Booking pages are an absolute myth at this point, not seen one in about 5 years

Still just the blue screen of death for me too.

Would you rather that or get to the one where you enter everything then it chucks you off? Happened loads to us over past 6 years, and again already today.

I got timed out on the payment page and it won't let me try again as 'order in progress'.

Not sure if that means I should be confident or not!?  Can't seem to do anything else anyway, so might as well just wait and see.

first time I went to Glastonbury I bought a ticket in a shop a few weeks before.

seetickets would like us to close down multiple devices 😐

[sammysundae]

I'd love to see the booking page. As it stands I've not seen it in years and I worry that its something to do with where I live, or my setup or some other factor that means I can never get tickets and don't even know.

My first (well, my first with a ticket :o )  I finished my last GCSE and walked into Our Price in Bristol... packed the car and set off first thing the next morning!

It's just ludicrous now.

We need another year like when Jay Z was announced and it didn't sell out until the Friday of the festival. They were selling them in shops that year I believe.

Just clicked F5 on the forum page. Sure. 

[al_coholic]

OMG just got tickets for 4.

[El Scorcho]

Was stuck on the proceed button for what seemed like a life time, but eventually after inputting details about 5 times, got sorted for 3 tickets.

[Jacko45]

Feel bad gloating but 5 tickets for us, second year - two in a row.

 

Good luck everyone. 

[Steeeeve71]

Oh, okay then... 🙄

[airwaves]

9:30 Just got 5

 

After entering 'details' i got a white screen for minutes, then a 'resubmit' message

A few more mins, then 'Confirmation of details' came up. Then on to payment, with my details preloaded

Banking verification (via my bank app) was p[ainless

Confirmation received

People who have succeeded - tell us your secrets. Autorefresh or just waiting it out?

[stevieweevil]

For those who have been successful, were you refreshing like mad on the blue screen or patiently waiting for the 20 sec timer?

 

[al_coholic]

I got service unavailabe message at every step, but just refreshed each page and got through.

Manual refresh on two devices, 20 second auto refresh on phone. One browser only on each device. Got through on one of the manuals.

I thought now tickets were silly money that might put some off, obviously not.

Oh well, off to the Seychelles for week instead I guess.
