Makes me want to commit murder when anyone in my group messages during a sale, the messages pop up right on the search bar and refresh button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a reload technique which means it essentially creates a new session. It's called like hard refresh or something There's a chance I'm making this up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to only have one screen to worry about whilst I am in full on ticket mode. Twice I have managed to secure coach tickets (once in a resale) on my commute home on my phone. No idea how I entered my card info on those two occasions I was shaking so much! Yeah and I’ve gotten through and bought someone tickets every T Day since 2014.

I have my phone on DND but any messages still come though to my watch so it'll be easy to have a quick glance at my wrist without anything popping up on my phone.

Edit: it looks cool and all just wondered why from a technical point of view Incognito doesn't contain any history or cookies, so generally this can give a more streamlined experience. Browsers pick up all sorts of configuration and settings and potentially it could get in the way. Arguably it's also an independent session but it will go through the same external IP address and DNS. Browsers can also pick up stale tokens that are used to access web pages. Worth noting it also won't contain cached words for fields (so if you've practiced on the form and saved it, your text won't show in here).

Calvin Klein Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) If you are outside the UK using a credit card, call the bank now and make sure you are approved to make such payment. Many credit cards come back declined even though they are fine. But for some reason you might need to have the payment pre approved by the bank. You don't want to be lucky enough to get through only to have your CC declined. Edited March 23, 2022 by Calvin Klein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzared Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 If the main sale normally sells out in approx 30 mins do we reckon the re-sale tickets will all be gone in a couple of minutes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly past resales have still lasted a bit longer than that, and that's a normal year with presumably less available. Hopefully follows the same pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSmurphy Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 I recommend using a 'text expander' extension on your browser. You can assign a trigger, I use 'R1/'P1 (registration/postcode), and it'll automatically fill in the information you've assigned. In this case it'd be the registration code and postcode. I find it much easier to quickly type 'R1, 'P1, 'R2, 'P2 etc. than copy and pasting this information or just writing it out. In the pressure of the moment and with sweaty hands, it makes things simple - I can have the booking form complete in seconds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
