Photos and videos only allowed during the first five minutes, after that you’re liable to be thrown out - I like this policy! Going to resist watching any footage though. I’m setting my new turntable up today, and I have guaranteed seating in the comfort of my own home on 29th.

For Glasgow, the link took me to a website that was unavailable, I kept trying until maybe 11:11 then magically it worked and I got straight in (no queue) and got the tickets. Sorry to those that had a much more problematic experience and unsuccessful outcome.

If you want to go a step further, you can work out what the real link is by opening devtools then throttling your network access. You can find out what it is before it redirects to the Boc site.

So for example, my link was actually this:
https://boardsofcanada.ffm.to/london-yg ... qtN.Rwheqg
How would you access the link to copy before clicking the hyperlink from inside the email?

Okay, this is the link you need for New York and LA: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/infernosessions/

It may just give you that little advantage.

This makes no sense. I was in at 11:02 and it told me to go to a waiting list. I didnt even get put back into a queue. I was literally the first person and it said no tickets were available. I refreshed many times, never saw a purchase. This whole thing was actually insane. There is no logic to it, just rage and saddness. Not worth thinking about. It was pure luck.

That's wild. Yeah the ticket tailor website was unavailable "contact the organiser" and then was timing out, until 11:11 like I say. Inexplicable.

Thank you. Entered my code, got "Congratulations! Your code was accepted. New ticket types have been unlocked below." and now have a select tickets countdown. Do you know if I need to refresh or will the page automatically refresh after the countdown?

Someone asked about timings earlier, I was on the link at 11 on the dot, and getting "the event at this link is not live" for about a minute, then a couple of minutes of cloud flare errors, then in at about 150 in the queue which slowly ticked down to about 130 then went to a "enter your email to get notified if more tickets become available" screen.

The only time I've won this kind of race is with Kate Bush and Glastonbury tickets where I've had a laptop and a couple of phones on different networks and just picked the one that got in, just couldn't be bothered with this tbh. If it had been a live gig, sure

I don't get it, I was 11 on the dot, queue position 1. Got the same thing? I swear we were all just simply cursed I am afraid. Or, since the album is literally hell. Maybe we've been spared? Lets see it like that. Yeah, we've been raptured!

Gah having this link in advance would have been an advantage for sure.

It takes you ahead of most other people in the process.

So you’d recommend having this link open ahead of time instead of clicking the hyperlink from email, and then entering access code after 11?

Yes. Considering that even I can already get this far in the NY ticket purchase process: https://x0.at/Fxb0.png

That's further than I could get in the London process at 11am here using the link from the email.

That's what happened to me and I chucked it at 11:07, but my wife persevered. It must have been 11:10/11:11 when she accessed it because it took a couple of minutes to input all the data and the confirmation email came at 11:13.

As soon as the waiting list appeared, I gave up. Now I wish I'd thought to keep trying!

what a journey for my peers.
from a 'self-knowledge' perspective I am fortunate to live too far away (approx five and one-half hours) from my nearest "session" (The Big Apple), have a two-year-old, and be financially fricked right now, be'cause the process'of trying to get in'to this would'have likely ruined my day i.e. I am an obsessive person and would have Cloudflared myself into some serious, literal, nail- and cuticilebiting.
