Ticket day setups …

[Crazyfool01]

These are my 2 work stations … have a friend coming over to help … iPads have the live spreadsheet on both … mixture of 5g tether and fibre one broadband … safari browser of choice with shortcodes preprogrammed for bus people …. Payment card to hand . Might add a thatchers later for nerves

Fair play for the dedication and organisation.

Frankly I couldn't be bothered. Fortunately I don't need to.

Laptop (on WiFi) and phone (on 5g).

I've got two hands so can refresh each about once per second.

The only other thing I do is pray 🙏

sadly not possible on a Mac unless I can figure out a way to assign one key to refreshing rather than command r ...... but I tend to focus on 1 anyway and have the second as backup ...

Poor planning on my part, but I am redecorating at the moment, so stuff is all over the place.  I will just have to try as best I can tonight with a couple of devices.

[guypjfreak]

I'm going to be here for any help tonight 

[lendan]

2 work computers connected to work servers and hardlined in (unsure if this helps but this is how I got lucky last ticket day) a total of 4 phones/tablets (2 wifi 2 5G) 

Good luck everyone, i will only be trying on Sunday

Nice one hopefully you can help some posters on the night

I feel like there should be some sort of award each year for the most successful buyer with the most rubbish setup. The one who forgets it's ticket day until one minute late, has to log on from halfway up Ben Nevis with one bar of signal and somehow still manages to get through.

I'll be on hotel wifi tonight, and dodgy roaming singal / airport wifi at 4am on Sunday. I am not optimistic.

The only time we were successful is where 5 of us sat in our houses refreshing between 3-4 devices each and the one person who wasn't as interested managed to get through on their phone sat in the parking lot of their gym.

I think @Crazyfool01only shares this stuff because I'll be jealous how nice his house looks.  Can you sort mine out too 😉?

I'll be on comparatively speedy WiFi in a Portuguese hotel using a mobile plus laptop I bought purely cos they botched my plans by moving the sale date.  Nb it will be used after, but that was the trigger as didn't fancy carrying a desktop, keyboard and monitor or persuading my partner holiday would be cancelled.

And you are as likely as any to get through … it’s really just luck with the odd thing that maximises the luck .

I could do with some of that luck virus that Lister has in that episode of Red Dwarf!

@Crazyfool01 probably vacuumed round, removed loads of takeaway food cartons and empty cider bottles before the photo 😀

Have a few friends coming round to press F5

Thinned down this year after realizing I can't cope with more than 3 devices at a time.

1) Laptop VPN'd into work as they have a thick internet pipe.

2) Laptop on home network (Virgin) - connected with a network cable for a little less lag.

3) Desktop VPN'd into Europe (usually my bittorrent PC so has permanent VPN running)

4) Phone to keep an eye on here..

There’s at least an element of truth to this although I barely drink these days unless at events

Sticking with volunteering myself, but will try for friends. Last time I was lucky booking myself is about ten years ago. Maybe it's time I got through again....
