Experts have revealed how Glastonbury fans can improve their odds of bagging tickets as festivalgoers await the event’s general sale today.
The music extravaganza on Worthy Farm, Somerset, lasts five days and boasts performances from top global and national artists.
But after organiser Emily Eavis confirmed 2026 will be a fallow year to allow the farm’s land to recover, the 2025 event could be revellers’ last chance to grab a ticket for the next few years.
Expert Nick Drewe, co-founder of discount platform Wethrift, has given his top tips on increasing your chance of getting a ticket today.
Speaking to the Metro, he advised being ‘online and set up 15 minutes before the official sale time’ and to ‘optimise internet connection’.
To increase your odds of making it through the long queue of festivalgoers, the Glastonbury website urges you to avoid refreshing the page.
‘With the queue-based system, refreshing can actually push you further back, so you’ll need to be patient,’ Mr Drewe explained.

Meanwhile, the website also advises customers not to use multiple tabs when in the queue as this could be picked up as ‘suspicious behaviour’.
Other tactics include coordinating with your friends, having payment details on hand, and using a stable internet connection.
It comes as Glastonbury 2025 coach tickets sold out in just 32 minutes this week – as frustrated festival fans lashed out at the new queuing format.
Primed with multiple devices and spreadsheets at the ready, fans battled it out in what was billed as one of the most competitive tickets sales to date, after organisers announced a dramatic shake-up by implementing a queue.
Organisers confirmed that coach tickets sold out in 32 minutes. ‘The Glastonbury 2025 tickets + coach travel which were on sale this evening have now all been sold,’ the official Glastonbury X account said. ‘Our thanks to everyone who bought one.’
