mufcok Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Someone posted a very handy keyboard shortcut add on for Chrome in here a few days back. Does anyone know if something similar exists for Microsoft Edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 IF YOU'RE USING SHORTCUTS FOR MORE THAN 9 PEOPLE: Make sure to change up the shortcut after the ninth person: #REG8, #REG9, #REGG10 Don't get caught out by entering your shortcut for the first person rather than the tenth, as it'll detect #REG1 before #REG10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just refresh, then see what page is loaded and if it's not booking page, refresh again until you finally get that glorious page? That's what I mean - no one really knows. I refresh and wait to see what page is loaded - but you apparently need to be careful not to go over 1 refresh a second. Or maybe you don't. No one knows. It's also hard to keep track of how quickly your pressing it in the head of the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as we can tell they both look the same (or indeed *are* the same page), and they look like this (although they might appear without the Glastonbury graphic above the text): https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/content/busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.B. Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I have a question for those refreshing super fast. If I'm on a normal website and click a link it can take several seconds before the new link opens. Clicking refresh once a second would seem like the booking page would never get a chance to load? Should I be giving it a chance to load, or just be hammering away!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme2 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I actually saved the webpage for offline viewing during the sale to practise for Sunday and this was the page I just mentioned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we figured out they must have dropped the graphics from the page at about 6:10pm to speed up the process, so to speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's the Headless Holding monster that turned up about 10 mins into the sale It's mildly interesting though that the full page including the header graphic is still there on: https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/content/busy , which *sort of* suggests they're not in fact the same page Wonder if we can conclude anything from that... maybe this is just a static one, and the other is served up on demand in the heat of the ticket sales?

Personally, it doesn't make sense to me to refresh really fast....I want to be sure the page that's loading isn't a booking page! Other people may disagree. EDIT: I should probably add though....in four years now of trying, and 7 different sales, I have only ever got the payment page once. So I may very well be not the best person to take advice from.

adamski Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Just done an experiment. Went to https://glastonbury.seetickets.com and hit f5 really fast loads of times, and it went to a holding page.... Leave it for 20 seconds and it refreshes to the correct page. BUT if you then hit F5 straight away you get blocked again if that F5 takes you over the 60 refreshes in the past 60 seconds (I am assuming this last bit). Check it out yourselves. Not going to help me get tickets on Sunday, but good to have a bit of insight., and might answer some questions (or raise others). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
