Currently waiting to get tickets for the Championship play off final and this is the holding screen. Wouldn't mind something like this for Glastonbury. Note that this is a window sale and only for supporters in the top 'loyalty points' category which is about 7,500.

They are using queue it and that information is available if turned on. 
 

I had a ticket sale on see tickets the other day and for the pre sale you had to enter your email address before you got a place. 
 

I opened a couple of browser/containers and tested it and it gave me the same session id for all of them.

any changes become obvious yet ? still early I know

Always checking the official site but nothing yet. Reckon prices might be up by at least 5 or 6%.
If anyone is interested Ziggu camp is available for off site booking with a refundable deposit.

Think some of the more techy people may spot some signs before it’s announced publicly if there are to be any changes

Wouldn’t expect any changes to be announced until very close to the ticket sale so people don’t have a chance to adapt to them.

Bring it back😊😉

Can anyone technical explain why they can’t just make you log in before the sale goes live? 
 

8-9am log in window, then randomly assign queue positions, one per registration. Or is that too close to à ballot for everyone’s taste

[Justcalledtosay]

It may as well be a ballot now.

That's what the PDC did with the members sales, now they have moved towards a ballot, the two are not the same.

It's not a technical reason.  They could do it - they obviously don't want to make it a ballot.

There would be nothing to stop people registering using different email addresses, friends and family members home addresses etc and create multiple registrations. Unless a fail-safe system was in place to prevent this. It's a loophole that is pretty difficult to close.

Imagine if you accidently ended up with 5-6 tickets if all your regs got through?!

That's a better outcome than none though, despite the cancellation fees! 😂

You could easily prevent that with a bit of planning (each group uses a nominated card - and the cardholder only accepts a SCA transaction once).

A month or so before any ballot a group of up to six is registered and a lead booker named.  That gives see tickets time to check if any individual’s registration, post code  and details appears more than once on different groups and removed
then on ticket allocation day tickets the groups are just randomly balloted. 
It’s felt like a ballot in the last few years, just sitting staring at the dreaded two lines, glancing nervously at the clock as time passes. Maybe the f5 refresh gave you the sense that you were actually doing something 😊
