It’s the most stressful time of year once more: that’s right, the resale for the biggest musical event of the summer, Glastonbury. In 2023, tickets for the festival sold out in just an hour. With that in mind, it’s more important than ever to be organised and prepared to increase your odds of securing the goods.
With coach sale set to take place at 6pm tonight, and the general resale on Sunday November 17 at 9am, here’s what to know about maximising your chances of visiting Worthy Farm this summer. Scatter-brained? Busy at work? Glastonbury ticket resales wait for no man, so a good idea for the otherwise-occupied might well be to set an alarm for an hour, half an hour and ten minutes beforehand – enough notice to set up your devices in time for the sale to open. With that in mind, make sure to be ready and waiting on the site for the minute the tickets go on sale.
This is especially important given Glastonbury’s new ticket-selling policy this year: those who log in late will be sent to the back of the queue to get tickets, which (knowing how popular the festival is) is almost a guarantee of missing out. You snooze, you lose. To coach or not to coach, that’s the question.
Coach tickets can be helpful, providing both transport and festival access in one convenient package, but they do sell out faster than regular Glastonbury tickets – this year, it was in 25 minutes. If you do pick coach, then where from – London, Bristol, Newcastle? And what day – Wednesday.
