My best tips for ticket day....

[Sasperella]

Six of us trying from sheffield - we got nothing. My friend got to the payment page when only thursday was left, but sold out by the time she entered reg details

My friend in London got two for Thursday about 15 mins in....

Wonder if the end of the url corresponds to a specific web server...

I'm guessing it's the difference between weds and thurs

[sisco]

Yessss.  Horrific times, and it’s a Thursday, but still.... yessss

[Thunderstruck]

Can't believe it. Got the message it was sold out for Wednesday then some how got in a few minutes later for 2 Manchester tickets!!!! Over the moon!

I was trying there - the tech seemed a lot better than in previous years, which bodes a bit better for Sunday in terms of stability.

Tried for a mate - the laptop had the holding page and then went down

We entered 4 registrations but when selecting the time of the coach it would bring us back to the time selection with only the lead booker details, but only let us select 0 or 4 tickets. Then it would say you cant buy tickets for more than the number of registrants. Then go back to showing all 4 and just do the same over and over.

 

Anyone else get this?

Yep. Something along those lines. Pretty much.

I did not miss the ticket sales last year. Painful experience.

So I was buying tickets for my friends. I got through, when I clicked on Buy Tickets it froze for a minute. Then it unfroze.. I clicked on Buy again and it said "Your payment has been processed", but the clock kept running and in the end it said "Sorry time has run out and you lost your place"   so what the hell happened? 

update: they got email confirmation. Chuffed for them!

People who get through, seem to get through multiple times

[Gary]

tech definitely better thanusual. unsuccessful attempts from myself in Nottingham, my partner in London and my pal in Liverpool but a lass with my mrs at work did actually get through... and only bought 2... Lol.

[ExtendedVacation]

First time trying for a solo ticket, didn't even move past refreshing

Sunday it is 

[Skoo]

Well that was bloody awful. Saw the Weds/Thurs selection, then holding page non stop. Not feeling great about Sunday.

[maelzoid]

To everyone who got lucky today - Congrats! I'm genuinely happy for you.

To everyone else - See you on Sunday.

[kalifire]

Not even a sniff. Holding page all the way. I hate letting others down.

Now totally bricking it about my own tickets on Sunday.

My boyfriend got in for thursday I think and it timed out. arse

Id be less annoyed if I didnt even get in,

getting to the coach selection screen then being cockblocked by what looked like a website bug is infuriating.

This was just on the holding page - Wednesday sold out. But we kept going incase of abandoned baskets, declined cards etc. Seems to have worked.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Not a fucking sniff, despite seeing the pink ‘choose Wednesday or Thursday’ screen twice. Completely devastated, never been successful in the Sunday sale, but even more determined this time now.

[panasonic2011]

Did people batter f5 or just every couple of seconds

 

[Gabi_says]

Well, that was ... frustrating, nerve wracking and unsuccessful!

So, errr ... shall we do it all over again on Sunday?

Yeah they always do. The system has always favoured big groups!

[MetaKate]

I feel alive. Really good warm up for Sunday. I've got finger muscles I haven't used since Oct 2016 that are now back in shape. 

[themuel]

I really thought the lack of hype around it might make it easier this year.....  I couldn't have been more wrong.

very much this  . Much more pessimistic about Sunday now but delighted for anyone who got tix . 

 

[Andeeroo]

Weird thing happened to me. I, without shadow of a doubt, selected Wednesday tickets. I eventually got through on my phone and 4G all the way to the payment page, had one final check of my details and realised it said Thursday departure.

Backed out of it and a few seconds later, the 'Wednesday tickets sold out' tweet came up. Not sure if I was redirected as soon as the Wednesday tickets sold out?

Hope I don't regret backing out come Sunday.
