DonalMallon Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Has the 60 per minute refresh limit been lifted? I have seen on threads you can test this out all year round by trying on https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/content/extras. To test I set it refresh every 0.5 seconds, yet I don't seem to be blocked or see the holding page people have mentioned before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly possible that even at 0.5 sec rate network congestion is sufficient enough to dump some of your attempts and keep you below the limit. Personally...not risking it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until the day and whats ublished here. Tbh modifying your hosts is if anything a risk deending on what see do on the day. Just in case, can you remind me where to find my hosts file on Windows Vista? (I know). I think I've asked this question every year since the 2012 great hosts file hack. I'm even more forgetful and technically illiterate a decade later. 17 hours ago, Pinhead said: I'd say put the see tix url in your whitelist in the browser as well so it can use whatever cookies, scripts etc that it wants unimpeeded. Again. Technically illiterate. What's a whitelist and where may I find it? Running chrome and android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cream Soda Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Last year we had a link to a version of the ticket page which obviously wasn't live, but it could be used to check reg details were entered correctly and to set up autofill...is there one for this year?

No I don’t think there has been. It was active for a sort of pre-sale for friends of the festival in past years. Maybe they just haven’t done one this year, or did it via a different method.

Yes. I remember that from 2012. There were detailed instructions on here. Best. Hack. Ever. Can't see it ever happening again though. I live in hope.

glast0gal Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 On 10/30/2023 at 12:36 PM, parsonjack said: The best/safest strategy is to have as many devices as you can on different connections, and therefore different IP addresses eg. 1st laptop on wifi, 2nd laptop on /5G mobile hotspot, 3rd laptop on another 4/5G hotspot etc. The true risk to folks using shared wifi is not fully known but it is likely that separate devices on shared wifi are actually seen as different connections by See (even though using same IP address...) and that the risk of breaching the limit is therefore mitigated. Safest approach is above, or a mix at best. Thanks, that was helpful! To share some knowledge, my boyfriend and I conducted a little experiment where we each refreshed the page 31 times each within a minute. We were both sent to the busy page. Think we will have a mixture of hotspots and WiFi. The See Tickets page is still directing users to the busy page if you exceed 60 clicks in a minute so best to keep below this. The only thing winding me up at the moment is that one of our group members doesn't want to go from London (it's a totally feasible option in terms of accommodation/starting our Glasto journey from there) - now is not the time to be picky!!!

Cw91 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Another quick one for anyone thats been successful. Is the postcode space sensitive for the space after the 1st 3 num/letters? Its an Irish postcode ie. I have it down as X92 xxxx and not X92xxxx Cheers Edited November 1, 2023 by Cw91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the best way to implement it is to strip out spaces and then compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
