Ticket tips and Tricks for 2025 festival

[Crazyfool01]

that registration figure quoted was 10 years worth of registrations wasnt it ? or up to

I really hope they have new and up to date bypass checking.... 

Queue-it used to be pretty easy to bypass a few years ago from what I recall. I hope they at least take action and ban people that queue skip.

 

I have a bad feeling haha!

I got my first bout of T-Day nerves this morning.  Decided to read through this thread for research purposes and hopefully to calm me down a bit.  Now I'm utterly shitting myself.

 

Anecdotally, the only evidence that seems to support them not going for a queue system is that they haven't overtly said so.  In all honesty, I don't think they would make an official announcement regarding any changes to the ticket system, as this would just invite outrage and hassle before the event.  Easier to just let it play out, sell all the tickets and then deflect any negative commentary afterwards by claiming it was fair and sold out the same as any other year.

Yes, the t day nerves are really building. Despite all the talk of queue systems, by pass schemes etc I’ll just stick to my usual routine. Two devices, PC wired directly to router and I pad refreshing, a phone handy to verify bank payments if lucky enough.

Any research or tips you want to share on that?

its old news and has been fixed

 

it used to be that the queue code ran in the browser, so in theory you could just edit the local page on the fly to pass you through.

 

the code now runs on the ticket servers, you get assigned a queue id, and the server counts down the time until you can get in, so that exploit no longer works.

Not really. There's a bunch of bots that touts used to use and scripts to force you up places in the queue.

 

They will be on top of most of it these days but I wouldn't be surprised if there's bots that could bypass the checks. 

 

The saving grace is that you need registrations for glasto to buy each ticket so a bot to buy 100s of tickets is not going to be possible

I don't think it confirms anything at present tbf....other than that they have the ability to simply switch it on if they see fit....or that it may automatically kick in under a pre-determined scenario.

f**k.

If i'm understanding this correctly, the queue method ultimately eliminates the benefit of grouping up. I wonder if the Festival have considered that in their thinking?

How? Surely it's better chances with 6 people in the queue working as a team than 6 people in the queue individually?

Multiple groups.

 

You're really aggressive when you post. Anyone mentioned that before?
