My quick maths might be way out here, but that suggests over 2 million individuals trying for tickets. That figure seems a little high to me. If I had to guess, I reckon the successful percentage is around 25-30%

Definitely doesn't feel like it accounts for people trying on multiple devices, or people trying on behalf of friends. We always have some non-attendees who volunteer to try for us and imagine others do too.

Does anyone have a clue about the direct links for Wednesday and Thursday coaches?

Last year somebody posted these days before the sale, and they turned out to be correct!!

Wednesday

Thursday

What are you basing that on? 

And what are the params at the end of the url?   Why would it be 35 this year? 

Thanks

What's the advantage of the direct link? Just one fewer redirection?

Wish I hadn't bothered! pita trying to get the new link to show correctly. However, it's based on previous years where they have just moved up by a digit, if you try the old links it comes up with "this event is now in the past" if you try a random number such as

https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/event/glastonbury-2024-ticket-coach-travel/worthy-farm/5500011

you will get an "event not found" response, if you try the link I posted it will revert to the extras page rather than an error which would suggest it may well be a valid link. (I could well be wrong though!)

that looks like a resale link , the deposits like has the word deposits in it somewhere i think ?

Yeah i messed up while trying to post the link and ended up editing it wrong, should be

https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/event/glastonbury-2024-deposits/worthy-farm/3500011

thing is the links still seem to work as long as the code is correct.

[hoppi27]

Looks fab. thanks!!

I have heard somewhere that only a certain number of devices can attempt to get tickets under 1 IP. If I have 3 people, each using 2 devices in the same house and on the same wi-fi, will this be efficient?

[nowyouregideon]

The bit I always panic at is when details are entered and you click through to the next page and freezes. Refresh the blank page orbgo backwards and forwards/click through again?

I’ve had the page hangs once after entering payment details, pressed back, and reentered details, that worked.  If it doesn’t work I reckon it’s back to the beginning.

Go back, then resubmit the page.

It's not known for definite but it's a reasonable certainty that each device will be seen by See as distinct even where they may be sharing the same IP.

To minimise any risk try to split connections between WiFi and 4/5G as much as you can do.

This happened to me a couple of times, thankfully on the 3rd/4th time it said “this reference number has already purchased tickets” at that point I stopped screaming and shouting in anger and started screaming and shouting with excitement!

as a 1st timer this year this process was terrifying!

Yeah it’s pretty nerve shredding but does reward persistence . Don’t think those nerves ever dissapear …. I wonder if anyone has ever filmed the sale or would that be losing a valuable device .

Yes, the time it happened to me I didn’t know we had got tickets until the e mail confirmation arrived

[Penrhos]

After last sale - make sure you use a debit card you know works with your banking app - got caught out with that one last year.....

Will be 100% using the one I know worked for Springsteen tickets a couple of weeks ago...

Also doesn't hurt to run a manual "windows update" today so it doesn't try kicking off during the sale tomorrow.

 

I've also added seetickets.com to my "trusted sites" in ublock origin and a couple of other apps I've got as extensions in chrome.

I see the bbc have just put ten tips to get glastonbury tickets on their news website. The secrets are out😊😉

I had a rather encouraging conversation today with the cashier in our coop.  No Worthy Cheddar on the shelves so I asked if there was any stashed away, and mentioned the competition. He told me with some certainty that he was going to buy a ticket. Turned out he'd been organised enough to register, but was completely unaware of when the sales are!

So the big question is did you tell him?

You sure he just wasn’t bluffing in case you didn’t know the sale dates either?!

It would be against the Glasto spirit not to... but I seriously doubt he'll be f5ing like his life depends on it from 08.59 on Sunday, and if he is good luck to him.  Not as much luck as me, obvs ☺

Ive only ever got the coach once from Newcastle, I'd prefer to get a train. 

Just noticed the single coach journeys. So you can get a one way coach from Taunton or Bristol and you get a ticket as well?

Yes you get the ticket too, these sell out even faster though as it's basically en route for most people so a very popular first or second choice if the coach is sold out from your home town, and you don't have to fork out for return journey. Always worth a go though!
