Mistakes to avoid when buying Glastonbury tickets
There are mistakes that people repeatedly make when attempting to purchase a ticket
Glastonbury Festival has confirmed that tickets for the 2027 event will go on sale later this week.
After taking a year off in 2026, thousands of festival-goers are preparing to secure a place at next year's five-day event.
Coach and ticket packages are due to go on sale at 18:00 BST on Thursday and general admission tickets a few days later at 09:00 on Sunday.
The festival has introduced an automatic queuing system on the day of the sale. But for those anxious about securing a place, we have rounded up some hardened festival-goers' advice on the biggest pitfalls to avoid.
Theatre to close over 'serious financial constraints'
Some may think using multiple devices to secure tickets may give you better odds, however the website can mistake this for an error and kick you out of the queue at any point. It may also ban you from re-entering the site.
Having multiple tabs open might mean the website decides you're a bot and blocks you.
Joining the waiting room earlier than the advertised time may give you a better chance in the queue, even if it is randomised.
However, joining late will place you at the back of the queue, which lessens your chance due to the amount of people already waiting.
