The Zone

[flyleen]

7:30 Wake up, one coffee, remind everyone to stay off wifi, lock myself in my office with computer and phone. Get in the zone...check in with my group. No music, just super laser, blood to bone focus to get tickets.

C'mon let's do this! Good luck you lot!

...eFestivals off...

Are you kidding?

After so many got tickets for 2013 after the hosts file hack was posted on here?

I also keep Twitter open for the same reason.

Very unlikely to happen again I know.

First year I ever tried for tickets, was hoping it would always be that easy!

I'd love 2008 (I think, Jay Z year) easy again

the Lord's prayer (seriously)

The Life Of Pets on the TV (to distract my 3 year old).

Strong coffee brewed and ready to go. 

Laptop on WiFi and phone on 4G ready to go.

One last WhatsApp message to the group.

Then it’s fucking go time.

Nothing but my chrome tab, the numbers, and a slight panick that makes it hard to breathe and my arm feel numb.

I just want it to be over

I’ve been awake for ages now, time is moving slower than it should... Need that 9am to be out of my misery either way!

Up and at them...

Full Vincent Price Phantom of the Opera - 2 laptops, tablet - and obsessed.

Is it too early to start F5ing...don’t want to peak to early?

You know what I'm talking about.

3 minutes to 9 o'clock. Social media closed. eFestivals off. It's you, your monitor, and F5 until glory or bust.

What's going on in that moment, for you? How do you achieve focus? Is there music you put on while you refresh? Do you shut the door to attention-seeking pets? Notify your family to leave you alone for a bit? Think positively to achieve zen?

Or is it just balls-out panic until victory or disaster?

Not this!! occasional checks as to how everyone else is doing, and just in case see make another balls up with DNS enteries means that eFestivals is very much part of it all for me

I've just driven 70 miles after going to a Cud gig in Stowmarket and staying at a mates house near there.  A fresh pot of coffee is on, and my 21 year old has been woken up to man a laptop, a tablet and a phone.  

Yesterday, I wore a Glastonbury t-shirt and drank a bottle of Brothers festival.  Today, I'm wearing the 40th anniversary t-shirt.  I am ready.  I need this.  It will happen.

Best of luck you beautiful people!

Been awake since 3.30am. Woke up in an actual sweat as I was dreamind I'd gotten through on my phone, but couldn't get the registration numbers in as i didn't have a copy paste thing on my phone. Actual nightmareish sweats! What is ticket day doing to me!

[forgotoldemail]

I've got a MacBook, two iPhones and a Samsung on 4G. All alone. Thought I'd ask my dad to help with refreshing, he's spent the last 20 minutes insisting that there MUST be a box office number we can call at 9am ?‍♀️
