It's varied for me, I've had the booking form load again and then process fine, I've also been booted back to the queue & had to get through again, but fortunately when I did I was greeted with "tickets already purchased for these registrations" message. And I've also been given a completely bank page, that wouldn't do anything with refreshing or clicking back, but still got the confirmation email half hour later 

That's some pretty good results I reckon.  You could only better that with "I got so hammered on the night before that I slept through the ticket sale - only to be woken up by the `ting` of the confirmation email arriving".

I may have done that....

First time I got tickets, I was that person too! Woke up tagged in a Facebook status. Oh I miss my naivety, probably wont sleep the night before let alone sleep through the sale.

In the 2011 resale I went out the night before & arrived home at 8.30am still very much shitfaced & got myself a single ticket. It was the blank page sale from up ^ 

i couldn't sleep after getting the email, and felt horrendous later in the day,

ah youth

I think it depends on why it failed, which in turn determines whether your session is still valid. If your session is still valid you'll be able to submit the form again, but if it isn't you get booted out to the queue massive crowd rioting at the gates.

I'm not a person that generally worries or gets anxious about stuff but this is stressing me out no end. I just feel like it's going to be harder this year because of the fallow year and the potentially uncertain future of the festival.

[mufcok]

I generally cack myself about it every year, this year more than ever. I've always had a theory that the year Daft Punk and/or The Stone Roses do it I'll miss out..

Genuinely...?

Ha, it's an easy mistake to make! 

I'm not sure if I'm any more nervous than usual. After last year I'm sort of resigned to failure... not sure if that's worse, to be honest. Maybe setting myself up for less disappointment!

And this is why I'll be ahead in the pecking order for tickets.  I'm willing to sit here in my own filth on a Sunday morning for a sweet sweet ticket

[DropBeat]

I'm definitely more nervous than I have been in the past. Kinda expecting the worse, and have a similar fear that Daft Punk will be booked and I'll miss out. 

Started organising my group last night. Pointed out the fallow year, and now they're all head in the game determined to secure tickets.

Just imagine what it's going to be like just over two weeks from now...

That's a long time for the madness to evolve, given where many of us are already!

What are everyone's opinions on making two separate registrations? I fear if I get tickets in one group I will cut off the others

Also is there a limit to how many can be bought on one card? If I got through twice for friends (Probability 0.0001%) could I purchase again on the same card?

Nothing stopping you having two registrations, but if both groups get you a ticket you would be in danger of the ticket(s) being cancelled 

There is no limit in how many tickets you purchase with one card, only the balance available in your debit card. I bought two groups of tickets two years ago.

Let's face it, if shitting in your pants and giving it a good squeeze with your cheeks for a couple of hours led to guaranteed tickets, the Daz sales would skyrocket for one week.

Recycling place confirmed! Whoop. I may have done a small dance in the office.

Thanks Avalon!

 

In ref to the tickets being cancelled, I was thinking of using a separate address - would this help? Fingers crossed if it comes to it I am able to tell group A or B not to put me in, in time. I wouldn't usually be so selfish but one group are technophobes & haven't been before and I CANNOT rely on them alone - I've had to make most of their registrations for Christ sake..

Hi. Can't say for certain how thorough See would be in looking for likely duplications, I suspect they wouldn't pick up the same name with a different address. But be mindful if it is fair if you ended up with two tickets on ticket day, effectively depriving someone else. If you must....I'd suggest you instantly advise the other group when you get one ticket and make sure a second purchase is avoided.

Sorry if I'm missing something here but surely there's no advantage to creating two registrations.  Can't you just give both groups your actual details?  You say you fear that getting tickets in one group will mean cutting off the others, not sure what this means?

I'm going to be in Barcelona when tickets go on sale. How easy/difficult is it getting through from abroad?
