Tickets for the famous festival went on sale on Thursday, November 14 with fans quickly snapping up ticket and coach travel options.

For those who weren't fortunate to get their hands on the highly sought after tickets earlier this week there is another chance tomorrow. General admission tickets will be on on sale at 9am on Sunday, November 17.

As the UK's biggest festival, the Worthy Farm event attracts hundreds of thousands of people annually. Fans have been treated in recent years to some top artists taking to the Glastonbury stages.

This year’s instalment saw Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA headline the Pyramid Stage. The 2025 Glastonbury Festival will take place from Wednesday, June 25 to June 29. Below are some tips on how to secure tickets.

Check your registration

As a method of trying to stop touts, anyone who wants to attend Glastonbury will need to have registered in advance. Registration closed at 5pm on Monday, November 11 and there will be no opportunity to submit/edit a registration until after the November ticket sales.

Your chance of buying tickets is not influenced in any way by the number of times you register, or the information you provide during registration. You can check your email to find your registration number.

More people trying means a higher chance of success

When trying for tickets there will be a higher probability you will succeed if you aren't alone in the battle with millions of other eager people waiting in the queue. If you and others try to work together in a group, it is likely someone will have a far better queue time than others.

Make sure the group have each other's details ahead of the sale including full names, addresses and most importantly registration numbers. This will make it an easier process for the person at the front of the queue to make sure everything goes smoothly without any hiccups.

Without a registration number you cannot purchase a ticket. For the general sale Glastonbury only requires a £75 deposit at the time of purchase with the rest to be paid at a later date.

Don't use multiple tabs or devices

As tempting as it might be to borrow the devices of everyone in your household and open dozens of tabs to maximise your ticket buying chances, this will only create issues according to the official Glastonbury website.

Glastonbury state: "Running multiple devices or tabs simultaneously to attempt to access the website may lead to your IP address being blocked, preventing you from buying a ticket. The same applies to sharing cookies and QueueIDs.

"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; therefore you must stick to one tab/device per IP address and please do not refresh your page once you are in the queue."

Optimise your internet connection

While this one may sound obvious, there are ways you can make sure your internet speed gives you the best chance of getting through the anxious ticket scramble quicker. Internet service provider National Broadband state on their website: "Where is your router? It should definitely be in an open space to ensure that Wi-Fi signal coverage is as strong as possible. Also make sure you're physically as close to your router as possible when trying to order tickets online."

They added network traffic as a possible issue that could impede your chances of ticket success. Stating on their website: "Is your broadband being bogged down by network traffic? Ensure you're the only person in your household using your internet connection whenever trying to order tickets, because that will reduce loading and boost your broadband's performance."

You could also consider using 5G to book tickets rather than using Wi-Fi. It can offer a faster, more reliable connection, which might boost your chances at having a good queue position.

Copy and paste details instead of typing them

The last thing you want to do is mess your registration details up in a frenzied hurry to finish off filling in the details boxes. A good idea ahead of the sale may be to set up a Google document or WhatsApp group with all the details you will require should you be lucky enough to secure tickets.

If trying for friends they should add their details to the documents so whoever reaches the front of the queue first has all details at the ready. It might seem like a boring task but you may end up thanking yourself for it. We all have a friend who takes far too long to reply and this way you can go ahead and fill in the details without having to reach out and wait anxiously for responses.

In 2019, Glastonbury organisers revealed that one wrong letter or number could mean everyone’s registration details are frozen for up to 10 minutes. You don't want to be the one messing up.
