If you want to get your hands on a ticket for Glastonbury next year, be online at 6pm tonight. But depending on where you live in London could affect your chances of being successful.
Data from the internet service provider National Broadband has revealed that the best borough to grab a Glasto ticket last year was Bromley, followed by Waltham Forest and Richmond.
Lambeth, Hackney, and Tower Hamlets have been named the worst places to pin your hopes on attending the Somerset festival.
What affects your chances of getting Glastonbury tickets?
Broadband speed is highlighted as one important factor to consider when trying to buy tickets.
He also warned about the change in the way that tickets are booked this year, via a queueing system, advising “not to use the same broadband” if you are in the same home as someone else and you’re both trying to get tickets.
Londoners ‘have the best chance of a Glasto ticket’
London is the best region of the UK to buy Glastonbury tickets in 2034, according to National Broadband
Londoners in general have the highest chance of securing tickets out of all UK regions, according to National Broadband’s ‘Glastonbury Ticket Matrix Scramble’. This is reportedly due to the high number of households with access to ‘decent’ broadband service.
Ofcom defines ‘decent’ broadband as having a speed of at least 10mbps.
This study also uses census data to find out the percentage of 25-34 year olds living in each location, that could cause high network traffic.
David Hennell, National Broadband’s Business Development Director explained to City News why Lambeth was hard to buy tickets from:
“Although [Lambeth] doesn’t have many properties at all with truly appalling broadband speeds, it’s got a larger quantity of propertied with just about OK but below average speeds”
He also revealed that Lambeth’s population has a “high percentage of 25-34 year olds, the group most likely to try and get festival tickets”, which causes high network traffic.
