Being kicked out - avoidable or not??

Particularly irritating that that 'Your tickets are being held' 6 minute timer should come up, putting the onus on you to get moving, only for them to drop your session. The worst stories I've seen are those people whose registrations were blocked - for the entire sale - after a failed attempt to purchase.

See always get a kicking on here after the main sale but this time it does seem more deserved than usual.

So worth having multiple registrations then....

Yes, good point. And GFL have recently, slightly oddly, made clear that it's fine to have multiple registrations (although it'd be hard for them to stop it in any case).

The lower the number of people are allowed on the booking page at once surely increases your chances of getting onto the booking page? For example, if it let 150000 on at once the only people to get through would be the people that hit F5 at exactly the right point, meaning you would get 1 chance only. If it let on 75000 you'd get 2 chances, assuming that everyone completes their transaction in a similar amount of time, and so on. I think the way it works now is the fairest way to do it.
