D-Low Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Seeing a few people had problems with the tick boxes out of place and not letting them tick the box. Anyone have the same? Doesn't fill me with confidence for no technicals on Sunday Imagine getting through and not being able to tick a box because of an error on the page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiepaul Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 We got Bristol 7:30am on Thursday. Ideally would have got Wednesday, but delighted to get any ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I was trying for Bristol, but it just kept saying 0 available for most of the times, and any that said 6 available just wouldn't go through. Absolute pisstake! (I think? Maybe that's how it always is?) Just seems bizarre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogeggs Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 We were lucky enough to get 2 Wednesday Bristol tickets...the super-early ones had all gone - but I’ll happily take a pair of 10:30am tickets! :D It never stops feeling like a small miracle when that booking form appears. If anyone wants a hand in the Sunday scrum, give me a shout...I’m happy to try! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarff26 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 If someone were to start trying at 9am on sunday and hit refresh every few second, would they be further forward in any ‘queue’ than someone else firing up their laptop at 9:30 and trying from then?

There is no "queue" as such, but tickets have sold out in 30mins before so you risk missing them all if you turn up late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s just down to whether or not you refresh right at that magic moment...no skill, no strategy...just pure luck of the draw.

The last box of t&c wouldn’t click.... we had to minimise the screen in the end. We spent 5 mins just trying to click that bloody thing!!!!

Possum123 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 No luck for the 12 of us today... a few sniffs of the booking page but all seemed to get caught with an unresponsive page after putting in reg details. Oh well - bring on Sunday. Best of luck to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and to Simsy too. 9:30 was an arbitrary ‘later’ time but I take your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to go back 3 times to re-enter the details.... then after putting card details in the t&c box wouldn’t physically tick!!! Luckily at 6:15 it did.... keep looking at email confirmation. Feel in a dream world ? ps.... don’t forget that coaches are in such high demand. 15000 compared to 120000 is a massive difference. everyone trying just in case.... only reason we tried is to free up more people to try for others come Sunday. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 It's so much scarier now, as today was the "buffer"; it's last chance saloon on Sunday. Hold me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweedeP Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 6 tickets from London wednesday. Aiming for 15 more Sunday. Absolutely blessed! Is 30 minutes standard for coaches to sell out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam1981 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 For those who were successful, can we get a little poll going of how you succeeded to see if there's a pattern? e.g. Laptop on WiFi, from work, vpn to work, phone on 4g, etc... Or is it just totally random as I suspect. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam1981 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) And for those using VPN, if you're doing it to your corporate network where they've got a big fat pipe with low latency (and you're using the browser on a machine at work or in a Data Centre) then I get how that can be an advantage... But if you're using a VPN to obscure your IP, or to appear to come from another region, then what's the benefit - other than having one more IP? Surely by using your local browser on your laptop and going via another country only adds more hops and therefore latency? Just trying to understand the best tactics for Sunday...
