GLASTONBURY 2025 tickets are officially on sale and fans are now scrambling to fight their way through the queueing system.

With the annual event at Worthy Farm known to sell out within minutes, an addition to the queuing system means they can track their progress in real time.

Fans watching their screens will see a growing green upload bar, which adds a new segment as they move further up the queue line.

However, fans quickly frew frustrated when they all noticed they're stuck at just "two green bars" with no movement at all.

Venting their frustrations out on X (formerly Twitter), hopefuls quickly realised they were all having the same issue.

One declared it the "two bars of doom" while another complained: "20 mins in… I’ll be heading 2 a few BARS after this"

"how have my two green bars not moved at all and it's already been 20 mins" said another.

Others tried to remain hopeful, with one writing: "Don’t stop me now. 2 and 1 half bars. I can smell the grass."

"Getting up at 4am in Mexico. If I wanted 2 bars, I would of gone to the shop to get some chocolate instead," moaned another.

Thankfully, at least some were seen to be making progress, with one fan joking: "not to make everyone really jealous but i’ve got 7 bars x"

"My eyesight may be deceiving me but that is indeed.. 3 and a bit bars! Come on Glastonbury," said another. "It’s a massacre out here."

The bar system was put in place to help people track their progress, although once you're in the queue, you'll be put straight to the back if you refresh.

As a result multiple people have shared their screens where they've used multiple browsers and devices in the hope that one of them will get them through.

It's a last minute switch up from the team who hoped to streamline the ticket buying process with a long statement of rules to prevent touts and multiple purchases.

The line-up for next year's festival is yet to be announced, though has been rumoured to include Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Eminem.

Alanis Morrisette and Simple Minds have also been rumoured to be taking to the stage.

Last year Coldplay, Dua Lipa and SZA headlined the Pyramid Stage, with Shania Twain taking the acclaimed Legends slot.
