Having just got back from holiday in Ibiza, Zoe Scott is already excited for next year's Glastonbury and feels confident she'll score tickets.
"There's a lot of rumours going around that it’s going to be even harder this year… but our friend Ben seems to be very lucky – he managed to get six tickets last year and we’re relying on him again," she says. (No pressure, Ben.)
Zoe's method involves connecting her new laptop to wi-fi and her mobile to 5G, allowing her to access the system from two separate IP addresses. She's also in a group of six friends on WhatsApp all trying their luck at the same time.
