Music fans call for Glastonbury Festival to introduce ticket ballot in future
Some fans believe the introduction of a ticket ballot will give them a better chance at securing their place at Glastonbury in future.
Taking to X, one shared a screenshot of the ticket queue, writing: “Here we go again … When will #Glastonbury implement a ballot system for purchasing tickets !?!”
Another posted a picture of the queue screen on the ticket website that didn’t update fans that it’s sold out, writing: “And yet - this is still on the go! Do a Ballot in future please.”

However, the website is now making festival fans aware that the tickets have sold out.
A third said: “The question has to be….
“Why has @glastonbury not switched to a ballot or other ticketing system, when for years it’s clear the current @seetickets queuing system is not fit for purpose. #Glastonbury”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
