I'd be doubtful this would or even could translate to the Glastonbury 2025 sale in any meaningful way.
Firstly, while Ticketmaster do use some of the Queue-It technology, it's a different and much more embedded implementation so can be much more easily connected to individual transactions. Whereas the See version is just taking the off the shelf / cloud hosted version and sticking it on the front of their regular website - there would be a lot more reconciliation needed to even look at stuff like this.
Secondly because for things like this, Ticketmaster do have everyone logged in with one account per session. So they can see to a good level of detail whether an account has any history on it (purchases being the obvious one, but also previous queues joined, how it browsed the site, etc), what IP addresses it's linked to (and to what degree they've been shared), the associated email address (with some being far more suspicious than others), and tbh I'd expect that kind of metadata to be far more of a factor in this kind of determination than anything that could come out of the Queue-It system.
This is a very interesting point. And to add to this, I saw a comment (can't remember if it was Twitter or Reddit) saying someone had their Oasis tickets cancelled by See for the same reason, so it sounds like they've got involved.
It all only happend in the last few hours so when people start opening their emails in the morning it'll be interesting to see how far it's gone
