The annual e-scrum for Glastonbury tickets kicked off at 9am this morning. By 8:30 the ticketing website had already stopped serving pages leaving some very stressed punters with some very blank browser windows. I've been reloading for over two hours and so far ... nothing. Nada. Zip. If I'm lucky I get a page saying 'Our site is busy'. Otherwise the connection just gets dumped. Don't even talk to me about the telephone option.
In 2005 all the tickets were sold out in three hours. Assuming things are progressing at the same speed that means I have less than an hour left. This could be a very stressful Sunday.
