tarff26 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Not even a sniff. I got the grey holding page for about 50% of the time via WiFi but very rarely through 4G. Congratulations to everyone that managed to get through and secure tickets. I miss the old days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue6field Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Got on the holding page for the first 5 mins or so, timed out and never got back on until it came up saying sold out ah well ce la vie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny-yen Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 First time ever, didn't even get past the holding page. Every year it gets harder and harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweedeP Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Got through, entered credit card details and everything then nothing happened and got kicked out. Incredible its possible to get kicked out after you have sent out your details in cyber space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoo Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 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.

bombfrog Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 You would think, wouldn't you, that the whole point of having a queuing system is so that the servers running the payment pages can take the weight of traffic they let through the queue. It seems they can't even ensure that. I got a ticket luckily but 9 people in our group didn't, first time since 2004 :( What, realistically, are our chances in the resale?

CircuitWizard Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 We had 14 people trying with multiple laptops, desktops, tablets, internet connections etc and the majority of us didn't even see a holding page. The ones that got to enter reg details got binned on submission. The whole system is ridiculous. If you get to add reg details you should be guaranteed a connection to the See server. Gutted is an understatement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropBeat Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 6 trying, multiple IPs. Not a sniff. Only a couple of us reached the holding page but no further. First fail in 4 tries. Gutted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping you've got a back up plan and that you try with us great unwashed because you're down with us common folk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Just now, Deaf Nobby Burton said: First time I’m four years I didn’t get a booking page. Had three of us and a shit ton of laptops and different connections. Across all of them I got an ultra responsive holding page on a laptop of EE 4G, the rest were just white screens. Refreshed the only responsive one I had diligently until it said sold out and nothing. Similar here. One laptop on wi-fi kept crashing and the other connected to my phone's 4G never crashed once. Still no luck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moremi Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Failed for first time in 11 years. Had holding page on 4g and home wifi but that's where it stopped. Pages refreshed quickly but did not find that gap into the servers for the next stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdm22 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 According to the spreadsheet, 28 out of 58 managed to get tickets, which means a max of 5 actually got through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field of Avalon Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Daughters friend at Uni got through at 9.10 entered card details and then crashed. Opened up the bottle of cider a bit premature. Bring on the resale not beaten yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splonk Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Got all the way through and then the box to confirm booking ages was disabled for 4 minutes of the 6 minutes holding time. When it finally let me click it I was then timed out. Piss poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
