Ticket tips and Tricks for 2025 festival

[clasher]

100% success rate in our group. Lots of "access denied" pages though, just kept refreshing and going back and forth and eventually I got in. Managed to get the last of our three groups when the "all tickets allocated" was already up, battling the access denied thingy, and just seconds before the sold out message too. Amazing.

We got to 24ish bars before it sold out on 4g. Laptop stuck on 2 bars, our other phone on 5 bars.

[Gommy]

Got through got access denied and then got all tickets allocated.

A mate got in and then got his IP blocked... and then i got in 6 mins before the sold out, but it took me to the "look up existing order" page and then couldn't find my order (seeing as I don't have one). I couldn't get it to take me to the actual booking page. Then it sold out.

Going to be a lot more bucket list coke-sniffing bugaloos going who will all be collectively chasing any heritage name that doesn't play the Pyramid in an edgy scheduling c*ck-up. That and the worse rain for decades.

Well in to those who got tickets! Unfortunately wasn't one of the lucky ones, so it will most likely be RW for 2025.

Sigh 😞

10 of us trying. One person got about half way. The rest no progress from 2. Sad times. 

 

 

I got about 80% of the way then it just stopped moving 5 mins before it said sold out 

[Padgey]

No good with our group, 7 trying and only 1 got half way with the progress bar.  Resale in April it is then!

[TheBoz]

Congrats everyone who was successful! See the rest of you in the resale

Hello! One of my friends messaged me saying I had a ticket, but I'm yet to receive a confirmation email. Anyone else in the same boat? I'm on tenterhooks.

I'm the lead booker and haven't received anything yet

This happened to a friend of mine too.  Tried everything but it had obviously taken her to the wrong page for some strange reason

[buddiepaul]

Nothing from our lot.  1 browser got to half way out of around 20 devices

We didn’t manage to get tickets sadly. Had one of our groups get tickets, they have never been before despite trying for years so guess the new system benefitted them. Congrats to those that got tickets

So, do you think the organisers will view this new process as a success then? I can't see any reason they'd be unhappy with it really. Queue handled the traffic, and tickets were all sold out sharpish, so wasn't like the Oasis sale with people spending 4-5 hours in a queue and coming away with tickets. Reckon this will be the process going forward. 

[mandana]

so frustrating but very happy for those who got in!

 

[Ryan1984]

Seemed to go very quick this year? Nobody I know was lucky enough to get in but congrats to those who did. No issues with the new system, despite it being boring not having to hit F5. Just wish they added a queue number?

 

I’m out now but every year on here, people claim to get tickets well after the Sold Out message so maybe keep trying?

I had this too, kept going back and trying again, then trying refresh, after about 6 goes it worked.

 

Also found out that you can go back after completing an order and place a new one! - Wonder how many people found that?

Managed 22 bars on my laptop to make for painful viewing as they crept up but knew it was too little too late looking at the time. Of course I am gonna say that I preferred the old way as I felt I was at least doing something and , as others have said, last year I got after almost half an hour or persistent refreshing and despite a few crashes between registration and payment. But, equally, congrats to all who got in this window.

I'm sorry but I'm not buying the 'it doesn't reward dedicated people' line. Everyone is dedicated in their own ways and this festival isn't for the same 150k every single year. Nobody outside of the Eavis family has the god given right to be there every single year.

 

Glastonbury is one of the best things about this country and is a cultural behemoth. Everyone deserves to experience it at least once.

None of my group got any. One got close but the sold out notice came just when he did. 

 

Well done to all those that got them. I'm quite hopeful that lots of new people will get to experience this amazing festival next year. Glastonbury should be for all not the same 150k every year. 

None of us got lucky this year. Like you, I hope there's a lot of first timers who discover what a great festival it is and find the love for it we all have.

Ahh that's reassuring. I'm holding off any celebrations of success until I see it in writing. 

[sparkyswitch]

Me and my wife both managed to get our groups tickets (first time since 2014 of getting our own tickets)

Mobile phones seem the way to go, our broadband connections did nothing.

Yep. If they’re sensible they’ll add a page where you have to input reg details before being admitted to the queue. But otherwise this is the way forward.

Missed out again today, I think my Glasto luck has run out as missed out the last two times as well having been every other year since 2005. I think am resigned to not ever going again, I didnt hold out much hope this t day either. Ticket system seemed to work OK and didnt get blank screen at all. Was always stuck on 2 bars. I think I prefer always being on 2 bars rather than seeing the bars move and teasing me that I was getting closer to the front of the queue to then miss out! Congrats to all who bagged golden tickets this morning!

Luckily got tickets in the coach sale on Thursday so was just trying for friends today. The window which got the furthest this morning was the one which i opened AFTER 9am. It got to about three quarters.
