I’ve tried the auto refresh thing on 3 sales and never got anything. I don’t think they are intelligent enough to stop when you need them to. I trust myself more than auto refresh

Their energy costs this year were probably far higher than what they expected when they set the price at the end of February kind of time too.

Biofuels haven’t suffered the same inflationary pressure but you’re still looking at £325 plus fees I reckon!

Ref my previous post it's reasonably certain that you don't need it to stop the instant a booking page is obtained, and that a subsequent refresh will simply reload the same page rather than lose it. 

It is all down to luck but I believe a mixture of manual refresh on one device, plus auto refresh running on one or more others, to be the most effective method of maximising your request attempts - particularly where there may only be one of you.

There is an auto refresh where you set it to stop refreshing when a certain word disappears meaning it got to the Main purchase section

Be careful with this....I seem to remember that much of the reg detail screen is actually gif images rather than text.....specifically so that such tools won't be able to read it and therefore not work.

I’m going to throw my fiver on it being £299 for a ticket, think they will want to keep it under £300 as a mental barrier for people. 
 

Won’t stop the complaining mind, but arguably festivals haven’t been “affordable” for atleast 10 years

Good logic. Hope you're right but don't think you will be. 

I'm going £310. 

[brettredmayne]

If ticket price is over 300 , any chance the deposit may see it’s first ride since introduction

I don't think so personally. Would there be any point? More in the bank for GFL to earn interest on I suppose...

Would I pay £300+ for a ticket?

Possibly, but I wouldn't want to go to Glastonbury as a punter.

More to pat VAT on after a non-trading quarter too. 

That said, they will be aware of the cost of living situation and it wouldn't surprise me to see a proper payment by instalments scheme come in this year as a lot of people will find it hard to pay the balance payment in one go.

Here a tip for you don’t get an appointment for an mri scan at 8am on ticket day. 

[gooner1990]

I think it might be £295.

Does anyone have a link to the ticket holding page? The URL which ends with Extras is just showing the site index now.

Ah, looks like they've taken the holding page down for good for now. Cheers!

What words should I be using for auto-refresh so it stops?

Postcode / Registration number?

The current system is so you can pay the balance in a new tax year, any changes to  the system would have to force up the price in the ticket .

you have 6 months after you pay the deposit so you can easily save it each month

This is the AutoRefresh extension I used for Chrome which helped me secure two coach resale tickets: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/auto-refresh-plus-page-mo/hgeljhfekpckiiplhkigfehkdpldcggm?hl=en

I think I used something like the word registration for when I wanted it to automatically stop refreshing.

I don’t pay, but I don’t think it’s safe to assume people can easily save anything over the next 6 months!
