parsonjack Posted October 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Away in Thailand at present and using a VPN for security I just got this when opening Seetickets Glastonbury page..... I know some folks use a VPN to get a different IP on shared wifi but this could suggest it's detectable and maybe to be avoided 🤔  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) I connect computer to the hub using a cable rather than relying on Wi-Fi. , don’t know if it’s any better but it makes me feel more confident! iPad on Wi-Fi.  Phone on hand to verify bank details. Edited October 1, 2023 by Ayrshire Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time it’s really fast but yesterday it kept cutting out, and the existing cable no longer reaches. No idea what the issue was, but making me nervous for the 5th.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You´re better off just using your normal internet connection. Weirdly we´ve had more luck since living abroad (in Spain) than when we lived back home in the UK. I wouldn´t be suprised if there is an international server or something .

Yeah not ideal that. I did a couple of ticket days with grade 1 hangovers back when we started going, can’t do it these days. Need a fresh head! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Star Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Get a brew and a bacon sandwich in beforehand. It's stressful enough without being hangry.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernintendo Chalmers Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Consider ticket/coach option. Thoroughly check that all registration details are correct prior to the sale. Get lots of people to help, even those who might not be attending, however, be mindful that more helpers can cause other issues. Best to choose those experienced in this situation. Try not to be part of more than one group. If you're on a PC/laptop, have all of your registration, card details on a separate word document, for easy cutting and pasting. Be ready an hour before the sale. Run a broadband speed check, well before...just in case. Consider using your phone too but disconnect the broadband and connect via mobile data, particularly if you have a strong signal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackZeppelin Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Basic question: Â There are 10 of us and two groups are going for tickets - if there is overlap, so that there are a couple of people being tried for by both groups; what happens if both groups successfully get into the bit where the names and numbers are being entered....does the second group get bounced out, or do they just let the ones who haven't got tix yet progress?) Â (Sorry, I'm tired, and I've expressed that really badly. Hopefully someone understands.) Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
