So after reading all this there is no tips or tricks except logging onto page before 9am and hoping for the best?

 

Put a pair of underpants on your head, a pencil up each nostril and say "Wibble" at the very moment enter glastonbury.seetickets.com

That will 'guarantee' you a position in the queue.

If this doesn't work then you had better run for the hills.

Yes wasn’t the 2012 fallow year chosen because of too many portaloos being needed for the London Olympics?

 

Would be annoying if they take a fallow next year and then have to take another one due to the euros.

 

So hopefully they’re either confident that the portaloo situation can be worked around, or they scrap the 2026 fallow year and do 2028 instead. 

 

Wrong thread, but Portaloo was the term the media used to get attention, when the issue was more widely around resources generally (which would include Portaloos, but also Trackway, Fencing, Security Guards, Generators, etc).

 

The festival will be well aware of what major events are taking place so presumably they've considered this. Like most people I don't want to say it out loud, but I suspect other more local issues have led to this timing.

As long as you read it properly then it will work 😉

Another way to guarantee a torturous ticket. You'll need chips.

Oh, bizarre turn of events. The wife is now coming, and wants to bring our (will be) 9 year old daughter too assuming tomorrow is a success.

Yes, I’d agree

Interesting choice of words, anyone able to fill me in? (By PM if it’s not something you want to say publicly)

So what's the general consensus on risk of using multiple browsers/devices on the same IP?

The Queue ID is assigned when you join the waiting room, but your place in the queue is assigned when it starts.

Yes, this.  As soon as you join the waiting room you get a "QueueID" at the bottom of the window.  This QueueID is then given a random placing when it starts.

Now you just need another bizarre turn of events to get you to Bearded too.

do you believe it is random or is there a weighting given based on the factors described in that big informative post regarding fingerprints etc? Cause my impression is it's pretty lax and more queue positions will be fine as long as you don't take the piss (even on the same IP)

N00b question: I am gonna try for people in the UK as well tomorrow. Do all the postal codes require a space in between, or can each of them be entered without a space in them?

doesn't matter, nor does capital letters

Musing how the system now operates, Queue-IT could record the IP addresses and unique user identifiers it allows through to See each year and give these a lower priority (higher queue number) the following festival. It could even bar them from ever getting through 😮

IP addresses are mostly dynamic and change

I did see somewhere that someone said you could see what your queue position was. But I guess this isn’t true and all you can see is the queue ID which doesn’t tell us anything?

You can also see, if you delve deep enough, a field called "estimated time of arrival on site" - but it appears this is likely to be wildly inaccurate and so not much help.

Oh right. I’d didn’t try on Thursday night so still waiting to see what I’m letting myself in for tomorrow morning 🤣
