Thanks to everyone who bought one and sorry to those who missed out, on a morning when demand was much higher than supply. There will be a resale of any cancelled or returned tickets in spring 2025.— Glastonbury Festival (@glastonbury) November 17, 2024Ahead 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.
