I’ve had a couple of times where the reserving button seems to hang for ages. 

That's quite common around 00 or 30, I think it's just down to the number of people pressing the Proceed button at the same time rather than a slot being taken.

Excellent. I’m feeling more positive today.

Using Chrome and getting lost at point 3 on this?? I can't even see this listed??

 

Here's how to pre-emptively enable the "proceed" button so you're ready.. (instructions checked with Firefox, but I think Chrome and Edge should be minor cosmetic differences at most):

1. Right Click on the "Choose a Festival" box
2. From the context menu, choose "Inspect"
3. A pane or window should come up showing the web page code - expand the part starting with "<select id" (on firefox it should jump straight to this and highlight it)
4. Find "<option value="4"" and remove the bit that says "disabled="disabled""
5. Close the code pane/window and go back to the page. Select Steward and Glastonbury from the list.

Job done. You may also choose to remove the "sold out" text, but this is purely cosmetic so it doesn't matter either way.

I was wondering if it’s cos there was a slot there but went to someone else

Expand the select text box...find the little expand button at the end of the text and it'll open it all up

Once you get the proceed screen don't refresh. I just clicked proceed a few minutes before hand til got through at 9.30 on the dot today and 8am yesterday

hi there..do you need to have at least got to some kind of proceed option/page before trying the new method, or may the new method simply work from the off (for some context, myself and wife haven't even seen an un-greyed Glasto option after a week of trying!) ? Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Right click and click on edit and it'll bring up the cursor. Delete the disabled words

Your run of luck has given me so much hope, please, I'll take all the help I can get!

[oakdown]

I'm at my desk essentially all day so if anyone wants me to try for them let me know!

What I mean is, I've just been hitting refresh all week but still just seeing "Glastonbury - Sold Out". Have never got the chance to click on any ungreyed drop down after refreshing...so question was, do I need to keep try the refresh method then once I manage to get a drop down try the new/coded inspect method, or can you just skip the refresh and try the new/coded inspect method (so essentially this is new method is doing the refresh for you in my eyes?)? Thanks!

[chestwig]

Right I am finally there. So now I have Glastonbury sold out and can click proceed. 

Hope theres some action at 11am 🙂
