I GOT TICKETS - MEGATHREAD

People are oviously emotional if they miss out, and it's not fair to rub it in their faces.

If you got a ticket for 2027, keep the chat in here.

Why does it seem like success rate has been worse this year?

If the system was designed to keep out the bots, then why does it (anecdotally) seem like regular people have done worse this year? I don't know anyone with tickets. Obviously could just be unlucky from the people I know. But still - seems weird.

Put in wrong person

Our booker managed to sort 6 tickets today. Trouble is he's put someone else's information in for the 6th ticket instead of my girlfriend's. I highly doubt it, but has anyone ever had this experience before? And is there anyway we can swap the 6th ticket for my girlfriend?

They did it - postcode verification is up

Hats off to See Tickets and the festival for presumably pressuring them to add postcode verification over the weekend, addressing the concerns we all shared after Thursday.

This should stop any mass scrapers from stealing or guessing registrations and compromising legitimate users.

Fingers crossed it works as the testing time must have been minimal!

Used a friend's registration to book Glastonbury, now they want extra money. Who controls the booking?

[Update: We received the tickets in the mail! And that "friend" is definitely getting ostracized from our group. :) ]

My friend wasn't trying for tickets this year, so I used their registration number on my phone to get into the queue for our group. We got through and booked successfully, with me as the lead booker.

Now my friend is demanding extra money from us for the tickets, and honestly I'm really pissed off about it.

Do we know who gets the booking confirmation? Would it be me as lead booker, or the friend whose registration was used?

Can they cancel, block, or otherwise mess with the booking if they wanted to?

I want to know exactly where we stand before I respond to them. Ffs can't even be happy about getting the tickets yet given this is happening.

I do have a working ticket but was so close for my bagging them for the family, best of luck for the resale folks 🤞

Can’t access queue if you got tickets Thursday

As was kind of expected, you can’t access the site if you’ve already got tickets from Thursday.

Have to also enter the postcode this time which doesn’t stop people scraping old syndicates.
