We have two people like that in our group. Always always always successful in ticket sales, sometimes without even really caring for what they are buying. Its unbelievable to me how they are so consistantly successful and here I am on a 5 and 0 record of faling. Im going to be like the Undertaker of failing at getting Glastonbury tickets.

How do they do it?? This will be the 5th refresh game for me too, and I've only got past the holding page once, and even then only after said friend already had bought all the tickets. I'm hoping the crew I've assembled to help in his place are luckier than me!

Can someone talk me through the process of getting a coach ticket? This will be my first time trying for one for someone else, do the destinations show up on the first page as well as a place to enter postcode and registration number?

 

I have no idea how it all works.

You pick a day (Wednesday or Thursday), then you pick a location, then it takes you to the holding page - where it is business as usual.

Oh interesting...I assumed it was holding page first and then picking day/location. This seems to make it more important to go for Thursday first....

Oh don't say that. Making me question myself at this traumatic time. I'm fairly sure I'm right though. Because I never know whether to go Wednesday or Thursday, or if I can have a tab open from both?

I think last year I had different days in different browsers but not different tabs if you see what I mean.  So I think I had four different browsers so had two Wednesday and two Thursday.  Maybe.

Haha sorry...looks like we're just spinning each other out!

So assuming you choose first, does that mean that the very first time you refresh the page you will be asked to decide date and then location, and then only after that do you play the refresh game?

I wish you could select more than one possible departure point e.g. Birmingham or Manchester or Liverpool - I live about equidistant from each!  

And it would be so nice if like other ticket sellers (I think Ticketmaster does), once a ticket was in your basket it was held for you for a few minutes to complete the payment.  It's worse to get a ticket briefly and not complete than never having a sniff.  

God I'm nervous!

DON'T have more than on tab open per browser type. You can have multiple browsers - so in a queue in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. But having more than one on, say, Firefox will cause issues.

Here come the butterflies.

This is like queing up for roller coaster for me. I know I shouldnt be worried but I can't stop myself.

There's an extended metaphor in there somewhere about roller coasters and getting a ticket and shit like that. But nows not the time to try and figure it out.

      I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over.

      Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.

      Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
