northernringo Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) One of my group got through and no matter which of the 5 of us he put in the second box he got an error for that box only saying - 'address doesn't match registration'. Any idea what this could mean? All based in Northern Ireland Edited October 3, 2019 by northernringo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy92 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Mix up of postcode and reg number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernringo Posted October 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hmm the guy who got through is usually pretty sensible with this sort of thing but I guess it could be. Was hoping someone else got the same error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy92 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I did at first and realised I’d miss spelt one postcode (mild panic ensues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibear Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Not quite the same problem, but I got to the coach booking page (trying for friends), when I hit "buy tickets" the page would reload with only the lead booker's details showing. An error message would then appear saying the number of coach tickets must match the reg numbers - it thought I was buying 4 coach seats for one person! So annoyed...

This happened to me...and when I refreshed everyone reg came up and it didn’t let me process and then would go back to just lead bookers reg.. this went on for 10 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 however much prep you do ... the nerves still get you and its easy to mess up ... like me nearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernringo Posted October 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Ok so I found the cause of the problem... Despite me making a spreadsheet, sending it round and asking everyone to double check and confirm... One of our 5 put Co Down as their post code instead of the post code they told me they used and have only just realised. Incredibly frustrating. So a follow up question - Do you think it will work on Sunday if we do all our details as expected but enter Co Down as his postcode? Or does the post code have to be a valid post code?

Uncle Traveling Matt Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 no Co Down will work. My post code is DUBLIN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put Co. Down as his post code so the full stop in the middle could maybe cause an issue - we'll see on Sunday (hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all about the good Karma. I got through and went straight back for another group sadly not successfully. I asked my group for details again this morning and to re-check 1h before. They would have 100% been culled if they didn't bother to recheck. I did mine again just before 6. Still post the details here. If my friends get them I'll be here to help others too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co Down will work. I have mates who have "Ireland" "Dublin" and "IE" as their postcodes - as long as it's the exact match of what you put in the post code field when you registered then that's what works.

wetwipes Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 @northernringo You have GOT to get your mate to check exactly what they put in their registration. Your mate can do that with https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/registration/lookup You find the registration lookup under the general ticket info. Your mate puts in their email address, and they should get back an email with the registration number and postcode that matches that registration. Mate then passes that to all your group to enter into your spread sheets , and if you get lucky on Sunday THAT looked up post code, HOWEVER IT APPEARS on the looked up registration, is what you enter as their postcode. The postcode must match the registration number as far as the computer is concerned- it's as simple as that. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I had asked him to do this already (before yesterday's sale) but he clearly lied when he told me he did... frustrating! He has now sent me his registration confimration email which lists his postcode as 'Co. Down'. Hoping the full stop won't be an issue.

UEF Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 This is why I miss the older registration site that let you check peoples codes+postcodes were valid yourself (i.e. without receiving an email to a mailbox you can't see) I used it. A lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down in as his postcode or it will fail again. The computer needs to see an EXACT match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
