I've got a few mates that'll be helping me in the resale and pardon my ignorance but what info do I need to give them? Is it just name, registration number, postcode, sort code and account number? Last year was my first year and I can't remember exactly what info I needed

They'll need to enter 'all' of your card details:

16 digit 'long' number

Expiry date

3-digit CVV code from the back strip

Your GF registration number

Your postcode

I think that'll do it.

You can't pay for resale tickets with a credit card in the UK? I could have sworn I got some with a cc last year. So if you get through and need to buy 4 tickets you need to have over £900 at the ready? Few days before pay day, looks like I'm asking the Mrs for a temp loan!

Probably advisable to use your email and phone number too, though not essential, it will help with any follow-up queries

AND MAKE SURE IT'S A DEBIT CARD!

Everyone who truly wants a ticket shall get one.

I have friends who missed out on getting a Campervan ticket, does anyone know if there is generally any available in the re-sale? Thanks in advance...

The resale FAQs on the site suggests that any campervan tickets that get cancelled will be sold as and when on the glastonbury.seetickets.com page, so no official date for them all to go up - it will be a case of luck rather than judgement I would imagine.

if the registrations were paid for on different cards and registered to different addresses I'm not sure how they'd tell :( even if you had a blag name to make them completely different

What about the photo? If they find out you have bought tickets for one person on two different registrations they will cancel all of them. Not sure it's worth the risk!

No, it was the same last year. Debit cards only. And bear in mind that if you need 4 tickets and 4 people are all trying at the same time, all 4 of you will need the £900 available!

I know that on occasion the odd credit card has been able to sneak through during the initial sale, but I guess they may have tightened up the systems a touch? I wouldn't fancy risking a rejection if you get through though. I know that the whole credit card thing caused absolute mayhem in 2013 when a load of my group didn't realise until the last minute and hadn't factored in needing to have 8 x £50 deposits, in the end we just had a few who had done and distributed the card details to everyone - managed to get 24 people in that year.

Any idea why they don't let CCs through?

I'll sort it out, I'm sure. Hopefully my dad can lend me the money into my DC and I can just transfer a debt over to my CC or something. My mum will now what to do... Can always trust the 'rents ;)

Probably due to the charges that go with CC over DC.

Thanks, should have picked up on that when reading through the FAQs. Guess they will have to be really lucky to pick one up!! Failing that they will have to come and "slum" it with our group in tents. Thanks, again.

I'm pretty sure last time I bought the tickets myself they took a day or two before debiting my account so once I'd bought the tickets my friends just fired me the money via internet banking and it was in my account waiting for see/Glastonbury to take it. Always a worrying few days waiting for it to be taken.

Can you still buy tickets if you don't have enough money in your bank account at the time of purchase? I only have enough money for my ticket at the moment, what if I bought my ticket & a couple other peoples tickets and they transfer the money to me after? Or would the card just get rejected straight away?

They don't take the £££s instantly but it's pretty quick. A couple of minutes while it goes though the systems. Don't risk it, just have enough money in 1 account nominated between a group whos trying & make sure you all have the details of the card ready to copy and paste from a doc should you get a booking screen

Another question... Looks like I'm solo on this, but a couple of friends are gonna try help me... What if more than 1 of us get through at the same time and payment goes through? Will both transactions get cancelled? Or will See/Glasto ring me and sort it out so I only pay once or what?

As soon as a successful transaction goes through with a particular registration number, it's impossible to buy another ticket with that registration number. The second person would get an error message saying something like "This registration number has already been used to buy a ticket"

The easiest way would be to have all funds in one account and whoever gets through puts in the card details for that account. (ie share the card details of the account with the money in with everyone in the group).

I borrowed £600 off my Dad to make sure one year. I didn't even get through. Just gave it straight back the next day.

Friend of a friend did though so fired off the cash after she called me saying she got us tickets. It's tough when your young & skint, or skint.

But always best to have the full balance in your bank to make things easier & quicker. You don't want to lose x amount of tickets due to waiting for a friends to transfer money.

I had a ticket in the first sale, paid for it with my NZ debit card by putting in my mates uk address.. it seemed to accept and had confirmed id bought it. 379nzd was withdrawn from my account..

Ive now seen the 379 is back in my account and theres no sign of the transaction in the statement history. This must be because i used an nz debit card. Does this mean ive lost my glastonbury ticket? Is there a way to recontact seetickets and give them new credit card details?

A little worries right now..

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.
