GLASTONBURY 2025 tickets – including coach travel – sold out in around 30 minutes in the first sale under a new queueing system.

Punters hoping to travel to Worthy Farm in Somerset next June for the gathering were told to log on for the chance to buy coach and ticket packages at 6pm on Thursday night (November 14).

Instead of refreshing in a bid to gain access to the sales site, ticket hopefuls were instead – for the first time – placed in a queue, and told to simply wait until they were granted access to the booking page.

It is hoped the changes will result in a ‘fairer’ way of allocating tickets, with many claiming those teaming up to gain access were effectively ‘gaming’ the system.

However, as is always the case, some were left disappointed – and unhappy at the queues.

One user said: “Getting in early didn’t help my team. The only who got through opened the page last minute.

“I think it’s just as fair as the previous system but not pressing F5 (refresh) made me feel like I had no control.
“Give us a fake button that does nothing but makes us think it is! Give us the illusion of control.”

Standard general access tickets for the festival, which will run between June 25 and 29 next year, will go on sale on Sunday morning (November 17), at 9am, via glastonbury.seetickets.com only.

They cost £373.50, plus a £5 booking fee, though only a deposit of £75 is payable initially, with the remaining balance to be settled in May next year.

People can book up to six tickets at any one time.
