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 National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
