I’m unsuccesfully trying to get on to [http://www.readingfestival.com](http://www.readingfestival.com) to buy tickets, but, as expected, the servers being overwhelmed by hordes of ticket seekers and I simply can’t get the page to load.

Anyone know of any ways to get ahead of the rest when trying to a view a page under heavy server load?
