Tickets , Tips and Tricks

[Dancers Stand Very Still]

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.

total dogshit that. No chance at all - got holding page twice then just crashed again.

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.

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...! FUUUUUUUUUCK

Took 4 minutes last year with four devices in one house, 10 or so devices in three houses this year and nothing! ?

[Tom White]

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

 

:(

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!

we had the payment page up just as it sold out...  gutted

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...

Honestly, wtf? I entered all my card details, click on buy tickets and site crashed!

I got to the 'check all info is correct' part and clicked confirm for it to come back 'site has crashed.' Duno if I got my tickets or not 

[efcfanwirral]

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

Same, how shit a feeling is that?!

[Smeble]

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.

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

snap, and it's the hope that kills you

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)

[Pipine]

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!

[The Other Steve]

It was all about the Mac this for me...  Windows devices got nowhere but Mac got through to holding page straight away and one of my auto refreshes got through

And if you live in a rural area? If you can't camp out because you need to work?

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!

[Acid Loafers]

Never even saw the page until 9:25. The system doesn't work.

Yes it does - you were just unlucky. 

[Desthedanglybits]

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

Exactly same experience but no email...  Payment got stuck and after a time hanging my tab just decided to close. :(

[Stone_Love]

I got through to the payment screen and it bombed me out. Gutted
