— Glastonbury Festival (@glastonbury) November 17, 2024 Ahead of next year’s edition, Glastonbury has introduced a new queuing system for tickets , meaning that rather than needing to keep refreshing to access the booking page, everyone on the page was randomly assigned a place in a queue once sales began. Glastonbury bosses confirmed on the festival’s website : “Anyone who logs on once the sale has started will automatically be added to the back of the queue, so it’s important to make sure you are online ready at least a few minutes before the sale opens.” As with the coach sale, the reaction to the queuing system has been mixed.
Some have said they prefer the adrenaline of refreshing the page every five seconds as was the case in previous years – “the refresh button for glastonbury tickets was so much better cause at least I could feel like I was doing something, going to nod off staring at two green bars all morning,” one X/Twitter user wrote. Others were disorientated by the lack of queuing numbers, as is used in the Ticketmaster sale. “Begging #Glastonbury to add queue numbers so I know that I’m two millionth and can get on my with my day of sulking,” another X/Twitter user wrote.
Even Specsavers chimed in, describing the two bars on their social media channels as “the worst eye test in the world”. The worst eye test in the world just dropped..

For the 7th year in a row, hello darkness my old friend,” one said.
Another said: “To everyone who got tickets, enjoy the festival. I hope it makes you very happy. Dear Lord, what a sad little life.
You ruined my Sunday completely, so you could have the tickets. #glastonbury.” A third wrote: “What sort of sick twisted joke is this, I’d rather of been at 2 bars and get the sold out message.
