, that meeting was one of the longest hours of my life and then the absolute devastation that followed the meeting when i seen they had all gone as i had expected was up there as a real shit moment! I had to book a holiday to be out the country for glasto week last year due to that! I was also furious at my boss and made sure he knew about it! I moved departments soon after when i got my promotion but i still haven't forgiven that man! It swings in roundabouts though (although it didnt feel like it at the time) as i got mine in October for 2016. I sincerely hope you all manage to get a ticket and that none of you get taken to a meeting at that moment either!

I have a meeting (my one and only of the day) at 3pm today, ahhhh!!

Me too... my appraisal! Whether I remain focussed throughout could be the difference between "exceeded" and "met".

there's 106 who are signed up to get alerts on the 'tour' page (which was the most recent to alert, at 14:01:06) ... and I'm pleased to say the system is remaining very very fast. :)

http://www.checkpage.co.uk

 

 

The quickest method is using the 'VisualPing' extension in Chrome. It checks every second as long as the tab is open on that URL. Alerts you within 1 second of the page change.

I'm using one called Page Monitor which is also very good, checks every 5 seconds and you do not need to have the tab open :) makes a scary cuckoo sound and has a desktop notification too

Yeah, if you are relying on SMS you will be behind everyone using VisualPing and PageMonitor by a good 10 to 20 seconds I would think.

sms is great for when youre on the move. I'd say Neil's is sure worth the fiver for that reassurance

This is true but those tools are not without their limitations, will drain your battery and give off a lot of false positives.

Nice - added to me Chrome - I'm like a bloody one man band here - whatsapp notifications, SMS, Email, Visual Ping, Siblins notification, and now page monitor! I dread to think how loud it will be here when they finally do go on sale!!!

Yeah i think so - there was an  update on the ticket_ga page that went out, though you might not be setup to monitor that one.

You can just have chrome open (i have it on a tab as well but don;t think you have to). it then pops up on the bottom right with an alert when there is a change, like a new email would flash up.

I can't understand your bosses logic here, if i was calling a meeting I would send anybody who was in your situation straight out to buy their tickets. Only takes a few minutes to do and you'd end up with one happy member of staff afterwards who's a damn site more likely to work well for you!

I agree, When I am away from the computer I am reliant on WhatsApp.
