I can’t recall what the advice was on how frequently you can safety do F5 without the risk of being locked out for a while?

You can check by going to https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/content/extras and hammering refresh for a minute it'll take you to the holding page if you go over the refresh rate.

Doesn’t seem that long ago we did all this.

I always take my laptop right next to my router but I've no idea if it makes a difference!

If you open different browsers e.g. chrome, edge, opera and mozilla does the maximum number of refreshes allowed in a minute add all these together so if you refresh each one every second it counts as four refreshes per second?

Is this you ?

It's a rolling thing so if you do creep over the impact is temporary.

Thank you

Paul the Octopus despite being able to predict the future when it came to football results never managed to successfully get Glastonbury tickets.

Ha ha!  4 different browsers minimised so they each take up a quarter of the screen and placed to fill the whole screen - easy to click on each one in turn.  And at least one on autorefresh.

The top tip is being awake and ready to go at 9am. Everything else is just luck. Everything.

For me as I'm going for coach tickets, it's managing to make the 7 minute journey home from work in time for 6 pm.  I finish at 5 but I always worry!

Every year this thread is the biggest circle jerk on eFests

Thanks - I will register the ticket to my usual UK address, just wondered if I will have the same pain of See Tickets crashing, or it tends to be a bit smoother

And it helps with the pre-ticket day nerves to air things on here.

Okay maybe circle jerk was a bit harsh maybe consipricacy theorising is a better phrase.

Observe exhibit A...

Person 1) I think (delete as appropriate: multiple tabs/multiple browsers/proxies/ etc./technical shizzle whizz) will improve chances of getting a ticket

person 2) I disagree with person 1 

Ultimately leading to no conclusion on the ‘best’ way to get a ticket.

I've booked the day off, but having to travel with Northern Rail that's for the best.

quite possible I would agree ... but so far it might have stopped someone refreshing too much and is potentially what new users of the forum will be looking for / possibly interested in ... and the forum needs new members to keep it alive

It can't be a circlejerk if people are disagreeing with one another, ya dum-dum.

So say for instance my PC locks out, would immediately thethering my 4G phone keep it working?

Yes, but your sin bin would be over by the time you've done that.

Just jumping in to say that I' ve  just looked up the definition of a circle jerk, as I'd never heard it used before. My problem is that I can see how it could be used for both sides of the discussion above, and both be right. So, I am none the wiser as to the true definition. This is not aided by the fact that I don't understand much of the technical stuff being talked about. I like the thread though. I, for unknown reasons to me, seem to like being told and told again (by reading each technical posts) that I simply am lacking heavily in this area. I guess reading each one is like a drum stick beating on my head saying 'pull your socks up' within this field.
