A ticket-buying expert has explained exactly what you should be doing to secure tickets to the most competitive concerts and festivals - including Glastonbury. Music journalist Georgie Rogers, a veteran of what she describes as the ‘military operation’ of grabbing tickets, says teaming up with friends and family to all try their luck is key.
Tablets tend to work best as they are the quickest to connect to the internet, and would-be attendees should know the layout of different venues off by heart so they know what tickets to get. But overloading a Wi-Fi network is a big no she says, as this can slow the connection and lead to missed opportunities.
It comes after research, into 2,000 adults, found 53 per cent have missed out on attending their dream festival or gig - because they were stuck in an online queue. Tickets to Glastonbury, the World Cup, Ed Sheeran and Wimbledon were voted the hardest live events to get tickets for online.
