Glastonbury ticket farce

OK so we did our thing, got our pre-registration numbers after sending in the form with our pretty faces on - to reduce fraud and increase our chances of getting a ticket. Today, April Fools day, there we were - 8.55 - online in 2 houses, on 5 different phones, trying all the options to increase our chances.

The two options - seetickets.com and 0870165200. At 9am neither of these worked. For the last hour, nowt. No connection online, nothing on the phone. In fact, every 5th call we got through to the Chiswick Esporta Club - what the?
