Cheddar Valley Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Been going for many years but this yead didn't get onto booking page I had to rely on somebody else. What do we all feel about ticket day?? Many years I battered f5 then after looking on this website many tech people saying see had now put in place a system where if you refreshed too quickly you would be put back to holding page. Is this true?? People who got tickets how did it work for you?? Already panicking about October and wanna be clear in my mind what I should do on the day Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyfairy! Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 i literally refresh probably once a second , just keep it steady , ,any quicker and I don;t think it has time to reload plus I would probably skip past if a page did load, last year I got tickets but hadn;t seen a page for years before that so my method is certainly not tried and tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Sorry I can't help. This year I tried both coach and general and then both again in resale. Not a sniff of getting a buying page. Thankfully, someone else got my tickets this year. But yeah, already worried for T-day. When do we think it's likely to be? 6th? 13th? I am due to be on holiday around then!! I feel I will miss either the coach or the general sale. But maybe will be lucky from abroad? I have already identified an alternative festival to attend just in case I am unlucky.

Cheddar Valley Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I cant imagine going to a different festival. I think once youve been to Glasto everything else doesn't compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once youve been to Glasto everything else doesn't compare Oh I wouldn't expect it to be the same - it's a very small one so would be completely different. But different can be good too. For instance I love Bearded Theory in a completely different way to Glasto. And any festival is better than nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true?? Yes...true. Try it for yourself now...open www.glastonbury.seetickets.com and hit F5 more than 60 times within a minute...you should get the dreaded holding page...which won't disappear until your F5 rate falls below 60/minute. On ticket day you won't know whether the holding page you get is because it really is busy, or because you are thrashing the life out of your F5 key.

Had at least 45+ devices split between 18 of us in October, nothing. Got through once in April resale by an old phone with one bar of 3G. Just steadily F5 and hope for that glorious booking page.

Harry_W01 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 T-day was horrible for me (general and resale) I some how got the most amazing luck and got a coach resale ticket in London, and I spent 2 days there leading to the best weekend of my life!

Peter_Quaife Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 6 of us with a load of devices, WiFi, 4g, vpn etc, all in different locations geographically, not a sniff. Resale, had a lot more trying on the groups behalf. 2 of us got to put in the groups reg numbers and postcodes (between 9am and 9.10)..proceeded to be told 'no such event'. Got to do this solidly and got the same message for about 10 mins until it sold out. Thought we were going! If you get to the page to enter you details, it really should lock you in... Serious heartache! Ahhhhhhh Roll on October! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelts Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Stop giving me the fear! I figured I’ve got 2.5 months before I start to get really obsessed about T-day! I travelled through Bristol airport the other day in this years glasto T-shirt and got talking to two separate groups of people because of it and both of them gave me options for working next year if I don’t get tickets. So wear your T-shirts peeps, you never know what conversations it’ll start and where you’ll end up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Succeeded 14 times, however 12th one on the resale and 14th only through the generosity of others did I eventually get a ticket, so feel I’m on a slippery slope. Failure last October was a dreadful experience but determination does pay off, despite only one of our groups succeeding last October, everyone who persisted did eventually get to go (But that included 9 who worked and another 2 as their guests). October 6th likely to be the best day of the year, or the worst. I wish I could be more chilled about the outcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I’ve already had 4 dreams about ticket failure ? Last night I had entered my details and walked off only to find out that they had sold out, at least I go through to the page first attempt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipine Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Already nervous about it, I've not seen a booking page for years, always one of my friends that seems to have all the luck and gets my ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Am having genuine stress about it already. So many people have told me they want to go next year even though I've told them it was way too hot and it made the toilets smell loads. Why does sunny weather make it look so damn good on the telly?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penrhos Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 We're already planning for T-Day. 1) Checked all our reg numbers and pictures are OK. 2) Emailed said list of reg numbers to each other. 3) Made sure no-one is booking holidays away on estimated T-Day. 4) Warned our friends "That would never go to Glastonbury" that they will be needed on T-Day to press F5 and enter our numbers (and i'll supply card details if needed) 5) Making sure I'll have enough in the bank to cover 14 deposits. I'm bricking it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but it would have been even more damn good if it was a bit cloudy and 8 degrees cooler but it probably wouldn't have looked as good then.

Quark Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'll plan, get set up with devices, and F5 like hell. Either I get tickets or I don't. I'm 7 and 0 so far, bound to miss out sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 wow... credit to those who have ticket groups organised already ... ive still some decisions to make on this ... its me and one friend that im concerned about ..... others not so much ....

UEF Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm convinced some in our group don't try as hard as others, as it's the same few people who end up putting the order in each time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 I’ll be using the same ticket group I did this year and in 2017. I’ve been saved both years. I’m well overdue some luck in getting through myself. I intend for next year to be the last for a while, personally. I’ll be aiming to take my partner and if successful, tickets (to her first) will be part of her 40th birthday present so quite a lot riding on it. T-Day fills me with excitement and dread.
