Hey, we are buying tickets but I'm not 100% if I'm going (live in Australia and have a lot on next year). If I'm lead booker and I don't pay my deposit my friends can still go right? Have been to plenty of Glastos before but never been unsure if I'll go or not!

Yeah, you'll be fine.

Has anyone managed to get tickets before 9am in the past? I'm told its possible

Is https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/content/extras the right link? Or should it be one with 8000001 or a similar number in it? 

I don’t think anyone knows the correct url for sure yet. And going directly to it may even be a hinderance.

just head for Glastonbury.seetickets.com initially at least

I got them once at 08:50 but that was many years ago, possibly 2009/10

Think it was 2008- they put them on sale about 40 mins early for a while- I remember as it was the only year I didn't paranoidily check the tickets link that early!

Anyone else remember for 2013/14 tickets, there was something you could do with your hosts file that skipped the queue? Is that dead now?

2011 they royally fucked up - they had two servers and put only one on the DNS entry.  For 90 odd minutes one of those servers was only accessible by doing a host file edit.  I got over 100 peoples tickets that year as the server was sat barely being used and you'd get on every refresh.  Didn't buy a drop of alcohol that year!

Yup dead and buried.

Check if your wifi is working properly. If it isn't and you know your neighbors use a different internet provider, go ask them for their password.

In 2014, I think I got about 40 people's tickets because of the hosts trick. Gutted it's gone now, it used to feel like a little reward for being in the right places!

It's the final countdown, as the song goes.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Fuck, I'm nervous

[DareToDibble]

Good luck everyone. See you back in here after sellout about 9:30 when we'll all have bagged tickets.

[tumbles]

I think there is time for another brew, right?
