ticket tips and tricks Glastonbury 2024 resales

[scatteredscreens]

I'm by no means an expert but here are my general tips:

- Quadruple check all Registration numbers and make sure you're not duplicating your reg in multiple groups. You can ruin someone else's ticket day if they get chucked out because you got in with a different group. Also if everyone in your group checks multiple times, if it comes to ticket day and someone has provided a wrong reg, unless they're with you I would carry on without them - it sounds harsh but better 5 of you go than none of you go.

- Use every device you have and refresh them all, use a VPN or Mobile Data if you have it to mix up where the requests are coming from

- Use keyboard shortcuts/excel spreadsheets for copy / pasting info. Keyboard shortcut a term like reg1 to be turned into a reg to speed things up. Use a spreadsheet on Google sheets to use for your group so everyone has the same place to take details from. Much better than panicking through a group chat to find registrations/post codes

- Do Coach and General sale

- Don't stop until Emily Eavis tweets, persistence is key

- Start refreshing 15 mins before

Not sure how strong demand will be from my side this year. Might just be Mrs J and myself, if so I'm happy to buddy up with others.

Yes please

A few years ago I managed to secure tickets on a 3G phone in a Bournemouth hotel whilst Mrs J ran the half, so don't despair.

A mate of mine got resale tickets in 2016 whilst on holiday in South America , then another year (2017 I think) another mate got resale tickets whilst in a chalet with poor 3G in the Swiss Alps.

Just before Liam Gallagher in 2019 I was chatting to some girls at one of the benches outside the Mandela bar whilst waiting for a mate and they said they got their tickets when a mate of theirs got through in an airport whilst waiting to fly home from holiday.

I really do think its just pot luck when you get through although being organised with spreadsheets, payment prepared etc does help with that side of things.

Be as organised as possible.

Make sure everyone is using the same information source. 

Maximum effort.

Ultimately it's about lucky timing.

It’s got to be. in October 2019 me and mrs c had both work laptops, 2 iPads and 2 iPhones all on our virgin 350 mb per sec Wi-Fi. Eventually I turned the Wi-Fi off on one of the phones to 4g so you can obviously guess which one got through…

I'd say double check deets as others have said (we had an incident in 2019 where someone added a slightly incorrect postcode, then was uncontactable because they were trying for tickets too, so a number of people had to wait until the 2022 resale!).

The only other thing that's worked for me is logging into my work VPN from home.  Idk if it's because they have superfast business internet, or some other factor, but that's worked for me so far.

Using different connections ie 1 phone on 4g, another on its 4g with a different carrier then a laptop on wifi i think is important if i had to guess.

nobody really knows but diversifying your setup cannot hurt

What difference does this actually make?

I fail to see & have never understood this methodology!

They will have their own instance so It should increase your chances, its like having 4 people trying for tickets instead of just 1

This thread has got me twitching.

It's well above my head but I don't fathom why that's any different than multiple tabs open in say chrome?

[gooner1990]

@JoeyT Back in again after your post festival meltdown? 😄

multiple tabs in one browser confuses the system , I'am only going off what others have said so I may be wrong ?

Back in the game!

Quite relaxed about it all to be honest. I think I've reached the point now where although I'm going to be aiming to get a ticket it won't completely break me if I miss out like it would have done previously.

Chances are I'll probably come down on the Thursday next time instead of the usual Tuesday morning and I'll bring the little one for the day now she's old enough to appreciate the Kidzfield so behave myself whilst she's there and then let the handbrake off when she leaves on the Thurs evening.

Unless there's just one of you and 4 devices. Manual F5 on one, and auto refresh running at 2 second intervals on the other 3....noting that each device will be separately connected on it's own IP using 2 x 4G hotspots, 1 x home broadband and 1 x work VPN.
