Yeh...I was initially gutted by the news, but actually I haven't managed to get a punter's ticket since 2017, despite software engineer husband, vpns, even one year going in to his office to use their superfast broadband. Ultimately I just stopped having a big syndicate to try for me after 2017 and that's really limited me (notably, I have never got through to get my own tickets - even in 2008 when it didn't sell out, a friend 'got in' first so got them for me). I've become kind of convinced the universe/Glasto gods/fate etc don't want me to have a ticket - and now feel resigned that the same luck will apply to the queue. Which is patently nonsense, maybe this change will actually give me a better chance. After all, surely I couldn't have worse luck?
True, but the festival will at least to be able to say they did something to try and create a more even playing field. I’ll stick to this place and ignore those cess pits
