2017 Bookings... - Timmy594 - 30-05-2016
Started early as usual. 2 computers banging away at the website and also ringing constantly. Phones to the racket busy - as usual. Website system busy - ah but, at 8:39 got logged in and after 20 minutes 2017 booked. I was bricking it at the debit card stage - it crapped out on me last year and I had to do it all again and missed the good boats. This year got the exact boats and seats I wanted. Big sigh of relief. Good luck to everyone else. I need to go and have a lie down.

Good news for you, no such luck for me I'm afraid!! This booking system is pathetic!!!
RE: 2017 Bookings... - captainsparkledotcom - 30-05-2016
Took me about 50 mins to get on, then 20 to finalise bookings, but it's done now.
Can concentrate on TT 2016 now!

Did you get through on the phone or website? I'm booking a van so I have to book over the phone been trying for an hour with no luck as yet!!
RE: 2017 Bookings... - captainsparkledotcom - 30-05-2016
Interweb, but I did try phoning as well, that was engaged all the time.

You are just going to have to keep phoning. I'll be impressed if you get through though. You will probably have 10000 competitors (maybe more) today. Be interesting to know how long it does take you. Keep at it mate.

Its the same every year, normally takes about 3 hours! Trouble is by the time I get through the sailings we want are normally gone, I've missed the Senior the last 2 years. Its as if someone is block booking the best sailing times to sell on as a package, but that wouldn't happen would it!!!

After hearing some people booked on line very early last year i.e. 2.00-3.00am!? I logged on at 2.00 this morning..... nothing! Went back to bed at 2.45 Logged on again at 6.50 with lap-top and iPad AND 2 phones with different numbers, nothing on line, kept getting timed out but eventually got a phone line at 9.23 to receive message advising "you are in a queue and will be 8 mins" 20 mins later call answered and I've got the bookings I wanted, yippeeeeee!! ............ So, stick at it and good luck everyone, hope you get what you want too.
