Not a sniff as usual. 2011 last year I got tickets in October without any backdoor server shenanigans. First year I’m debating whether to try in the resale or festival abroad. Or even just a holiday.

Ditto! Might put that saved money to good use somewhere else.

Great perseverance. There goes my afternoon, like.

It's just pure luck. Me and a friend always go and we had just us trying. We both got through (separately, about 10 miles apart) at the same time.

My local newspaper was running a 'how to get Glastonbury tickets' article last week - with all the usual advice about teaming up in groups of 6 and using multiple ISPs etc.  Considering this is an in-bred rag which is usually running stories about tombolas at the church fete, I think this means the cat is definitely out of the bag - hardcore ticket-day tactics are no longer the preserve of efestivals users.

What this probably means is that (1) there will be a far greater number of computers trying to get through to the Seetickets site and (2) a much higher percentage of those will be trying to get the full 6 tickets.  So you're less likely to get through and they'll sell out quicker.

Surprised to hear that many didn't even get the holding page. I had a few instances of not being able to connect at all, but was pretty much consistently getting the holding page. We managed to get through twice on different machines - one tethered to 4G and one on a VPN.

Really sorry for those of you who didn't get a sniff. 

Yeah, it's odd that that happens- last year I failed to get onto the holding page, this year I got onto it pretty much every time- never quite fathomed whats going on with that.

I got my tickets, first time ever in the normal sale. Got them on my android phone one O2, work laptop and work iPhone couldn't even load the page. Gutted for everyone who missed out. There is always hope though, I've got tickets in resale 4 years in a row!

[JGP]

I've just had my confirmation email too!

[davefb]

10 groups. 6 got tickets.

Personally, just a few tabs up in chrome/edge. got to ticket details page twice(edge!), but it failed to get to payment page .. Luckily friend managed to , on hotel wifi..

Some of our group hardly even got the holding page.....

(impressed that efestivals got in on the act by crashing as well )

Group of 21 people and nothing!

 

Oh well

 

The outrage on twitter is obviously amazing

[little_jim]

First time fail..! Big group with multiple devices. Will be back in April to try again I guess..! Im broken but not as bad as I thought id be.

[oneeye]

Not a sniff this year. We'll done to all you lucky buggers currently floating on cloud 9; resale it is then......

Not sure if I will try again in April as may have other Summer plans arranged by then.

Same here. Adult life is very different to having nothing else going on in June as a teenager 

[DareToDibble]

First time fail here too!

2 groups of 6. 1 got through then tried for us, no luck. Barely got the holding screen let alone anything else.

Devastated. Resale will be carnage and if I remember correctly it’s only 4 tickets at a time too? 

[Guy Incognito]

our group of 16 all failed, first one in 4 years we have missed out on.

I'm trying to be selfless and think that my tickets have gone to people who haven't been before and get to see the magic for the first time but fuck 'em, i'm gutted. 

See you all in the resale!

[42hamlet]

We had 2 groups trying. Group 1 got them in about 15 minutes, group 2 missed out. 

Feels incredibly bittersweet to have a ticket but see so many of your friends miss out

[Dronx]

Any chance of anymore going on sale today? Cancelled duplicates etc. Clutching at straws

the email has just been sent for my backup plan, but I'm certainly not expecting that to come good. It might, but it might not - I've been turned down before.

Fingers crossed  

 

[Henrik]

My losing streak continues. 5 attempts now, 5 fails.

None of our group got close.

Gutted. 

[parsonjack]

Not a sniff here and totally totally gutted.

For what it's worth I have been testing access to Seetickets for a while (you didn't know?) and until the sale started there were 11 x IP addresses other than the 4 advertised through DNS that would service requests.

I had details all ready to post on here of which one(s) you could use in Host files to get in and once I had tested it myself would have made those public for you guys to hoover them up.  I haven't posted them previously as I'm certain that See would read these threads and close them off.

See are obvs aware to this though....and from start of sale they all simply redirected to the holding page.  I also tried on a 4G IP address that I haven't used before to be certain they hadn't blocked me from noticing all the activity over past few weeks.

Sorry peeps ?

[Dog Burger]

Our six got in, but it was tough. 27 of us trying in various groups, and got through once in both sales. Thankfully once was enough for the core six! Unbeaten record in tact.

Got tickets, but 2 out of our 4 groups missed out. Delighted obviously, but it feels strange to have so many people miss out.

Anyone know roughly how many tickets usually go back up for the resale?

 

 

If I remember correctly Emily has said in the past it's about 10%, so probably about 12,000-14,000.

No harm in trying but as a general rule that'll be it until April, now.

[Kashkin]

My friend got in very early in the process, got as far as submitting payment but then the page crashed and they never saw a confirmation page. But then someone else got through (more than 10 minutes later) and tried the same registrations and couldn't use them...so maybe that means the first transaction did go through? But no transaction is showing on his account yet, and no email yet. 

[naivetyplay]

Got through to the page where you add registrations on my phone (4G), but then when I pressed proceed it put me back to the holding page. Grim.

Shout out to my fellow 'serial nowhere near a ticket' ers. ?
