2017 Ticket Sale

[JSmurphy]

Hi all, any big tips for a first-time ticket buyer? Is it just a case of getting as many of your group together and refreshing the ticket page? If one person gets through, can they secure tickets for six people? Sorry as I'm sure these Qs have been asked a thousand times so if there's a FAQ thread for this sorta thing pls send me that way.

Yep. Destroy your keyboard pressing F5. Take your hairy swingers out of your bags and mash them repeatedly onto the F5 button until you get onto the page and then get the details in as fast as possible. Have them copy and pasted into a word doc open on your desktop for speed. Don't ask questions. If a friend gets in ahead of you and gets tickets See will give you a "tickets have already been purchased for this reservation number" etc etc. 

Failing that, whip out your flute, try stimulate it to semi level, or even 3/4, leaving a degree of floppiness, and smash the fucking shit out of the F5 button with that too.

Prep is the key!

Does anyone have an idea historically how far in advance they announce the ticket sale date?

I always have my laptop, iPad and phone refreshing constantly (phone on 4g, others on wifi).  Have all reg details written on a notepad next to you and your debit card ready.  I find it quicker to type them in than switching windows and copying and pasting (especially on an iPhone).

From around 8:57 until you get through just don't stop hitting refresh on all devices until you get through.  Don't do two tabs on the laptop etc, stick to one.  Don't stop.  Some mates decide to go onto the Whatsapp group after a couple of minutes to tell everyone they are just stuck on the loading page...  no shit!  Don't stop hitting refresh for anything.

I will be definetly be doing all of that thank you ^^, when you say 'all reg details' is this just the name, registration number and postcode of myself and friends?

From memory I don't think you even need the name, just the reg and the post code. I usually go for the cut and paste method - too scared I will mistype! When you get to the next screen all the names are then listed for you, before you confirm.

Yes as mentioned by Zoo Music Girl you just need registration numbers and the corresponding postcodes.

TY!

I'm feeling strangely zen about the whole thing this year, think it may be because I've now reached double figures. 

If it happens great; if not then so be it.

I would like to point out that it is entirely possible to buy tickets without possessing hairy swingers or a flute.  If this is your technique of choice it could explain a great deal!

It's not available until the site goes live now. It was the one that ended add details, but it just redirects to Event not found now. 

Dang. Better practice typing then!!

You're so naive.

First ticket day dream last night. All my group got tickets, except me. They said they thought I didn't want to go this year. :| Other people I know that regularly go also got tickets and so did people who have never even showed an interest in Glastonbury.

Some genius here suggested using text shortcuts, really helped with entering details correctly and is much quicker than typing or cutting and pasting, especially when every second counts.

I had this very dream 3 days ago. I woke up feeling so depressed and truly believed it was real for a good 5 minutes. Awful isn't it?! 

[shuttlep]

I am feeling stressed about this totally bollocks thing which is practically out of my control.

 

I said I wasn't going to go, now  I have dried out I want to go and have to go through all the ticket business again 

 

such is life, what will be will be

A barren desolate wasteland filled with nothing but despair...

Sounds an awful lot like the holding page to me.
