November is met with much trepidation from music fans, who log on to battle it out for Glastonbury tickets every year.
The infamous ‘ticket day’ sparks fear into every potential punter’s hearts as thousands miss out every year on their chance to visit Worthy Farm. Not every customer misses out, though, with some having been to Glastonbury multiple times.
While the Eavis family don’t announce their headliners until next year and closer to the time, there have been rumours circulating about potential acts. These include pop star Olivia Rodrigo and rock band Green Day.

But this could be the last time in a while to get onto the farm, with the festival officially taking 2026 off to ‘give the land a rest.’ Not only that, the queueing system has changed, meaning it could be easier for a regular customer to get a place.
Now, customers have to be online before the tickets go live. They will be “randomly assigned a place in the queue” once tickets are available. People who join later will automatically be placed at the back of the line.
Before, several people encouraged refreshing as computers were held outside the room and randomly allowed in. This was faced with much disappointment, but this new system should make things more straight forward.
Thus, Glastonbury fans can expect to see which number they are in the queue. This is similar to the ticketing style that Oasis used in September, despite the several angry fans due to so-called ‘dynamic pricing.’

However, according to LG gram, there could be up to 6,000,000 devices with people trying desperately to get a place on the farm next June. There are a few things fans can do, however, to increase their chances.
1. Get a good WiFi connection
A dodgy signal is a Glasto dreamers worst nightmare. Experts say you should be logged on to a secure device that is not likely to lag, run out of power or lose connection.
Adding to this, See Tickets supposedly only work well with one device per WiFi connection. Reports say if you have multiple devices per connection, you are less likely to pick up tickets.
Stick to one device – whether it be a phone, desktop, laptop or tablet.
2. Log on early
Glastonbury have encouraged punters to make sure they are logged on before the tickets go on sale. Make sure you’re on the website and ready to refresh the moment it turns 9am.
Some people say be at least 15 minutes early to ensure you’re in with a chance. Adding to this, make sure you have all of your details to hand, including your payment options and registration code, which is needed with any ticket purchase.

3. Gather your friends
Multiple devices are better than one, say experts. While you shouldn’t have more than one device in your household, friends from other households can buy your tickets, as long as they have your full name and registration.
If you form in groups of six, you have five more chances to get your hands on tickets. There’s safety in numbers, afterall.
4. Do not refresh
This particular piece of advice has been hotly contested for years. In the previous system, ticket holders said this worked.
However, the new system has created an orderly queue, which means if you refresh and are booted out, you could be sent straight to the back.
