Make sure all devices are up and running and no updates pending. Coffee and ciggies ready. (I've quit smoking but ye never know with the pressure) F5 rinse and repeat. Pray to whatever deity floats your boat. I actually normally find that getting absolutely trashed the night before going to bed somehow strangely works for me...how I've ended up with tickets some years is beyond me!

djcolsen Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Does anyone know if you get in on an Iphone or Ipad, can you double press the home button and leave the page to copy paste the details from note pad or is it best to stay on the page and type in manually?

The best thing to do on iPad or iPhone is create custom keyboard shortcuts which can be done in settings. i can type r1 on mine and it will populate with the reg number https://m.imore.com/how-use-text-shortcuts-iphone-and-ipad Edited September 3, 2018 by Alvarhanso 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasperella Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) My friend always says that sticking the page as your homepage for a few weeks in advance MAY help. I assume he got this advice from here back in the day. I've also been thinking of doing that, but I'm confused about whether the URL changes each time or not? I tried to follow some conversations about it, but my IT skills were shockingly not even up to that job Edited September 3, 2018 by Sasperella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You set a different short key for each reg number, right? Yep, you can set whatever you want as the shortcut. For example my Reg number is my initials, then I have ‘pc’ for the postcode and ‘cn’ for my card number etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago it had to be entered without the gap causing all sorts of issues and swearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been the successful one in the group with nobody else getting a sniff, I feel my luck may have run its course. I do always wonder what the success rate is of those that are genuinely trying (ie don't roll out of bed at 5 past the hour, refresh twice and give up).

Didn't try in the resale as everyone I know bought a ticket for awakenings in Amsterdam - I said we should have tried in the resale, but they didn't so I relented. We haven't missed out since. 7 out of 8 isn't a bad ratio... 8 out of 9 would be better! Edited September 3, 2018 by FuzzyDunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
