Has anyone checked the source on that page to see what is changing - if that's possible? 

Been forced to take my break so relying on my phone for the next half hour, but it seems unlikely that they'll run it during commuter times. 

Or maybe they will so it's not as mad as last time...

distill I think

[Nobody Interesting]

Oh well, looked so promising earlier.

Best not be tomorrow morning as I am tied up and unable to be at PC or on phone!

[beefykoala]

Yeah I'm going to downgrade my monitoring after 5pm and start again tomorrow.

Yeah, it's a consideration, but they know people will be getting pings and could be pulling onto hard shoulders to get sorted. Not the best press in the world.

It was perhaps somewhere between 2 and 3 minutes. I got through, bought a ticket, posted in a whatsapp group and by that point they'd all gone.

/me goes and digs out the exact data...

can't you be a little more exact ?

[Bovla]

3 different page checkers all independently checking 4 web pages, I think I'll miss this next year

it was exactly 2 minutes 31 seconds between checkpage detecting that the front page had put tickets on sale, until it detected them taken off sale again.

Has more worthy view stuff happened @siblin... or just that one change earlier?

[Alking]

Seem to be hearing more stories of mates working at the festival being able to get people in this year….

Is it a sign of lots of spare tickets or a way of getting rid of the last few??

Great for those in the know but not so good for us mere mortals..

they just added the option for a scout tent (they removed it before in favour of the bell tents - they now have both), but not actually put any up for sale yet

So assuming we get tickets, there aren't any WV options left?

Dunno - last year i got a yurt just after the resale but it really depends on what order see tickets do things

Seems unlikely today now...

sysadmins dont like doing things at the end of the day in case it breaks and they have to stay late.  I think you're safe for now

Should I just ignore the frequent pings then... do they not mean there is, at least, someone doing something?
