Read a few pages, come out in a hot sweat and shut the page down.

Just noticed I posted that around 8.45am there was 222 people in that thread.

I absolutely cannot wait for Sunday!

Even trying for a guy at work during the Thursday coach sales just to get that t-day feeling.

If I log into my remote desktop connection and go onto the internet there its a different IP address.... Why is that even though it's on the same device?

Am I best to use say chrome on my remote connection and edge on my normal desk top?

[Hotchilidog]

That thread is incredible. I was trying for six friends and came up short, I already had my coach ticket booked by that stage, ended up leaving them behind as they were insistent on the Sunday sale

This year we are all in on Thursday though

Just read through several pages, probably shouldn't have

One thing noted.. who would like to explain to someone who isn't tech savvy (yours truly) how to 'host hack', should that happen again?

This explains it pretty well.

Is auto fill worth doing on my desktop? Ie downloading an auto fill add on and using that?

Go there. Refresh like a demon. The holding page will appear.

That thread is visceral reading at this time of year. It also makes my eye twitch when I read posts casually saying things like “anyone having any luck? I’m not” and “nothing so far for me!”

Eugh.... why did I read this. Totally bobbing myself. Last year was so easy but after 3 previous years of failure and reading this it clearly is just luck of the draw.

The remote desktop connection links you to the device as if you were sat at it and any onward connection to the Internet will be from that device and it's own IP so different to the IP on your home device.....even though you are using it connect to the other one.

I still think it's a bit quiet around here though! Definitely remember more panicked threads before.

At this stage, I will take any snippet of optimism that makes me feel that getting a ticket won't be impossible, so let's go with this

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Make sure you wear your lucky pants and under NO circumstances wash them. Ever.

If you are spending time posting stuff like "no luck so far" etc. then you are missing valuable F5 time!    I even worry about breathing once the ticket sale is on let alone messing about with posting/texting etc.

Brutal :'-( Despite all the techie hacks, when it comes down to it, it's just a lottery isn't it?

That's what i've convinced myself.

But we're all culpable of convincing ourselves things in order to make us feel better!

This is why if you've been successful doing it a certain way previously you'll do the same again and if you've been unsuccessful you'll convince yourself there are things you could have done better.

It's just our minds way of dealing with things.

I'm not gonna lie, I find it a little bit disturbing how much you seem to be getting off on the T-Day stress  I love the spreadsheet organisation beforehand, but for the actual 30 mins-1 hour of refreshing (and probably for at least half an hour before) I just feel like vomiting. I'm praying for someone to score tickets in the opening five minutes so I can chill the fuck out!

[Dukey]

What info do I need for mates I'm getting tickets for? Reg number, postcode, name, anything else? Thanks in advance.

Yeah I think you can only enjoy it as much as Joey T seems to if you've never experienced failure...

It disturbs me that it no longer counts down from 20 to zero and that when I refresh, although my URL bar changes, the actual page doesn't so much as flicker

HOW AM I GOING TO KNOW IF IT CRASHES??

just reg and post code. you don't enter the name. you'll need to match the name to the reg number to get your monies though.

[kalifire]

And make sure the first reg number you input is the person paying.

Would imagine it will count down when it's live.

Just done a couple of hopeful F5's just thinking there's a some chance it'll stick me on the ticket page 5 days early.
