Paul Farrugia, the writer of the 100% Unofficial Glastonbury Festival Guidebook, external, is gearing up to get tickets to his 12th Glastonbury.
He has a 100% track record of getting tickets, although on occasion he has had to wait until the April resale to secure tickets.
Farrugia, who went to his first Glastonbury in the "Jay-Z year" in 2008, usually uses his iPad, phone and laptop and refreshed the pages to get tickets.
But things are different this year and Farrugia warns people to not use multiple devices or refresh their tab – there's a risk you could be kicked out of the queue.
This year, he will be using one device with a solid Wi-Fi connection and sitting with a strong coffee and starring down the "green bars of doom".
"There's no rhyme or reason," he tells me. "It's literally a lottery."
But Farrugia says the new system, which requires festival goers to submit their reference number to join the queue, has created a "much more level playing field".
So what other tips does the unofficial Glastonbury writer and podcaster have?
Do not give up until tickets have officially sold out, he says. Even if allocations appear to be gone, some payments may fail and tickets could become available.

Would-be attendees must already be registered with the festival to make a purchase and can buy up to six tickets each, with a deposit of £100 per ticket.
The remaining £308 per ticket will then be payable in the first week of April 2027, and it will be possible to add car parking passes and cancellation protection to bookings.
