In this occasion, there seems to have been a server under little to no load that somebody found and kindly shared. Thank you...I'm going to have a read for future reference. This sounds similar to something that happened a few years back with servers. I'm rubbish with technology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcade fireman Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 God dammit wish I had read that host hack file quicker. I was even on this page, just skimmed over it! I don't think it'll be all that practical for the resale, even if there's a loop hole it usually takes a little while for it to appear, and with there not being that many tickets on sale in the first place it would probably have sold out by the time settings get changed.

I'd be wary of using a DR site because the transactions may not actually be permitted / processed unless it was officially failed over to that, so for those that did use it, check and confirm your email / reg as soon as. It's the DR....they failover and test it every now and then. Main site has 3 x 194.X.X.X IP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall when there was a workaround several years ago they resolved it before the next sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larraht Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I managed to get through three times - got all three groups tickets.... no one else trying got a sniff. I have the luckiest F5 fingers in the west this morning! Also got booted off after putting reg details in, pressed to go back and resubmitted...job done. So lucky! A very big smile on this face today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep...it'll be a separate database instance but they'll sync as close to real-time as poss so they can failover if the main site dies.

chuckles07 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Quick question. In all the mad panic I don't remember seeing anything about car parking tickets. Was it there and I missed it? And how do you buy car parking tickets now if you have a GA ticket? Thanks muchly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been giving anybody my card details I guess it would have to be a pretty sophisticated scam to retrieve the registration details.

I could be wrong as I've not driven to the festival for a few years but I think you can buy them when paying the full balance Edited October 9, 2016 by Twisted Melon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike46 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Absolutely buzzing, managed to get 12 of the 18 we needed! if you did miss out, don't worry. Always got friends tickets in the resale, or if you don't want to risk it then apply to work - I've litter picked a few years and it's well worth it...just to get on site and see the excitement building before the Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
