that's the deposit purchase queue/page. If you're lucky you get to an Ajax'd queue page, but it usually crashes

Why don't they rent a bit more rackspace for big festivals? I can't imagine the margins are that tight they couldn't get a few more servers.....

ya but is it the servers, or the network, so many elements can go wrong when you have this amount of people requesting a page!

Spread it across a few datacentres around the country? I'm sure this demand could be easily managed

It's the same every year though, that's what i don't understand. I'm guessing they've got another server to handle the glasto demand (going off the www2) but they've clearly underestimated.

Apparently if you're in the queue just "sit tight - it should then push you through to the buying point", quite!
Oh and you're a cunt Roffo
