Hiya, I'm gonna try to get a ticket for my friend using his registration details. I'm just wondering will that be possible or will we both get booted out for being bots? I only got tickets once before and I'm hazy on how the actual process worked. Thanks all

That's fine to help a friend. Have a read of this as the actual process has changed this year - https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/news/2025-ticket-sale-faq/

It's not like the Oasis sale.

Thank god for that, I don't think I could handle another round of that shite

[belfast]

In reality Oasis was always going to a disaster. Every single tom, d*ck & harry wants a ticket to that just as their mate says they were cool back in the day.

 

I love Oasis and always have/probably will but their fanbase would make me not want to go & in fact didn't try for tickets at all as it was always going to end up like that.

 

Full of morons into a couple tracks wearing stone island & acting the 'hardest' on the night of the show(s) all the while knowing very little music by the band they've been so desperate to see.

 

Also the amount of people that wouldve been jumping into the Oasis queue just to see what its like as its been sought after for so many years woudlve crammed this alone. Thankfully Glastonbury doesnt allow this with the reg sign up.

Mate if you think the casual fans are bad, the actual fans are far worse!

Fired up an old laptop - not going to use it for anything other than whatsapp during the sale. 

It hasn't been used since last year's sale. Chrome (an old version) opened up the old booking URL - the laptop's clock was wrong (date was set to January!)...  and the Queue it stuck a ban...  only problem was this is on my main wifi! 

 

Left the See Tickets site alone for a nervous hour and thankfully it's still connecting on my main laptop.

Question … if the Seetickets page is up now ( as an example) will the page just change itself when the waiting room opens, or does that require a refresh?

This is what terrifies me about the new system.  The thought that some random thing you do could ban your whole IP and you don’t even get near the queue.  

The (minimal) tests I’ve done seem to suggest my IP is ok.. let’s hope it stays that way!

I thought similar about Liam at Knebworth but it wasn't like that at all. Great crowd, respectful and there for a great time.

it will change itself and tell you you're in a queue. The 'waiting room' is just the main seetickets page and you need do nothing more than have that page open at 6

The Seetickets page will (should) change at 6pm to say you are in the queue. There is no specific page that will say waiting room. You just need to be on the seetickets page before 6 and you're good.

So i could lurk now on the registration check page?

You can if you've nothing better to do. It won't improve your chances though. You'll still have the same chance as somebody that logs on at 17:59

[danmarks]

Yeah i get the no advantage thing. Just thought it would be a different page

[belfast]

am like a shi*ting dog

Nobody knows 100% but you should be fine with just 2 devices. There's people all over the country using different devices on the same network, coffee shops, shared houses, student halls etc. 

[MrZigster]

So when can we join thelobby then?

 

Presuming the link is Glastonbury.seetickets.com?

There was an Akamai fingerprint test link somewhere in this thread.. and just going to the see tickets page.. making sure that loads.

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

How do I check my Akamai?

I mean I'm not going to tell you that it definitely is but I would be very very surprised if it flagged up 2 devices.
