We had a newbie who had got through at the same time as someone else, but they said we're entering your details. Instead of entering others from the group, they just shut the page because they were sorted 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preference is train travel so go again on Sunday. Similar story here. Reg's entered, then some form of server error - clicked back and it took me onto ol' bluey. Gutted.

BackpackFullOfWarmBeer Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 I had a bit of a different experience this year. Was through almost immediately to the booking page on two devices. After submitting registration details, it went to the 20 second refresh page. I don't recall that previously. Figured once at the booking page, you were good to go (until you try to select coaches and there are none left...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieX Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Two of my four screens are still on the autorefresh holding page. I don't know if that means something has gone wrong somewhere, but I keep refreshing one of the browsers which isn't on the off chance a ticket is still out there...

Toilet Duck Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 1/18 actually got to put reg details in, but no further. 17/18 holding page and no more. Brutal again, but we go again on Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I think after it was announced it was sold out, some people did still manage sneak through up to 20 mins later. People will be hoping that's them.

Soulphuric Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) Reading through all the tips leading up to today helped me alot for readiness. I tried to get in as a test to see how auto refresh worked, and how far I could push it. I was autorefreshing on 2 browsers, same laptop, over the suggested 60 limit but no redirect to any page - it seemed to be happy enough trying. I did get through to reg details but unfortunately it crashed after. I guess there's nothing of a disadvantage starting to refresh before 09:00 on Sunday??

Gingerfish79 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 That's the last two Thursdays and a Sunday without going past the holding page for 12 of us. Last try on Sunday, if no joy I'm knocking it on the head. It's a good festival, but it really isn't worth this level of frustration anymore. It's just become silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosoyyoberdi Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 No one here should promote a lottery system. That would mean anyone who registers could get a ticket which actually decreases massively our chances. I am sure there are thousands of people who register and then just simply forget ticket day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
