Glastonbury 2013

Glastonbury 2013 ticket sorted along with my bus ticket from London, happy days.

The only down side is I start a new job next week and have no idea how my new company is going to react to this.

Aw well, if you're not in you can't win

Balance of my ticket is now paid.

I was in the exact same position, started new job last month. Tell them early. I'm taking 4 days off and it was no problem.
I've spent the guts of €1,000 at this stage so I was going....... one way or another (In the words of One Direction )

Yes, but if you are trying to pay the balance for a ticket with a non UK address then you are too late as that should have been done last month. If the ticket is registered for a UK resident then it can only be paid for with a UK debit card.

True, bring back Beyonce and Jay-Z I say!

not even that, all the headliners this year arent even established enough to be 'glasto' headliners? mumford and sons only peaked within the last year or so, but for them to be headlining is boll*x

Sorry, was forgetting myself for a bit there. Yep, you can use a credit card.

THE. ROLLING. STONES.

Mumford and Arctic Monkeys are exactly in line with what they've done before. Some of these lineups below will look better now than they did at the time but remember people like Muse in 2004 were not known as the powerhouses they are now and had as many people bitching about them as Mumford and Sons has now at the time (not equating the bands but the stature they had in the mind of the general public at the appropriate time).

2002 Coldplay, Stereophonics, Rod Stewart.
2003 REM, Radiohead, Moby
2004 Oasis, Paul Mc Cartney, Muse
2005 White Stripes, Coldplay, Basement Jaxx
2007 Arctic Monkeys, Killers, The Who
2008 Kings of Leon, Jayz, The Verve
2009 Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Blur
2010 Gorillaz, Muse, Steve Wonder
2011 U2, Coldplay, Beyonce.

I'm just happy we didn't get Coldplay again because what the hell Michael Eavis? Getting the Rolling Stones who usually charge half the ticket price for their own shows pretty much makes up for any assumed "non headliner" power of the other 2.

Really looking forward to the new 'AfterLife' theme Shangri-La. Bladerunner world has been completely destroyed to make way for this new weird and wonderful playground

This year once Festivalgoers enter the Shangri-la Afterlife there's no saying what their fate might hold. They could stumble across a secret headline performance at the epic open air 'Hell Stage', blag their way into Heaven to drink divine cocktails in the 'Garden of Eaden', rub shoulders with a pole dancing angel in 'The Temple of the Blessed Snakepit' or wander wide eyed through the winding alleys of the 'Seven Circles of Hell'. The choice of delectably perverse and exquisite experiences is limitless in the sh-Afterlife.

Howaya!

Are ye getting glasto tickets this weekend?? I'll just share some nerdyness about browsers and auto refresh etc, cos it probably does help somebit.

First of all download firefox, and chrome, and use internet explorer/safari too.

Using firefox, go here and download...https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-refresh/
Using chrome go download...https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/auto-refresh-plus/oilipfekkmncanaajkapbpancpelijih?hl=en
For internet explorer download http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=75011&t=0&i=1 (i dont think i used any auto refresh yoke for internet explorer)

Its easy enough to get them all up and running. For firefox you need to right click on a page, and go to Auto Refresh, then go to customize and set it to about every 5 seconds or something. For chrome click the blue square at the top and set the timer to whatever and click start. With internet explorer, click on the bar at the top and set the refresh interval same as the others.

Resize all the different browsers on the screen so you can watch them all at the same time...then go to the glasto page http://glastonbury.seetickets.com/ and let them all refresh like a motherfuker! If you do manage to get past the waiting page, remember to TURN OFF the auto refresh on the one that got thru so it doesnt loose the page!!

If your buying for more people, make sure you copy and paste everybodies details and postcodes from all your registration emails that they sent you, and keep all the info in a notepad file or spreadsheet or something. This way when you get thru, it wont be a panicking typing disaster, and you can calmly paste everyone in one by one, as well as your credit card details, address etc.

Its good to keep an eye on boards.ie/twitter etc to monitor how everyone is getting on!

Good luck!

I'm almost certain the load balancer that is being used works on issuing a limited amount of cookies per minute. If you happen to refresh when there is a free cookie you get in. Running different browsers doesn't help this as they aren't bothering with agent based or ip based limiting or otherwise from anything I've seen or heard (other than the pigeon superstition that will always form on efestivals with people swearing browser X is the way to get them). Auto refresh is good advice but just use the one browser with multiple tabs running auto refresh will be as good as multiple browsers.

Ohh i know yeah- but its easier to be just looking at them all on the one screen rather than jumping between tabs.

It worked for me anyway! At one stage two browsers went through one after another

I literally can't wait. 8 of us going.
2 mates are trying the resale too, so I've got their reg details and will be up on Sunday to join in the fun to try and get them there! Looks like I'll be on the iPhone, but that might be no harm.

Quick question regarding the auto-refresh addons, is this just the saame as hitting F5?
Was reading on efestivals that using Ctrl and F5 is better as it fully reloads the page? (not too well read on this stuff so not sure if it makes a difference)

Success! Got in almost straight away on the coach package. Not ideal but didnt want to risk leaving it to try and get just the ticket.

Anyone still looking? Have a booking page open for wed coach, was trying for someone on efestivals but they got sorted
