Ticket tips and Tricks for 2025 festival

[czuk]

For the web developers on here, is there anything from us that could help you understand the system better?  Like waiting room join time, queue id, etc.  Obviously to be posted after the tickets have sold out so no-one can mess with your session.

You're looking to 'decrease' your score I think actually 

 

My phone 5G

Laptop House Wifi 

Girlfriends phone 5G

Girlfriends laptop house wifi 

 

We are staying in different houses tonight to increase chances on different IP addresses (mental, yes)

 

Yes sorry to clarify I was asking if work laptop (even with VPN) should be avoided given that it risks increasing the score.

My work laptop via my home IP address appears to be clean from Akamai’s pov so fingers crossed it’s ok.

If you're on a VPN with your laptop then it will have a different IP address so shouldn't affect your score -- it would be seen as a separate device.

 

There is a theory that the queue providers may give lower rank to people entering the queue from a VPN/data-centre (i.e. AWS/Azure cloud computing systems) addresses as they're more likely to be bots, but that should only affect that particular entry into the queue.

 

Personally, I am not risking more than one device/browser from my home broadband connection as I don't want my score to be reduced by having multiple devices from the same ISP-based IP address try and get into the queue. I will be using 5G on my phone in addition though.

 

No idea how any of this will work out but there's no way I'm not putting in as much effort as possible to try and secure a ticket!

Yep. 

 

Laptop on wifi and phone on 5G is my plan.

Fair points. 

 

There's no way to know. Last week I joined the waiting room on ticketmaster 15 mins early whereas a guy i work with joined 2 mins before and he ended up 17th in the queue and i was 6000 odd

Are we not expecting that with See Tickets / Glasto we won't get a queue position number, just a "progress bar"? 

Guess we'll know for sure after 6pm tonight 

[belfast]

Potentially a bizarre thing to question or suggest

 

Do you think it will ever get to the stage due to the sheer amount of bots & multiple devices people will use that it ever becomes say £10.00 to join the waiting queue or something similar?

 

Surely this eliminates further those who aren't as fussed about going as others & thousands of bots?

Hi All

I received an email from Glastonbury this week giving me my registration details, my post code showed in upper case.

I a few days later re sent my details to me , and the post code showed in lower case.

any idea if this will make a difference as unsure how to input if I get tickets?

Also not sure why there was a difference as the first email showed Mrs in front of my name, when I requested details , the Mrs was not there, just my name

 

So a little confused, if anyone can help that would be appreciated.

post code doesn't matter, can be upper or lower case with spaces or without 

 

you only need reg number and postcode, wouldn't worry about the Mrs thing long as the name is right

Is it better to stay at home and use home wifi or to stay at work and use work wifi? 

[William Mann]

I am bricking it! Good luck everyone and may the Glastonbury Gods be in your favour!

Nobody knows, I would say these are likely to be roughly equivalent, but it depends where you work!

 

Edit: it also may not depend where you work. Nobody knows! Argh!

Small clarification

[Clareno7]

Apologies if this has already been asked (a search of the thread returned nothing) but I wonder if anyone has a view on the following:

 

The festival website warns against tapping in and out of the queue tab for fear of getting booted out of the queue. Like most others, we cut and paste our data into the booking page, so my questions is, will a C&P from a spreadsheet count as tapping in and out and secondly, if I do manage to reach the booking page, could I still be booted out for tapping in and out?

 

Appreciate there are some unknowns but your thoughts would be great 🙏🏽

You won't need to copy and paste when you're in the queue - only when you get through (at which point it should be fine).  In truth, I'm not sure I believe that instruction anyway as I'm pretty sure Queue-It is capable of handling you full on closing your browser, or even restarting your machine and still letting you return to same slot in queue with the way it works your cookies.  I'd not advocate testing that theory though! 😄

when accessing the see ticket page, my o2 phone currently being blocked 'unusual traffic detected on address 82.132.x.x'

my vodafone phone and broadband ok.

[Gnomicide]

The bastion of facts, truth and 100% reliable rumours, The Metro, reckons 6 million people trying tonight.

 

If there are 22,000 coach tickets up for grabs, that's a 0.4% chance of getting one.

Think this is your phone being the issue for whatever reason

Agreed. “Here’s how” is doing some seriously heavy lifting.

Thanks. this is an android and I'm using chrome.

Managed to fix it in a slight unorthodox way, here's what I tried. 

I tried flight mode for 10mins, and then re-enabled.  I picked up a new IP address, but in the same range. still got blocked.

I have completed a restart, cleared cookies, again new IP address but in same range. still got same issue with chrome

I tried flight mode again, this time got a new ip address with in a different subnet range, but still got same blocked issue with chrome.

I've now installed firefox, and I can now access the page.

Six million,ah well might as well not try😉😉😊😊

Though there will me a lot more trying for tickets than actually wanting them due to most folk having friends and relatives helping. But six million? Utter pish. 

[danmarks]

I currently get the ' retrieve registration information' when i try the ticket link. Is this normal?
