Having just got back from holiday in Ibiza, Zoe Scott is already
excited for next year’s Glastonbury and feels confident she’ll score tickets.
“There’s a lot of rumours going around that it’s
going to be even harder this year… but our friend Ben seems to be very lucky –
he managed to get six tickets last year and we’re relying on him again,” she says.
(No pressure, Ben.)
Zoe’s method involves connecting her new laptop to wi-fi and
her mobile to 5G, allowing her to access the system from two separate IP
addresses. She’s also in a group of six friends on WhatsApp all trying their
luck at the same time.
But if that fails, there’s always Glastonbury’s official resale
pool in April, she says. “The prices are exactly the same but obviously there’s
just less of them.”
Another option is buying hospitality tickets, as she did two years ago: “You need to
know somebody that’s working with the event – they’re more expensive, but at
least the campsite isn’t next to a stage.”
Lastly, what does Zoe make of Glastonbury’s price hike to £408 per ticket?
“It’s a privilege to be able to afford it, but I totally
think it’s worth it – [that’s] £100 average a day, you’re getting to see
thousands of acts, there’s over 100 stages. As a comparison, Oasis tickets
are currently £170 just for a couple of hours.”
“It’s such a vibe at Glastonbury – everyone’s so happy and free-spirited.
You’re just on a constant high from friends, music and the sun is usually
shining.
“You go there, switch off and just crack on for the next
four days.”
