Did anybody tell Stuweb how manic "Entry-Sunday" is? We can normally crash paypal, how are they going to cope...

Has anyone successfully entered? If none of us can get on then it surely can't be sold out! 🙂

Well I've managed to put a payment through via Worldpay, eventually, so I *think* I might possibly have got an entry.

Not the most user-friendly experience, that website...

Who ever said this was the best way of entering instead of a pre-entered ballot is a complete A-hole!!

My laptop went out the window after 1000 refreshes!!

What a total bag of bollox.

Daz, I've either got no tickets or 6, I need 3. i managed to put payment through and got a reference number, but it didn't direct me back to Stuweb so i tried again. Same result but different ref

Well, I have two World Pay confirmations, but only one rider confirmation. The old way was more efficient!

I managed to get as far as a world pay confirmation but the instructions suggest it's only confirmed when it returns you to the site, which it didn't. It's hard to tell whether to start again or not.

They just said on Twitter that if you have a Worldpay receipt you have an entry.

i got an entry in the basket, well 2 actually (didn't need 2!) but now it won't go any further...

Just keep hitting F5 and you'll get there eventually!

According to Dyfi events twitter feed

To those entering the #DyfiEnduro . If you have your WorldPay receipt you don't need to enter again. Your place is secure.

At one point I ended up with a basket with about 7 random people in it. Tried again (lots) and have now managed to get as far as a Worldpay receipt.

If this was supposed to add the experience, add to the excitement of whether you get in or not, it totally failed for me.

It has been the most frustrating 38 mins of my life.

In fact it has put me off the event completely, what a waste of time.

Now closed.

I reckon there is a long queue to process. Wouldn't like to be last one!!. Took 4 minutes last year 42 this year. And this is a better system?

I'm in. That was worse than entering the Strathpuffer! I knew as soon as I read that they had a new system that it wasn't going to work. Total ridiculous, in this day and age, blah blah!

It does put you off. Maybe that's the whole point?

To be honest any website that calls itself 'Stuweb' suggest it's been built by a 16 year old in his bedroom. Seeing as it's a php site that's probably not far from the truth 🙂

Hang in there. Entry list keeps growing I had the blue circle for ages then took 3 or 4 refreshes of payment to get it thru.

I'm in after constant refreshes on the laptop & kindle, the kindle won ... WHAT a f'kin nightmare though, I'd rather go & buy a ticket from somewhere than have to put up with this again !

Very poor system, just the sort of thing that will damage the reputation of the event..and got charged an extra 1.50 of the services of 'stuweb' I suggest Dyfi Events has a discussion with them about service..

Something tells me this will be the only time stuweb is used for the Dyfi. Quite frankly if they use it next year I'm not bothering. Annoying really seeing as other events seem to sort it out ok. The strathpuffer solo entries sell out in 2 minutes and I never got any server crashes with that.

From facebook:
"Stuweb have had to pause entries, the handback from Worldpay has slowed to a crawl. They will re-open ASAP. Again we are very sorry but its simply a matter of site traffic and massive over subscription."

Seems like they have just put entries on hold. Last year there were lots of people pretty much giving away their entries in the weeks before the event. Keep an eye on here and their facebook page if you dont get in

It seems to be open again. At the least they seem to have taken my money.

Edit: all done in one hour twenty minutes!

Its back open, I just got straight through to entry. First page is a bit odd, you click enter and it looks like nothing has happened but it has added it to the the basket on the top right of the page

Well I've ended up with two Worldpay receipts and one entry confirmation. So I'll wait for the dust to settle and see tomorrow if I've now got a spare or paid for someone else's as well.

Well I've got 2 worldpay receipts, each for 3 entries, and no names on the list. I emailed Stuweb and got an email back from Stuart himself, as long as I've a worldpay receipt my names will be on the list by tomorrow lunchtime. Here's hoping! If I get 3 places confirmed, I'll probably have another 3 to either return or offer on here.

I got to miss out on the entry scrum this year as a friend that has regularly taken part managed to pluck the first May bank holiday weekend out of a whole year of weekends for his wedding.
