Glastonbury 2025 ticket sales triggered widespread frustration as fans grappled with the new “two bar crew” queuing system. Many reported being stuck early in the queue progress—some confined to just two bars, others barely halfway before the tickets sold out.
Coach transport and combined ticket packages vanished unbelievably fast, selling out within moments after ticket allocation began. The system’s random queue position meant many fans found it hard to gauge their progress, intensifying confusion and annoyance.
A variety of users on the r/glastonbury_festival subreddit shared their struggles:
- Being stuck in a sluggish queue with minimal progress bars.
- “Misuse of queuing” errors that forced repeated line re-entries.
- Multi-continent ticket-purchasing attempts with large groups yielding only a few successful bookings.
Official reports confirm tickets sold out in 32 minutes—slightly slower than 2024’s 25-minute sell-out—but the coach packages disappeared almost instantly upon availability. Some fans resorted to VPN use hoping to improve odds by shifting geographic entry points, although no guarantees exist with this tactic.
The takeaway: high demand collided with the complexities of a new queuing system that fans neither loved nor understood well, leaving many empty-handed despite persistence and resourcefulness.
For those still chasing tickets or coach spots, stay alert for any announcements about resale or additional options ahead of Glastonbury 2025.
