Glastonbury is changing its booking process this year – here’s everything you need to know

Group chats across the UK were sent into a frenzy yesterday (November 5) when Glastonbury revealed it was changing its booking process. The more organised of you will have already set your alarms for 6pm on Thursday November 14, got into groups of six and compiled a spreadsheet with all your registration numbers and post codes, but how could you prepare for Glasto suddenly changing the process?

Okay, the new ticket buying procedure isn’t vastly different to what it was before, but there are some key differences. Here’s everything you need to know about the new booking system.

Glasto has revealed that instead of having a holding page which users have to refresh to gain access to the See Tickets site, this year they will have a queue à la the Ticketmaster website. When sales open, each user will be randomly assigned a place in the queue. If you join the site after sales open, you will automatically be assigned to the back, so make sure to log on a few minutes before. Once you reach the front of the queue, it’s business as usual. Hopeful buyers have 10 minutes to enter the registration numbers of up to six people and make the purchase. 

Should I refresh the page?

No, you may lose your place and this could harm your chances by appearing as suspicious bot behaviour. All you need to do is wait patiently in the queue. 

Should I use multiple devices?

No, we don’t recommend using multiple browsers or devices, as this could result as your IP address being blocked by See Tickets.

‘Refreshing the page, using multiple tabs or many devices can look like suspicious behaviour and can harm your chances of getting through by triggering anti-bot software,’ Glastonbury writes on its website. 

Good luck to everyone trying for Glasto 2025 tickets. Who knows, you might be assigned first place in the queue.
