ooohh

thats why all the ticket sites have crashed


umm cool

i recommed ww.ticketline.co.uk they seem to have taken all pictures and prettyness off their site to stream quicker
win.


nice

seriously though try ticketmaster... its not down at the moment


anyone succeeded yet?

ticketmaster is denying they have them???


stargreen

just sorted me out...


what about confirmed line up?

as i can't even get on the freaking site


neither can I

And the site for Leeds is the same! Rubbish.


^this

Any help?


apparently. yes.

i've had it up since fucking 6 oclock, and now the tickets aren't even there!

does reading usually sell out THIS fast?!


ticketmaster only have a small allocation

seetickets have most of them. And seetickets is notorious for falling over if you have more than three people using it at once... so everyone else has gone to ticketmaster/stargreen and snapped up their allocations, most likely...


anybody

got the direct link for seetickets event page

ticketmaster has all gone


this would be nice


seetickets died about 6pm

good luck.


Another forum has mentioned...

https://www.wayahead-secure.co.uk/1seez/orderform.asp?showcode=262573&pricetype=5&filler1=see

as a backdoor link for See. Can't vouch for it myself.

Nor can I believe after all these years that See still can't get its fucking shit together for things like this.


it's bone, isn't it?

still, all part of the festival experience, eh?


this works!

go here. no mention of early bird or car park though.


Why would you say that?!

it looks ok to me... thanks for making me panic now :O


it is guys, its the see tickets

server
EPIC WIN!


sorry i'm a paranoid twit!

although i seem to remember thinking the same a year ago, when i was booking glastonbury ones, worse still was that the email took like 2 days to come!!!


and now i'm constantly

checking my emails too! why do i have confirmation of the early bird and not the tickets yet, etc. argh, off for dinner methinks.


THANKS!

:D

got my tickets. seetickets really is crock of shit


:) thanks

i'm going to asume you are a life save


No problems

Looks like everyone else here got through quicker here than me. Thankfully I finally got em after 50 minutes. Now to buy a new F5 button for my keyboard.


yes^

i don't even believe ticketmaster has/had any


NME's Countdown

is now saying tickets are on sale at 7.30 ?

seems a little strange - any corroboration of this new sale time that anyone can find elsewhere?


no

my experience is that it crashes, they hardly sell any.. then you can get tickets about an hour later


i

got one on reading weekender ticketline - but now they only have day tkts


i

The Dillinger Escape Plan
Every Time I Die
Circa Survive

FUCKING HELL!


yeap

nme.con saying the same, bit different to what we thought!


Yes, I've shared that experience

Annoying fucking thing is that I was together enough to get Early Bird tickets last September so could avoid this sort of annoying stressful shit.

Then naturally a mate rings up today moaning that both him and his missus are busy tonight and would muggins here care to do the needful?

I'm charging a pint per 30 minutes. Is that too cheap a rate?


so what's every listening to?

shaped by fate personnaly


flipper


???

Is this site legit????? Anyone bought and recived tix form this site


I can't get any of these wayahead links to work

They all just come up with page cannot be displayed.


snap


they all work fine

for me...


me neither

:( reading is depressing


i love you

because now i don't have to drive to my closest HMV in the morning.

Just had to double check i got reading, not leeds tickets lol THANK YOU!


cheers for that heads up

that seemed so easy! nice one


is wayahead alright? its definitely legit?

seriously?! im on an order form and kind of concerned.


its part of seetickets

but it doesnt fucking work for me!!! ARGH


it's see

do it


If it's any confort to people who

ordered off Wayahead, I got my confirmation email after about 2 hours.


I just used a wayahead link

and filled out all info, incl card no and the submitted then after a minute i got service busy???? wtf? have i been charged?

has this happened to anyone else?


this happened to me

but i assumed i had ordered it regardless! eek.


yeah thats happened to me

twice
so im hoping it hasnt gone through or ive just spent like 1000 pounds


how many times have you done this?

i have done it twice? i'm really quite concerned now....


i did it three times

im assuming until you get a confirmation screen theres nothing to worry about


you may not even get

a confirmation email by this time tomorrow


have you had a confirmation email?

if not, they won't have your order.. one of my friends got stung by this last year


errm right

thanks for the completely contradictory replies :(


it can take 24 hours to get the confirmation email

sorry, trying to get on to sort out one of my friends too, so replying in half-thoughts...


the confirmation as it said could take 3 hours or more to come

so if you havent got one by tomorrow thn start to worry


i'm not sure which is more worrying?

paying for ten tickets or not getting a confirmation email?


just found another order form

You will not be asked to confirm this order - once you click the button, you will have ordered tickets. Due to the high demand it may take some time for your request to be processed. Please be patient - don't click the button again or use your browser's "back" button.

says this above the order button... have a feeling ive got them :)


hmmm, we'll see, i seriously doubt either of us have tickets vestergaard.

I hope we do, but equally i hope all transactions have not gone through or i am totally poor.


you can always sell them?

you could shift them in a couple of days. although i appreciate the inconvenience of spending £1000+ on this.

anyhow, i doubt your serious doubt, ever the optimist.


I really hope this is the case

as the confirm page did not load at all for me, and nowhere else seems to have any left...


if this is the case i have WAAY too many tickets

hmm do i try again? or like you assume this has worked? how can it not show a confirmation, surely the only way it would fail would be if the transaction failed? no?


i

have done filled this 3 time - twice busied

then - confirmed!


I can only go on past experience with See...

- don't give up until you get a big black confirmation page saying your tickets are ordered. Anything else means it hasn't gone through.

- don't panic if you don't get a confirmation email straight away, they can take a day or so (despite the original page saying within a couple of hours)

- there is very occasionally a horror story of someone buying too many tickets, but See knows their system is shit, and will cancel no questions asked. At the very least you shouldn't have ordered more than the max allowed per card. (Was it 4 or 6?)


6, i'm with you on the confirmation screen

....?

maybe one more try?


thanks

i was worrying about the confirmation email, but you're right, i remember they do take a while. expecially tonight, i guess!

everyone is wonderful. thankyou all :D


SOLD OUT!!!!

ARRRRRRGGGHH!


don't worry

for tomorrow is another day :)


ugh

my moods changed, i dont feel good about this


fuck

just got through on my mobile

gave them my card number, sort code, expiration date, told them type of card and bank

just before i gave them my name and address i ran out of money on my phone.

what should i do?


WORST RESULT EVER!

I have just filled out all the forms submitted, and i'm now the proud owner of 2 Friday Day tickets, i DON'T WANT THESE!!!


I'm...

Ticket + Coach from London package so...

28 quid more than face value, just for the crapness of going on a coach. probs better than ebay.


heads up

ive got 2! just got the confirmation email. considering i filled the form out and ordered twice, i may possibly have another 2 on the way :(

but still :D
