Twenty four minutes.
Well after melting the server, it took only 24 minutes to sell out. Given that most people were a little panicky and concentrating on securing an entry, should you wish to go back and order yourself a T shirt, then feel free at some point.
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: Twenty four minutes.
Out of interest, what was the deal with the "page not found" error?
Could you not get it uploaded?
Edit - Ahh, saw it in the other thread. lol

Re: Twenty four minutes.
Not sure if I’m in. Cath was entering for me as I’m away. She got to the PayPal page but I don’t think she got the confirmation email.
Might have to go on the reserve list

Bob... if Cath is in but you're not then I'm happy to give my ticket (at 500% inflation obviously*) and go on the reserve list...

Re: Twenty four minutes.
Neither of us have tickets - I don't think you can select more than one at once.
No problem, I'll sit on the reserves bench

he'll have got a ticket I suppose. I thought about it afterwards that Cath would have put 2 tickets in the basket and not one at a time...

Sorry you didn't get in but AFAIK you can select 2 tickets in one go... 2 will be round the corner just waiting to be nabbed

Re: Twenty four minutes.
Like Glastonbury now... just with less smelly participants 

Re: Twenty four minutes.
If there hadn't been server problems it would likely have sold out in 2.4 minutes!
