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.

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

We got tickets well before 9am one year.. was back in bed by 9am!  But yeah, that was some years ago now

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!

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!

Yeah I got our entire groups that year because of that (and this forum!)

    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
