Every year Glastonbury Festival sells out in a matter of minutes ?
The current system requires that you register online and then when tickets go on sale you join a massive queue to buy them.
Often you get through to a multi-stage form and then due to the sheer amount of traffic the website crashes and you lose your place in the queue causing frustration for you as a customer and negative PR for the festival organizers. It's also a bit unfair for people who get tickets year after year just because of sheer luck.
A new fair ticket system will allow individuals to pre-register and add up to 5 members to their account for family/friends who they want to take with them.
The tickets will then be released from the pool on release day. Customers who are selected will receive a private email invite to claim their tickets within 48 hours before they are released back into the pool. (Yay no more queuing)
We can easily track what users were allocated tickets last year and update their likelihood of being selected again.
Additional features such as VIP/Artist tickets along with QR code and barcode scanning will also be implemented.
