Apone Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) 1. Go through the Seetickets website link rather than the Glastonbury website link (coz everyone goes via that) 2. Have all your details on a Word Doc ready to cut and paste once you're into the ticket sale page (Debit card, cvv, registration number, postcode etc) 3. I've had best results purchasing as a solo as inputting multiple personal details takes time and you can lose your slot. Once your ticket is bagged then try for your buddies 4. Dont bother with multiple tabs, will slow down your processor 5. Be very careful with F5, one year I F5'd and refresehed out of the ticketsale page I'd just got into Good luck, not going this year so there's one more ticket to bag Edited September 18, 2018 by Apone 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very careful with F5, one year I F5'd and refresehed out of the ticketsale page I'd just got into In recent years seetickets have put a limit of 60 f5's per minute. Anymore and you'll be bumped to a holding page. I think this was discussed on another thread. I'm also pretty sure you now cant refresh off the ticket page; once your IP is through, you won't lose the page. If you're stuck on a white screen (not getting the holding page), clear your cache, Shift + ctrl + delete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Interesting Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Can you still use the back button once you have got tickets to get back to the booking screen again - and if so is it pressing it 2 or 3 times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always found that hard part actually getting to the order screen - never actually lost a slot here (although last year it did seem to hang during processing so had to refresh a few times). Don't think I'd have the balls to tell my mates I got to the magic screen but only bagged my own ticket.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing that would mean not having the same problem again as you would have no mates. I can't believe the other poster does this and is not on a wind up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) If entering 5 extra registrations is the difference between one person getting a ticket and nobody getting a ticket, then you’re not going to get the chance to go back in and book for your mates are you? If you get through after say 10 minutes it’s pretty safe to say you’ve got plenty of time to get your friends tickets as well. If you get through after about 30 minutes then if you decide to only get yours you’re basically going on your own. It would be an odd decision either way if you ask me.
