This is it folks, the general sale for Glastonbury 2025 tickets has finally begun.

Everyone knows that snagging a place to Worthy Farm is no easy feat - although if you're here and not anxiously sat in the ticket queue we assume you're not too fussed about it - and today is the day tickets go on sale.

So, expect to see a lot of people either moaning, sharing screenshots of booking confirmations, or both on social media today.

Glastonbury is already in bad books with some festival goers after they decided to completely overhaul the ticketing system for next year, seeing the implementation of the dreaded online queue (for anyone who tried to get Oasis tickets, if you know, you know) so it's not surprising that fans are out en masse to complain about the change this morning.

How has the Glastonbury ticketing system changed?

In years gone by, Glastonbury fans would be required to manically refresh their browser once the clock hit 9am in order to make it through the holding page.

But not anymore.

This year fans were directed to have the Glastonbury See Tickets page open and ready to go, with the website randomly assigning everyone a spot in the virtual queue. The only rule is that you must not, under any circumstances, refresh the page once you're in the queue.

Which you can imagine is a little strange for fans who are used to frantically smashing that refresh button over and over again.

Glastonbury hopefuls are making their feelings about being in a virtual queue for tickets very clear this morning, and if the mood online is anything to go by, it's going to be a very tough day for many.

"Don't give me a bar-based system and then start going up in partial-bar increments," one person wrote on X, alongside a screenshot of their place in the queue, while a second stressed out hopeful added: "This Glastonbury queue is gonna kill me off man how have I not moved a single bar."

"Is anyone seeing anything other than 2 green bars?" a third person queried.

Meanwhile, others were commenting on how difficult is was not to hit refresh, with one person joking: "This new ticket sale style is torture when you’ve spent years being like this."

"Bold of them to call themselves SeeTickets when I haven't seen any tickets," another added.


A moment of silence please for everyone who spends their entire Sunday counting green bars on their laptop screen.
