Cooter Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm doing it most days to be honest, think I'm starting to lose the plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the 2016 sale (I think it was this one - was that the one that sold out in seconds?), I wouldn't leave my computer to go the toilet even, unless my wife could keep an eye on it, "just in case". For pretty much two weeks. That was a painful time, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go to the toilet during the two weeks, and yes, I was lucky with the resale. I used the tracker system that Neil on here setup (https://www.checkpage.co.uk). I put my phone on "volume on", set the ticket page up on a second monitor I put on my laptop so it was there full time (https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/event/glastonbury-2019/worthy-farm/1300001) and for every single "beep" on the phone for almost two weeks, I would automatically turn to the right and press refresh. Every single email (& I get many for work), text and so on, I would check the webpage first before looking at the phone. It did pay off though, as I didn't even read the notification message of the change to the website when it happened, just the usual "turn right, press refresh" after the beep. My hands were shaking so much after all that time, I was worried I'd let it timeout because I was double checking. It helped having the page preloaded with the registrations, and being terribly obsessive. I'm trying this time around for others, and I have the page on a spare screen (moved on to multiple screens now for work!), but I can't spare the time I did back then. It really was time in front of the machine from around 0830 all the way to 1800-1900 every day, eating at the machine, going mad! I didn't keep too close an eye on weekends, but still didn't want to go too far! That's one ticket sale I won't be forgetting for a looong time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I doubt very much they'd let out any info of if and/or when a secret sale is going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’ll be one I’d reckon it would be today, going by 2016. Please note this is based purely guess work and will most likely be wrong!

So you just keep that filled in and open all day? do you need to fill in the details everyday? (soz for dumb IT question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thea! Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 @EasyUserName you described almost line by line my set up this year. 2016 I was lucky with several monitors set up and the perk of working for myself was able to stare aimlessly ..
