November 17th 2024.
As the year 2025 approaches, music lovers all around the world are eagerly waiting for the tickets to the highly-anticipated Glastonbury festival to go on sale. After enduring long queues for other major concerts such as the Eras Tour and Oasis, fans are now gearing up for Glastonbury.
Although the headliners for the festival have not been announced yet, speculations are already running wild with names like Olivia Rodrigo and Green Day being thrown into the mix. This year, the organizers of Glastonbury have made a big change to their ticketing system in the hopes of making it a smoother process for everyone.
Instead of constantly refreshing the page and anxiously waiting to get through, fans will now be placed in a virtual queue and randomly assigned a position. However, according to LG gram, there could be up to 6 million devices competing for tickets, with many of us using our phones, tablets, and computers to increase our chances.
In fact, a recent study suggests that around 750,000 people may even call in sick from work just to be at home for Thursday's coach sale kick-off. With such a high demand for tickets, it's no wonder that the festival has become a hot topic of discussion.
The historic festival saw its tickets go on sale on Thursday, November 14 at 6pm for coaches, followed by the general sale on Sunday, November 17 at 9am. Last year, an estimated 2.5 million people tried to secure tickets for Glastonbury - that's almost the entire population of Greater Manchester all vying for a spot on the website.
With only 135,000 tickets available, it's no surprise that fans are looking for any advantage they can get to improve their chances of attending. Here are some expert tips from Nick Drewe, co-founder of discount platform Wethrift, to help increase your chances of getting a ticket for Glastonbury 2025.
First and foremost, it's important to be ahead of time. Nick recommends logging in at least 15 minutes before the official sale time to ensure you are ready to go when the tickets are released. This may seem like a simple step, but it can make all the difference.
It's also crucial to optimize your internet connection. Dodgy connections can be the enemy of a ticket queue, so it's best to use a wired connection if possible. Nick advises avoiding any other internet activity during the ticket purchase process, as it can slow down your connection and potentially cost you a ticket.
If you're unable to use a wired connection, it's important to find a quiet spot with a more reliable connection. Nick suggests heading to your office or a co-working space with excellent internet connectivity, as there will be fewer people using the network on the day of the sale.
Having multiple devices can be both a help and a hindrance when trying to get tickets. While it may increase your chances, it's important to use them wisely. Nick advises against using multiple tabs on one device, as it may flag you for unusual activity and result in losing your place in the queue. Instead, he recommends coordinating with friends and assigning one person as the designated purchaser to streamline the process.
It's also essential to avoid refreshing the page. With the new queue-based system, refreshing can actually push you further back in the line. So once you've secured your spot, trust that your place is secure and be patient.
When it comes to payment, it's important to have your details ready beforehand. Whether it's saving your payment information into an autofill option or having them written down, delays in payment could cause your transaction to time out. So make sure you're prepared to enter your details quickly and efficiently.
With these tips in mind, we wish you the best of luck in securing your tickets for Glastonbury 2025. And for those who are successful, we can't wait to see you at Worthy Farm! But for now, let's all keep our fingers crossed and hope that the odds are in our favor.
