Think tactics



Have your bank card and that registration number ready; you will need both. Be poised at your computer, with a reliable internet connection, before the booking opens. Multi-taskers may want to double up by trying on their phones simultaneously.



Recruit willing friends and family to load the booking page, too. You can book up to six tickets per transaction, with a deposit of £50 per person (more if you are booking a coach journey too). She who makes it past the online queue will need the registration numbers for all the group – so send around a list in advance.



As ever with high-demand online booking, much of the battle with the online queue is pure luck, so there's certainly safety in numbers. Book for Bus Tickets



With Glastonbury's commitment to protecting the environment comes an inbuilt preference for eco-friendly group travel. Coach + ticket packages go on sale a few days days before General tickets.



Perhaps it’s the added expense, or the faint whiff of school trips, but Glastonbury tickets with coach travel tend to be less popular – plus the early booking means even if at first you don't succeed, you have another shot at booking for Standard Entry.



Long bus journeys may not be glam, especially ahead of a weekend of hedonism and questionable hygiene, but a coach ticket is more likely to get you in (and get you there). It's not a case of paying extra for the coach, then catching a lift with a friend. The festival entry tickets are given out on the coach, so if you book coach, you have to travel by coach — but you can book a single or a return journey. When booking coach tickets you can chose departure day as Wednesday 24 June or Thursday 25 June.



If you want to be extra tactical, get a coach ticket from a smaller city. London is always the busiest, so if you don’t mind a protracted journey, book coach tickets from Oxford, Reading or wherever else you're willing to travel. Snag Standard Entry Tickets



Take note of our tried and tested tactics and be ready for the surge that is Standard Entry booking... Make sure you set your alarm: tickets always sell out in one go. They are later opportunities to add on parking spaces for those who plan to drive.
