Ticket Poll

[Tranquility of Solitude]

I’m interested when people got their tickets. I think there was thousands available after the sold out message.

I got 6 at 10.09

About 10:20am here. Our groups were notably more successful after See announced tickets had sold out.

It’s early days on this poll, and I’m not normally a conspiracy theory type, but tweeting sold out to ease the server load? 🤔

6 tickets secured at 9.20

12 tickets after 10. There were loooads of people in the thread saying they got a bunch after 10.

They 100% Tweeted it out early to lighten the load.

Loads of our groups got tix after the Sold Out tweet.

But I don't think there was a conspiracy - just loads of failed transactions coming back on line.

This is crazy - we got ours today before the 'sell out'

Wonder what its actually like as a lot of people would give up

Seems like communication problems between the festival and seetickets.  One was saying sold out at just after 10 whilst see tickets were saying75%sold at roughly the same time. That’s why we kept going.

Does my vote count seing as it was you that got them for me?     My theory is that this year there was 2FA in place and tickets were locked while the payment clock ran down; looking at other comments it seems some people had authorisaton problems and lost the tickets.   I guess See were counting the tickets that got to the payment authorisaton but didnt account for the ones that got released after authorisation failure or time-out.

If I were Seetickets i would be concerned about the authorisation time-outs /falures - the payments networks should be robust enough to handle those volumes so more likely to be a Seetickets issue.

We managed to get 8 tickets post the “sold out” announcement. 10.22 was when we secured the last of them

The announcement defo helped us out in this regard.

4 tickets secured at 09:02. Yeah I can’t believe it either. I always enter the reg details in a flash anyway due to keyboard shortcuts - but in disbelief at the fact I got through straightaway. 

[TiZuff]

9 tickets from 10.15-10.30

[Wherethewildthingsare]

My friend’s daughter got them for us at 10.25!

Honestly, I had to check several times I hadn’t accidentally gone on to a duff / fake site by accident because i couldn’t believe I just got straight through. Feeling incredibly lucky 

[circus92]

Got my group at 10:01 and got another group at 10:23.  12 tickets 😁

[phillyfaddle]

We got ours at 9:50. Saw some tweets saying sold out just after 9:30, but then looked on here…and kept going. Friend got them, but I got thru to Add Reg at same time.
