You should assume there is just one seat left.

I had the same issue, the ‘trick’ I used was book one ticket with my account and the other with my wife’s (had two seperate browsers opened at once).

Thanks aidan, I'm thinking about trying the trick of booking with two different accounts on two different laptops/browser windows at the same time... Just nervous about booking one, then getting an error message at checkout for the other one...saying 'something went wrong, seat is no longer available, etc'. Don't really want to purchase a J seat

Ok here is how todo it since your are using 2 laptops. Put both laptops in ‘private’ browsing. Then go through each laptop step by step. Then you can hit confirm on both at the same time.

Other thing you can do is if you know someone that is a gold or higher to check what availability they see. Then you can confirm if the limitation is status..

How does this help if the inventory (for your given status level or altogether) is exhausted by the first confirm to hit the database?

This is based on my scenario which was as a bronze only 1 ticket would be released per bronze member, but not 2. I made sure I could get to the confirm page on with each membership.

My point is that you have no idea if this will work until you actually buy a seat, since the inventory will display until someone actually buys it. So getting to the confirm page doesn't tell you anything. As I said, I've been through the confirm page before and still failed.

Buying a ticket consecutively on two laptops has got to be the dumbest idea ever.

You can do it on two browser screens as said before worked for me both got to the confirm screen. You obviously haven’t tried and understand web pages mr analogue.

Cool sorry misread the failed part... Apart from calling to check what can be booked over the phone or getting someone with higher status to book (assuming it’s a status issue) then I personally can’t think of any other options..

So anyway, I managed to sit down with a friend today who is platinum, and we logged in with his account, and it wouldn't be let him book 2 seats either. That seems to give more weight to the possibility that there really is only one ticket on sale... Not sure that I'm willing to risk it. I might just need to settle for premium economy instead

Yep that is a safe bet and glad you got to the bottom of this.
