Dancers Stand Very Still Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 I guess this is as good a place to vent as any! That's the 45th sale (coach, resales etc) that I've followed advice for down to the letter over the years and never got close to getting a ticket. Yet, some people get them every year.

The sooner they explore the option of a different way to sell the tickets the better. I literally have no clue how ANYONE got on the booking page Yeah, I’m gutted. Not sure a better way is needed though. They sold all the tickets in the usual time without the site falling over. It’s just that we didn’t get any.

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Fucking hell, can the other music festivals sort their act out and become as good as Glastonbury, instead of everyone wanting to go to one festival...!

ScarletBlaster Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Took 4 minutes last year with four devices in one house, 10 or so devices in three houses this year and nothing! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom White Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 2 out of 3 of our groups of 6 got tickets, not mine though. Bit sad. Will sit here and keep refreshing until resale day :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancers Stand Very Still Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 I was on the holding page from 9:00:20 until sell-out (which seems like further than many got), but never moved from it. Not really sure what else I'm supposed to have done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably part of the problem in fairness. We were 8 people trying, but with the help of 14 people, each likely with at least 2-4 devices... I'm not critiscising, but that's 30+ devices, multiple tabs open as well likely... dang it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efcfanwirral Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Remember that come resale time a lot of people won't want to spend that amount of money, or see the bands that have been announced etc. We'll get another shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeble Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 The only way that it’s ever going to be easier to buy tickets is if the festivals popularity massively drops and demand vaguely matches availability. From their point of view a successful T day is all the tickets selling without the site crashing, which they manage every year. They are not going to change anything. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamium Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Site crashed as i was entering payment details at 9.18, on a refresh and entering them again it said my payment had already processed and then conf email came through shortly after. if you got as far as entering payment details and then crashed, check your emails, you never know. did also try for others on here once i got reg page open again but never got a 2nd chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby_gillespie Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 The current setup probably is the 'fairest' way but would love to see them acknowledge the efforts of people who are willing to go the extra mile to get tickets and not just login on a Sunday morning. I say put 10,000 tickets on sale in independent record stores across the country, on sale same day and time. Wouldn't work for everyone but gives you a better effort to success ratio if you're willing to queue up/camp out for a couple of days (and maybe stimulate more support for the outlets too) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipine Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 We had the same on thursday... and another member of our group had our details in a reg form today so I've been there nearly 3 times and failed each time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Steve Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 It was all about the Mac this for me...

Ozanne Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 I got through to the reg page, then got through to the payment page! It said tickets were being held for 4 or so minutes. I put my payment details then click buy for the the page to just hang and hang. Nothing happened at all! Then after several tries of that it comes back to the payment page saying that the allotted time has run out and the tickets are allocated elsewhere. I then try again on the reg page to get through to the payment page with no luck and it then says sold out. Half way through typing this message on here I get an email from SeeTickets with my deposit confirmation!! Looks like I'm going to Glastonbury 2020 bois! Unbelievable it worked through that way, I'm stunned! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desthedanglybits Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 It's gutting when you don't get a ticket. Am trying so hard to not whinge or be negative. Well done to those that were successful. Like some others on here, just found out that one of our group got through to the Registration details, had them confirmed then the page crashed. It's just brutal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
