Heads up, there site still seems to be up, they might have just disabled the queue. I just managed to secure a ticket as the site was much faster (albeit still slow) for me just now: http://tickets.mortonsevents.co.uk/
You might be able to book directly from the tickets site

My partner just managed to grab me some tickets...had a confirmation email through, but no mention of tickets. A step in the right direction at least!

Ahh yes looks like I was lucky as I'd managed to add a ticket to the basket when I previously reached end of the queue. If anyone had done so as well and can see something in your basket already, you should be able to go through to checkout without going through the queue
If you had managed to get something in your basket before but then hit a crash, check via https://tickets.mortonsevents.co.uk/ and see if your basket is still populated (top right) (and has the right number) as it will let you straight through then to pay.

Yes, for well over 1 hour. Seems to be pot luck if you get through, as I waited in about 4 queues and it came to nothing
Sure someone posted a tweet from Morton’s stating tickets will be issues next week.

I’ve just managed to get a ticket. Was in the queue and refreshed the page on the off chance. It took me straight in to the website, had remembered the ticket I’d added to basket earlier, and let me checkout and pay.
I would recommend doing this in a new tab so that if it doesn’t work for you, you don’t lose your place in the queue

Eek, you got a confirmation for a new booking and I've not received mine from almost 3 hours ago...

I've just clicked that and it's put me in the queue for the third time today...

Ahh right never mind then. They must be trying to push people away from booking whilst they fix it.

There's no sense to any of this. Hopefully you should get something soon...

Well 4 and half hours so far.
The page for Glasgow traincare centre's event in September both says that booking isn't necessary and that details on how to buy tickets will be available soon; even if it's paid, at least it shouldn't have the same issues as this one (spread out over a month, less central location, mostly not during school holidays).

Going in via the link to view basket works, shame that to add tickets of another type you end up going back into the queue.

It failed again... I put two tickets in the basket and then when I clicked the checkout button...

What link is this please? Are you saying there's a way of getting direct to the basket?

Go there, its the page for the company, not the event. Look in top right and you may have tickets in a basket. Its slow but doesn't seem to crash. My issue is when I want to add my child, I go back into the queue. If you are only getting one ticket type you may be able to get that to work.

That's the one I'm using.
It failed again ( as per three messages up ).
I'm only after two adult tickets.

Ah sorry, that link has worked for me everytime.

I do actually see 4 in the basket at top right ( not sure why since it never got as far as taking my details on either attempt which got to the basket ), but it still trips out when I click on the basket symbol.

I would keep trying that symbol as I had some success there, you can then remove excess ticket from basket in that screen without going back via the queue.
