fat_man_joe Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 This has no doubt been answered, I'm sorry. It's just very hard to navigate these forums. Why do they recommend "Please note: we advise attempting to book on a single browser tab on a single device."? Is this to save their servers? Or will it actually benefit you personally?

I think the theory is that if you've got multiple tabs open on the same browser, the servers see it as hits from a single IP address, so if you're refreshing loads of tabs on a single browser at the same time you'll get locked out as I think it's a 60 refreshes per minute limit. Someone with more knowledge will correct me if I'm wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj6658 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Question of coach tickets: Is there a set amount for each place (i.e 2000 for bristol, 2000 for london e.c.T) and it be the case yo make it onto the booking screen and your location is sold out so you have to find a different one?

I'm doing it at work and having just done a test found it's 75mb I'm not sure how much difference the line speed makes. In 2013 I asked a client if they minded me using their fibre for my Glastonbury ticket attempted. At the time it was a 200mb/s fibre leased line, symmetric, uncontended and very low latency, which would have been a fair bit faster than the ADSL I would have otherwise been using. No-one else was in the building so I had the entire bandwidth to myself (I checked, no updates running etc) . I took in 2 laptops, gave them 2 real world IP addresses (spares from the clients allocated block) bypassing most of the buildings infrastructure etc and then sat in the computer room F5ing and got absolutely nowhere, apart from the holding page from time to time. 2015 on holiday in the Lakes district, I got 2 tickets in the resale on an ipad using a slowish (it was slow for everything not just seetickets) ADSL link. And I typed in everything by hand on the ipad virtual keyboard which took some time to do. Provided its stable broadband connection, its got to be down to being lucky enough to get an available connection from the seetickets server at the right time. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesiesta Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 32 minutes ago, crazyfool1 said: nope its just luck ... refresh no more than 60x per min ... good luck Yes, my luck never betrayed me, I hope this time it will work too. Also, I really hope that their website will have some filters for different countries, since I doubt that many people from my country will try to get the ticket. Maybe I can get some advantage from that as well, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set it to 2-4 seconds per refresh and you should be fine mate, Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El24 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi all, Me and a friend at work just checked our IP addresses using whatsmyip. We had the same Public IPv4 but IPv6 was not detected. I'm not techie at all and have zero idea what this means - does it mean everyone at my work will be on the same IP address so we'd be screwed all trying to refresh at the same time? Any help for this idiot would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's said that if See detect anything quicker than 1 refresh per second they will block the access. So make it 1.1 seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help for this idiot would be much appreciated! Your company will have at least 1 single public IP attached to it's router on the internet, this public IP is the one that see tickets receive the request from, so yes if you've 10 people trying from your office see tickets will see the packet request from the 1 IP but multiple requests. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, all depends on the front end firewalls at see tickets which we have absolutely no control over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hen123 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hello all! Am not great with all the techie stuff so was wondering if someone could give me a simple answer to this! If me and all three of my flatmates are all trying for tickets on Sunday on our flat WiFi, are we best to just try on one device or should we all try on our laptops? I.e will it damage our chances to all be trying separately whilst connected to the same WiFi? Thanks in advance ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
