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?

you pick the date and play the refresh game then.

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.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
