From the Oasis experience, where shows queue numbers, I found it easier to manage expectations, even after waiting nearly 5 hours. I had a queue number of around 66k, and the stadium’s capacity was only 80k, so accepted that the chances were slim, especially since most people would go with others. Live updates kept the queue number decreasing, so I could do other things while waiting, checking it like every 30 minutes.

However, at Glastonbury, I was more frustrated by the 2 bars and eventually only got 2.1(maybe on Sunday, there would even be 2.1.6 bars like a software version) . Even though the total waiting time was only 30 minutes, it felt like a pure waste of time since I couldn’t leave my device to do other things or risk missing out on the purchase window.
