UK's Glastonbury festival tickets sell out in 45 minutes

Tickets for the 2027 Glastonbury Festival sold out within 42 minutes, organisers announced. Enthusiasts queued online at 09:00 BST to secure their spot at Worthy Farm in Somerset, where the event returned after a year-long hiatus. Tickets for the annual celebration were priced at £408 per ticket, inclusive of a £5 fee, marking a £29.50 increase from the 2025 edition.

Headliners have yet to be disclosed, but festival organizer Emily Eavis expressed excitement about the preparations. Shortly after 09:40, Glastonbury confirmed on Instagram that tickets had sold out, notifying those who had entered the queue. Organizers expressed regret to those who missed out due to the overwhelming demand. Resales of any cancelled or returned tickets will take place in Spring 2027.

The first round of tickets, including coach packages, sold out in under 30 minutes. Despite the higher cost, fans like Zoe Scott, a twice-attender, deemed the price worth it, citing the extensive lineup, numerous stages, and vibrant atmosphere. A couple who met at the festival in 2007, Nick and Helen Nugget, announced plans to attend again for their 20th wedding anniversary.

Meanwhile, Mat Chapman and his daughter Amy, who had been waiting for two decades to attend together, were only able to secure a ticket after a long wait. Tickets, which have gradually increased in price since 2010, reached the £400 mark for the first time this year, reflecting a steady rise over the years. Any unsold tickets after the deadline in early April 2027 will be put into an official resale pool, with the exact date to be announced in the future.
