Chrisp1986 Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 After Thursday and last year, I just cannot imagine that I will ever get that screen to enter reg numbers. Is anyone else feeling the same? Need some huge positivity but can't see it anywhere!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyseven Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I'm hoping it won't be a failure but i'm prepared for it if it is. TBH for the past few years i've expected to not get tickets but have so i'm of the opinion all's to play for. I'll be looking to work it if I don't get a ticket, so i'll hopefully be there come what may! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I wouldn't say resigned, but I'm trying to keep in mind what not going next year would give me. More money, a different holiday or significant purchase, unexpected annual leave. Every cloud has a silver lining, but what a bloody cloud that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no reason why it couldn't be you, reading this, who gets tickets. The chance of success among those who're persistent is evenly spread.

Charm Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Surprisingly I’m feeling pretty great, my set up didn’t fail on Thursday which gave me a little boost, stay positive people as I’m sure it helps. Charm x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not succeeded in ticket sales since 2015. I’ve volunteered for 2016 and 2017 (which I’ve loved) but I’ve wanted to go back as a punter for nearly half a decade now. I know my story isn’t any different to plenty of others but I would love to be a punter again! thank you for the positive vibes though!

Crazyfool01 Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) someone has to .... The lyrics are quite a good fit in places Edited October 5, 2019 by crazyfool1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 130,000 tickets. Probably 400,000 trying. I know there are 2 million registrations, but my mate has 4. Every time he moves house, a new 1. So... you have better in a 1 in 4 chance. Plus the fact people are "pooled" in, helps your chance. In the past I was shitting it at this point, but now honestly - Im prepared for the worst. I will just be avoiding this place for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacko Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Absolutely bricking it. Managed to get tickets three years in a row 09, 10, 11 - but not a whiff since. A mate got me one in the coach sale for 2017 but that's it since then. There's 36 of us trying (in six groups of six) and I don't think I can bare the shame if my mega spreadsheet fails us for the second year in a row! PMA I guess.

Jensescapade Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I've tried and failed so many times. I have a strong feeling that my luck was used last year when we got coach tickets for my 40th birthday. Trying to stay positive though, its not over til I see the dreaded sold out message.

Sasperella Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I feel weirdly calm. I don't know if thats because I know I'm as prepared as I can possibly be or because i've accepted it probably wont happen. Having a very relaxing night in... got a takeaway curry, gonna set up all the text shortcuts and stations, then maybe have a nice bath and go to bed. My friends were saying earlier that back at uni they used to get tickets after coming home at 6am after raving all night... This is a very different vibe!

dexydexy Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Last year was the first year ever that we have tried for tickets and failed. It has definitely knocked my confidence for this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had a 1 in 4 chance technically most groups of 6 would get in. I'm with you though - if I don't get tickets, I'll have to stay AWOL for a while.
