With tickets for Glastonbury 2025 selling out in 35 minutes, resale is expected to be popular. Tickets with coach travel options go on sale at 6pm BST on April 24 2025 and general admission tickets go on sale at 9am BST on April 27 2025.
You'll need to be registered, pay in full, and up to four tickets can be purchased in each transaction.
Following the initial ticket run, many fans were left disappointed and some reported issues with the ticket booking system – new for this year.
But did using one of the best VPNs help in securing those much sought after tickets?
Organisers stated that you must stick to one tab/device per IP address, and having multiple devices and/or tabs linked to one IP address could see that address blocked.
However, using a VPN allows you different IP addresses, meaning multiple devices can be used to try and purchase tickets.
Feedback from readers, friends, and family who used a VPN on multiple devices seemed positive, with many successful in purchasing tickets.
So, when it comes to resale tickets, how can a VPN help?
How a VPN can help you
Let's be clear from the start: using a VPN will not guarantee you tickets, but it may allow you multiple attempts.
VPNs give you a new IP address, meaning all your devices' addresses will be unique and can access the Glastonbury ticket site, and any VPN will do the job.
You can use one device with your home Wi-Fi network as normal, but any other devices will require a VPN connection.
If your phone is one of your devices, then we recommend switching off Wi-Fi and using mobile data, as this will give you a different IP address to devices connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
Many VPN providers will generate one IP address for use across all your sessions, so you need a greater number of devices to increase your chances.
However, if you are limited to a small number of devices, then ExpressVPN may work better for you. ExpressVPN generates a new IP address for each session, so every new tab you open has a new IP address. This will allow you to have multiple IP addresses on one device.
What if there are multiple people in my house?
If you live in a shared house, a number of you might be after Glastonbury 2025 resale tickets – but all being on the same Wi-Fi could cause problems.
Everyone attempting to purchase tickets will need to use a VPN to ensure a unique spread of IP addresses. You can purchase up to four resale tickets in one transaction, so you'll want as many people as possible having a go.
The number of devices that can connect to a VPN varies between providers. If you know there are a lot of devices in your house then a VPN service that offers unlimited simultaneous device connections, such as Surfshark or Private Internet Access, will be more suitable.
NordVPN and Proton VPN both offer protection for up to 10 devices, so these would be perfectly fine for households with fewer devices.
Do you need to pay for a VPN?
If you don't already have a VPN subscription, then yes, you would need to purchase a VPN.
Many of the top providers, including the best cheap VPNs, offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on plans. Whilst we'd strongly recommend protecting your devices all year round, you can claim a refund if you'd rather not keep the product.
At $1.11 per month, PrivadoVPN is a great VPN if you're on a budget. We rate Surfshark as the second best VPN overall and its $1.99 per month price is a significant reason for that.
You could also subscribe to one of the best free VPNs, as these will mask your IP address just as well as the premium products.
However, not all free VPNs offer protection for multiple devices. So if you're going down that route, you would need to subscribe to a free VPN on each individual device.
