Yeah seen that. Bigtime helps the large groups. 1 in, all in. Maybe they could at least limit 1 transaction per ip to even the odds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC7BBCHEAVEN Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 The system is already biased to large groups, things like this just make it a farce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob323 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I was luckly and got our groups tickets, and the first thing i tried was to click the back button to try for other groups - the back button did nothing. I was met with the holding page again is the "secret link" the one ending in 350000? because I had that going in about 50% of my tabs, along with just the normal link - no difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even get the number wrong at he end and it made no difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC7BBCHEAVEN Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 In the video above they seem to cut out the end of the link to go straight to the home page, and instead of joining a queue it presents an option to just buy tickets. Why that would even be a thing boggles the mind, unless a direct link is provided to certain groups/friends & family on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 That bloke showing his transaction number doesn't seem very wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many bots around at the moment, as all the sneaker kids have gotten into ticket reselling. But from what i can see they haven't made a notable dent in ticket purchases because Glasto tickets can't be resold and people don't trust botters enough to pay for 'ticket pulling' (One i saw was charging £50 per ticket, another £1,000!)

Trunks1993 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Feel like Glasto is just going to be full of massive groups this year. I was lucky on Thursday but didn't get a sniff today. Lot's of reports of single people buying 30+ tickets. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never stood a chance Yep, seeing a lot on Reddit who said they could point their address straight to the Seetickets buying page (not sure how true this is, it's beyond my tech illiterate skills) but definitely seems dodgy this year. Nothing new unfortunately, and the festival don't care how/who is buying tickets as long as it sells out, so it won't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gherkin8r Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 The secret link with 3500000 at the end was just the address when you got through to the reg page first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benc Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Tried and failed this morning. I’m not too bothered.. I’ve failed in the first sale for as long as I remember. but I was trying for myself and it was only me. The current system is weighted in favour of groups and buying blocks. It would be nice if this was shifted a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbilly Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Mate and his mates got 220 tickets with some software his mate made. Get them every year. Never fails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assorted Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I’m suspicious so far because no one is providing proof via any explanation of this “back door” so I’ll presume it’s nonsense until someone posts details. I figured out the coach link before hand this year, it changed the morning of the coach sale, FYI… and it got me nothing - 0/3 of my groups got coach. Same for direct link to general sale as others have mentioned See fixed it this year it got me nowhere. However, I got in on my non-VPN, manual refresh device mid-sale and was then able to get in again using my back button - not immediately - i was taken back to a holding page but I got in again a few minutes later and so got 2 groups. I did not get a 3rd group, I think because instead of using “back” i closed browser and reopened (i was quite flustered.) It’s pretty clear there was a preference somehow that allowed people that got in to get in multiple times that i seemed to be a beneficiary of. But until i see proof of a “back door” i don’t assume it’s true. (And a lot of the Reddit posts clawing “back doors” seem like people trolling).

BBC7BBCHEAVEN Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 This is supposedly the method. How legitimate it is, or how they get IP addresses I don't know.

I seem to remember this method then didn't work for a number of years. It looks like that's changed. I think the one a few years ago was slightly different. If I recall correctly there were two severs (IPs?) and all traffic was being directed to one of them. Someone figured out if you hit the second one you got straight in because it was under-utilised. I think they fixed it about 2/3s the way through that sale. Todays seems different. It’s as if there is something throttling getting onto a booking server. But if you can direct straight to it you get straight in. Someone with better tech knowledge can probably explain both a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
