BristolJT Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Congrats to everyone who got tickets this morning! Successful people, did you leave it to refresh on its own every 20 seconds or do you smash f5 and refresh the page yourself constantly until you get through?

faymondo Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Whatever my lovemaking effort to the refresh I failed to make it climax. Got very close though but no big "O" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodWillOut Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 refresh like your life depends on it, just not more than once a second though 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon F Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Hit refresh repeatedly on my laptop whilst my phone was left to its own devices on the holding page . Looked down to see the phone had gone through to the site! So in this entire scientific experiment with a large sample size of one, refresh is not the way to go.

FrankieX Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I had three tabs on my PC plus my phone. I was refreshing on Firefox, and got through on Edge (which was on the 20 second timer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprefan Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Both. Leave some to refresh and f5 others. Had a couple pop up the screen eventually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatingglitter Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Had two laptops open. One I was manually refreshing. The other I left alone. The untouched was the one that went through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Grump Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I had the add-ins 'Easy Auto Refresh' on Chrome and 'Amazing Auto Refresh' on Edge running (both with a 10 second refresh)...managed to get through to regs & payments on Edge at 09:26, payment hung for a few seconds then got confirmed at 09:28 (Chrome got to reg page just as the payment went through on Edge). So yes, (auto) refreshing constantly, but at 10 second intervals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catavento Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Always refresh for me, I figure that even if you don't get there, at least you feel like you've taken it into your own hands a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilduck Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I got through with a laptop that was auto refreshing every second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestacres Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Having always been successful using google chrome and F5 this year the unrefreshed Firefox tab was the only one that got through in the coach sale. Chrome didnt even make it onto the holding page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discgoesmic Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Refreshinator was successful for me getting tickets, refreshing every 0.01 second, although not until after tickets apparently 'sold out'. Obviously there were huge issues with the site but it shows how many people were trying if it took this long, so solely leaving it to 20 second refresh would put you at a disadvantage in my view. If you do use this, I would recommend using a connection like a VPN or mobile data so that you don't get rate limited on your main connection (albeit an urban legend that this happens).

Alvoram Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 So it depends... On the holding page, with the devices that were being refreshed more often, we had way more connection issues and drop outs, finally got past holding using my main PC which was only being refreshed every 20 seconds. However, once past holding, it said sold out, and I was mashing refresh like mad until a slot popped up and I could enter details. Then it took me to the confirm names and deposit amounts page, but it didn't appear, instead it said sold out again, so once again I was mashing refresh until a slot appeared. Then it took me to the payment page, and guess what, yep, sold out, same process again, mash refresh until a slot came up, and card entry details appeared, plain sailing from there. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happened to me , several browsers open smashing F5 , looked down and my phone was there asking me how many tickets I wanted. got through on my phone in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadpheasant Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Half and half, all 6 of us were manually refreshing every 2-5s with another device left alone. Believe it was someone's device that was left alone that came through for us with tickets (after the sold out message), however 3 of us got through to the payment screen prior through manual refreshing.

Upside down frowner Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Over 5 devices and connections, laptop on edge manually F5' every two seconds got the registrations page (twice) when nothing else got close.
