Just make sure cache is checked when you clear history 

Cool thanks

What are people referring to as a white screen?

For me, I mean a screen that isn't even the holding page. It often says something like "failed to load" or something but is predominantly white and tends to freeze up when you try to refresh, as if it's not actually doing anything. I tend to find that if I get white-screened, i.e. unable to even get the holding page, then I generally don't get through.

It's sort of like being behind a barrier that's not even in the main scrum for sales and trying to get over that to even get into the scrum.

Fear levels have risen for everyone now thinking they're gonna get a white screen. It'll be fine guys!

Well it fucked me over last year. So I'm wary. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Why am I shitting it about tonight?!

 

I'm not trying til Sunday.

 

Time to depart this thread for a few days......

Wasn't the white screen a symptom of possibly getting a cookie of death? Basically once you had it you'd never get through, hence clearing your cache and starting again.

I'm sure you'd be fine, just clear your cache like 15 mins before the sale if you're still worried about it.

I'd probably end up with this rather than a white screen..

Yeah it got me last year too.

 

Do different web browsers make any difference, Firefox seems to work better than Safari but is that just a myth?

It was a different computer - actually my boyfriend's dads - so I would have felt weird fucking about with his settings. I won't clear the cache on this one as I've already put my regs into that other link! But I make no assumptions until today and Sunday are over. Last year was the worst ever for me.

Haha apologies, would be a good way to put people off trying Sunday though!

AHH, thats what i thought. wasn't sure because it still had registration details on it. cheers! 

[kalifire]

Good luck to everyone going for it tonight. It'll be 4am here so sadly I can't help, but I'll be eagerly logging in first thing in the morning.

Oh, I got this confirmation from the GF office yesterday:

Quote

The type of card you need to use is determined by the registration of the lead booker (the first registration you enter on the booking site). Therefore if the first person is registered in the UK you need to use a UK registered card, if the first person in overseas you need to use an internationally registered credit card.

Somebody was asking about the issue of cards earlier on. Hopefully that clarifies it.

[Hugh Jass]

Just bought something online and impressed myself with how I knew my 16 digit card number by heart and how quickly I could enter it without even looking.

It's a good sign.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it changes or (most likely) gets redirected to another url.

[Madyaker]

Does anyone have a jpeg or any other image of what the coach and ticket page looks like?

I use 3 or 4 different ones in case of any incompatibilities with how they render the page, but that's more out of fear than any real expectation of problems (the booking page isn't complicated so it's not likely to have any issues).

I used to be able to do this but I got caught up in some data protection breach or something a few weeks ago so have a new card now  Thank goodness for copy and paste or I know full well I'd put the old number in by accident.

[fat_man_joe]

Not been on here since just after 2016, but good to see everyone's still going strong!

I hope you're all successful! Can't believe I'm already buying tickets for the next one.

Yes....pretty sure it was caused by a cookie being issued that pointed you to a dead back end server.  The only way to resolve it is for the server admin to clear the sticky table at See's end so that requerying only directs to a live server, for the cookie to time out, or for you to clear your cache including cookies, and restart your browser.

I recommend the doing the latter....clear your browser cache including cookies and restart the browser.

Alternatively start up a new different browser (Chrome instead of Firefox etc) or fire up a new machine.

It's been a slow burner, but now I am officially bricking it
