StoneCircle Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 (edited) 1 hour ago, will.b2003 said: Hey, It’s my mum’s 60th birthday next year and I really want to take her to Glastonbury. I’ve never tried before but I know it’s so hard to get tickets. I saw a video online saying it’s best to find a group of 6 so that you can all get tickets. Do you know anyone who I could group with to form a group of 6 where we all try and get tickets for ourselves and each other please? 🙂 Please message me if you can help as well as any other tips because I’m desperate to get the tickets. @will.b2003 I have merged your post into an existing thread, please see a link to the thread below and one with Ticket Tips.

prestonmanc Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Now that ticket details have been released... We do still have some space in our ticket group for new members. If you've read this thread, you'll have heard from a few people what this involves, but in essence: You're committing to joining with a group of internet strangers (mainly from this site) to form a group of 6, with the commitment of each buying tickets for the whole collective if you're the one who gets through (main sale means 6 x £75 + £10 booking fee). Moreover, if someone else manages to sort your ticket, the group mentality is that you then invest your effort into trying to secure another group of 6 theirs (because Glastonbury karma). If you're happy buying tickets in this way, willing to join a WhatsApp to stay up to date on the day, and you're the kind of person who will join the resale to try for some other randoms (even though you got your own ticket months ago), then DM me and I'll send you the full details and how to get involved. Groups like this won't guarantee you success, but they will mean more people trying on your behalf (especially if you're solo or in a smaller group). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to update on this, we now just have room for *individuals and pairs* to fill the gaps and make up buying groups of 6. If that's you and you want to join a collective effort to help each other secure tickets, DM me. If you're in a larger group, I'm afraid we're at capacity as things stand.

Essentially yes, but we've currently got lots of pre-existing groups of 4-5 that aren't going to be able to combine into 6s however the coach sale works out (and relatively few trying for the coach sale in any case). If we add a few more individuals and pairs, it will be more feasible to group everyone into neat 6s, both pre and post coach (and then 4s for the resale! 😆) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roserougeflower Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 (edited) We're a group of friends desperate to go to the festival this year and would like to maximise our chances of getting tickets by becoming part of a much larger network of groups. We'll happily work extremely hard until the entirety of your group has tickets. If you feel you could use the extra ticket-buying power and have the space for an extra group, then please let me know!

Newfestie1 Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 Hi looking to get involved in a group for 2025, have never been and only going with a friend so would make much better sense for us to be linked up. Let me know how I can get involved / help with an existing etc. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been part of ticket groups for the last few years (mainly close friends) but with them all getting married and having children this year, they have dropped out of next year If you do have space, I know what is required on ticket day, as I have been through the process several times Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinn Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 Me and my mate were hoping to join a group, but last week the others decided not to try for tickets for next year. So, if there are still people looking for a group, send me a DM! We’re trying for coach tickets on Thursday as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a lot of people either trying themselves, helping others in the group or roping in friends and family, so a lot of devices between us. Most reported two bars and nothing else throughout (me included across 3 devices). Two of our groups were successful. One was on iPad, not sure about the other. A few more saw progress or even got to the ticket page in one case but tickets were all allocated. Anecdotally, we had a bit more success than last year’s coach sale, but that might just be random chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
