Is it ok to be bricking it about oct tickets already

[Bisque]

I have to get a ticket

[ghandi]

I've managed to get tickets in each year since I started going 09,10,11,13,14,15 . The Euros are next year and my fellow glasto companions are looking to head over for that, whilst one of our past companions has declared his interest in going again. Come October though you know that we'll all be in the pot trying, and after that who knows!

I've been to Glastonbury each year since 02,03 missed out in 04,05 then tickets again 07,08,09,10,11,13,14,15 not once have I got my own ticket always had luck with others getting them for us except 07 when I secured coach tickets ( That was the coach shambles year ) we were left at Glastonbury and had to make our own way home   Hopefully I might get to book our own tickets this year and help some others like others have helped me.

 

P.S. I first went in 95 no ticket no problem

I'm moving to Australia permanently late 2017 most likely so I am desperate to make the next two!

 

It won't stop. I now live in Australia and made the trip back this year. I have tentetive plans to return next year as well, ticket permitting. Travelling such a long way is tiring but exhilarating and in some ways makes the whole thing even more special. Depending on where you base yourself here, come June, you'll want to visit the UK for the heat and you'll come home with a tan. It's weird.

Just been invited to a Christening in Dublin on what will probably be t-day.

Don't worry, we have 't'internet over here and normally don't start drinking till after 10am.

Wonder how long it will be before someone posts about registering twice because they just HAVE to have a ticket!

Umm.... Unless I'm being thick here, and it's happened before, how would registering twice make any difference?

[hfuhruhurr]

used to be fine - but the last 3 years no luck. My mate however has a magical 10 yr old laptop that comes out only for T day... and hasn't failed yet. Got in twice last year to help friends out. There's more than luck involved - must be something technical going on.

I've never got through on my Mac using Safari, Opera, IEsomething & FireFox.

 

Going to be praying to the Gods on t-day (again).

[Hugh Jass]

I've used the same iPad for the last three years and got through every time. It also got me Olympics tickets.

Stupidly early Christening though @ 10am - although I guess the sale will be well done & dusted by that time considering how quickly tickets went for this year.  Drinking at 10am sounds marvellous to me.

I think I'll take my work laptop & connect through VPN as it didn't fail me in this year's resale... if it does, it'll be going straight out of the hotel window.

Sounds like this year's festival.

[JoeyT]

I got through using safari on my very old mac last year.

 

If all else fails however I'll re-register at a friend who lives in the local ticket catchment and get one that way.

[frostypaw]

I'm trying not to brick it but it's there - after ten years on the trot this year is the first time someone else has bought my ticket

I feel my run of luck is up. It's a sign it's time to work it

[rubenz]

I know its all about luck etc etc, but would it be of any use to try one computer at home on normal Virgin media broadband and one logged in to work server via citrix/vpn.

Would this make any difference or just be wasting my time (my computer knowledge is very limited!)

[Mardy]

It's 6 as a maximum, right? and we're seven. Arses.

Haha this is great, I very nearly spat some of my pint over my dinner!!!

Q: Why did the cocktail bar at Cornish Arms have to be open when I got up and had my first morning wander?

 

A: So I could be horrifically hungover the next day

[FuzzyDunlop]

I have put in my holiday requests today Also put in a holiday request for next September if the worst should happen. I will save the money for that.

[H.M.V]

Umm.... Unless I'm being thick here, and it's happened before, how would registering twice make any difference?

 

So, get a ticket in the coach sale, then try general and if lucky to get a ticket in that one they can then throw the coach ticket back in the pot. Hedging ones bets.

I wondered how it would be until the 'should I use multiple IP addresses' question came up. The best technical minds on this forum have pooled their knowledge over the years and come to the definitive answer:

Maybe. We don't know. The latency increase might hurt your chances. It's a very subtle numbers game. Might help.

I think Neil tried the full shebang with multiple IPs one year and didn't get a sniff. Next year he used one computer and got tickets fairly easily. Your anecdotes may vary.

So, maybe.

I believe they put some effort into cancelling both tickets in such situations.
