Reviving a family tradition

We have not been able to do this for several years because of covid.
Family member sit down with their internet linked devises on a specified Sunday morning before nine o'clock and attempt to get tickets for Glastonbury.
This year there were eight of us, in three different locations on 12 machines poised and ready to go.
Ten minutes went by with nothing but then suddenly one of us got through. Registration details keyed in, credit card numbers given and then just a throbber. 
What is a throbber (I had to look it up too)? Also known as the "spinning wait cursor" or "spinning Beach ball", spinning wheel of death or ferris wheel of death it is what happens when the computer is thinking about it. 
Well the throbber throbbed until we got a "timed out" message. No tickets and also no further links into the Seeticket page to attempt to buy again. 
Seetickets announced there was a problem with their page, apologised and asked people to keep trying. This meant our usual 30 to 40 minutes of "fun" extended to over an hour this year, still totally unsuccessful. We usually get depressed at our failure but this time we can add great frustration as well.
People claim to go every year. Despite all our efforts we have not got tickets since 2015.
Never mind its good to do things as a family and there is always next year. We might be looking for more chaps to join our gang then if you want to volunteer
