notverynick Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Secured 8 tickets 3 long after the sold out notifications See and the payment processor have a lot to answer for As does 2FA on credit/debit cards. We don’t have all that in the US so dodged that bullet Congratulations to everyone who succeeded. Good luck in the resale for everyone else, we have six more we’re trying for come the resale!

09matthewsw Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 What a feeling guys! Booking confirmed at 9.56 when all hope seemed lost. Had gotten through a couple times before that point and experienced some of the crashes others have been talking about. It’s hard to think of a better system for tickets but I do feel like the current system is maybe close to having runs it’s course (in the same way as selling the tickets in HMV and over the phone ran it’s course). Everyone knows to try multiple devices, browsers, has friends and family trying. People get their tickets and then go straight back in to try for friends. There’s probably not many systems in the world that can handle the traffic that it produces. It worked really well 2014-2017 and felt fair. You new you were through if you were entering your details. Payments crashing at the last moment just seems cruel. I’m not saying it should be changed straight away but I do hope they’re thinking about what sort of changes they could make to make it more inclusive. The world of getting tickets is a cruel one though. Either way, happy to be in and happy I don’t have to get the coach this year!🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 So glad to see all this success (also very glad i got mine in coach - this morning was a shambles!!) We managed to get 5 more for the rest of our main group, some +1s didn't get theres but we'll have another go for the resale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danssol Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I was scuppered by the payment process but my tickets were secured very very late. Still an Amazing feeling. Now when is the first poster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipine Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 We sorted two more groups of friends today, despite some traumas with payment pages not progressing. Then managed to get some other friends sorted after 10am. Feeling very grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wherethewildthingsare Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Absolutely delighted! Thought all hope was lost until my friend saw £250 go out of her account! Her 15 year old daughter had got lucky at 10.25 well after the official “sold out”. My daughter got them at 10 after payment held for ages… (iPhone on 4g) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehorses Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Sadly me and lots of my group didn’t get them. A handful of our team did. Brutal sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffWanderer Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Oh my god, it's finally happened! 😃🔥🍻🕺 Excuse the excitement and emojis... My wife and I went to every Glastonbury from 2007 to 2010 and loved all of them. Our son came along in 2011 and we must have started trying for tickets every year from about 2015. Until this morning I've never managed to even get past the holding screen or system crashes. Today the Glastonbury angels were with me and I secured tickets for the two of us (plus a friend) 5 minutes after they were officially sold out. Just incredibly excited. Now I need you all to tell me what's changed in the last decade... Has the site got even bigger? Are there still giant fire-breathing robot things? Does it still take an age to traverse the site, or are there handy travelators / jet packs these days?

Avalon_Fields Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 4 hours ago, Gnomicide said: In 2014 a number of eFests members who were going solo formed a group. @Neilvery kindly set up a temporary separate part of the forum for us so we could exchange details etc. Anyway, 8 years later some of us are still going together, we've picked up a few waifs and strays, friends and family members along the way. At 10:24 we got confirmation the last group was in; 36 out of 36 purchased. It's a Christmas miracle! Excellent news! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padgey Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Absolutely buzzing to be going again next year, 8th year me and my mate we'll be doing and we've got 3 others joining us, 2 not been for a long time and a newbie. It was stressful again as I got the page of death but finally got in at 9:20. Got in again to try for someone else but it kept crashing when pressing proceed to payment page.

Justcalledtosay Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Real feel good factor reading all these messages 🥰 We had a bit of drama in our general sale group. Only had three to buy for experienced all the problems everyone else has but got through at 10:30ish. Everything was going fine until I got the message from the page that one of the group had already bought a ticket. A family member had been trying for him and got through before us. Meant one person missed out which was quite disappointing given the instructions I’d laid down. We’ll be trying for him in the re-sales. Anyway see you all down the farm in June!

PedroPete Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 We got through at 10.25 am, a good 20-odd minutes after the Sold Out signs went up. A couple of our group logged off just after 10am, put their phones away and accepted defeat when the Sold Out notifications went out. Was a great surprise for them when they both realised around 12.30pm they were going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d given up almost, and had actually wandered away from my devices.... two of which had crashed. Had stopped F5 and Ctrl R.... was just letting the remaining two devices which still had the countdown holding page run. Absentmindedly reloaded one of them and got through to the registrations page. It was touch and go between there and payment screen, with much use of the back button, but got there in the end! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
