The first chance to buy tickets to the 2025 edition of Glastonbury Festival – set to run from Wednesday 25th to Sunday 29th of June – took place this evening (14th November), with Coach Ticket Packages for next summer’s event completely selling out in just 32 minutes.
As ever, thousands of people were glued to their computer and smartphone screens in the first of two ticket sales for the chance to gain access to the Worthy Farm event next June.
The sale this evening was also the first time fans got to experience the new queue system, which was announced earlier this month and replaces the manual “refresh” method used in previous years.
Rather than refreshing the holding page to attempt to access the booking page, this year, when the ticket sales begin, everyone who is already on the glastonbury.seetickets.com page is randomly assigned a place in a queue to access the booking process.
Coach Ticket Packages went up for sale at 6pm and were all gone by 6:32pm. First to go were the Wednesday Coach Packages which sold out by 6:25pm, with the Thursday packages selling shortly after.
At 6:32pm, the official Glastonbury Festival X (Twitter) account confirmed that “The Glastonbury 2025 tickets + coach travel which were on sale this evening have now all been sold”, while thanking everyone who bought one.
Shortly after, See Tickets – the company running ticket sales – then announced that confirmation emails are on their way to everyone successful in buying coach tickets this evening.
All tickets sold this evening were bundled with coach travel which offers departure options from dozens of locations across the UK — this means those who bought tickets tonight must travel via coach and won’t be able to access the Festival via any other means of transport.
Now that the Coach Ticket Package sale is out of the way, all eyes turn to the main sale for General Admission tickets which will take place this Sunday morning (17 November) at 9am.
Glastonbury 2025 tickets will be sold exclusively at glastonbury.seetickets.com and cost £373.50, plus a £5 booking fee (which is a £18.50 hike from the 2024 price of £355 plus a £5 booking fee), of which a £75 deposit (plus coach fare if booking a ticket including coach travel options) is payable when booking in November – with the balance payable in the first week of April 2025.
In addition to Coach tickets and General tickets, another allocation of tickets is usually kept back for local residents in a separate ticket sale, with the rest of the tickets reserved for those working at the festival, including performers, medical staff, car park stewards, traders, litter pickers and others.
As of 2022, the total capacity for Glastonbury Festival was set at 210,000 people (including staff, volunteers, performers, traders and others). However, it is expected that roughly 140,000 tickets – of which around 22,000 are dedicated coach packages – will be available across the two ticket sales this November.
The appeal for Glastonbury Festival tickets is always extremely high and nowadays demand well outstrips the supply – this can be seen by how quickly tickets sell out each year.
Before today, the last time a main Glastonbury ticket sale took place was in November of 2023, when coach ticket packages sold out in just 25 minutes, and regular tickets were all gone in 57 minutes — all of which were conducted using the old queueless ticket sale system.
More Info
Generally speaking, before fans can anticipate getting in the online queue once a sale goes live, it’s imperative to register in order to be able to access tickets. In an effort to prevent touting, tickets for Glastonbury Festival are non-transferable, meaning that each person’s ticket is linked with the name, address and photo they provide when registering.
Anyone aged 13 or over who wants to attend the Festival must register online before tickets go on sale, as a registration number will be needed when purchasing tickets and before the deposit can be paid. That said, those aged 12 or younger when gates open for the event in 2025 don’t need a ticket, and therefore do not need to register.
Back in August of 2023, Glastonbury officials notified festival-goers they had until the end of September [2023] to ensure that their details would remain valid ahead of an expected ticket sale that autumn.
The official Glastonbury Festival website stated: “Any registrations submitted prior to 2020 require reviewing and confirmation before 30th September 2023, with any non-confirmed registrations being deleted on 2nd October 2023 and you will be required to submit a new registration before you can try and book tickets for the 2024 Festival and future years”.
Although the registration window is currently closed due to the upcoming ticket sales, it will open once again before the resale in April [2025], at which time you’ll be able to register here, or check your already exciting registration here, for ticket access when the time comes.
⚠️ Bogus Operators
Glastonbury Festival would very much like fans to be aware that there are people out there who will try and sell fake Glastonbury tickets to unsuspecting, willing and innocent potential purchasers. Although Glasto-veterans who have been going to the Festival for quite some time may recognise these scams for what they are, newcomers might not.
Please do not risk falling victim to touts, bogus operators or fake promotions / contests. If you have doubts about any company offering tickets, accommodation or competitions to access Glastonbury Festival, please get in touch with the Festival office – And as always, remember that tickets are sold only on one site, which is glastonbury.seetickets.com
Other News
As with every Glastonbury-year, speculation about who might play the legendary festival is always very high, and with the 2025 event fast approaching, the Glasto Rumour Mill is already spinning in full force.
Although no acts have been Officially Confirmed for the Glastonbury 2025 line-up as of this moment in time, some prominent headliner names currently making the rumour rounds include Olivia Rodrigo and Sam Fender, as well as Cher – who is also lightly mentioned in the Legends slot context.
Despite the first line-up poster not usually being revealed until the beginning of March, followed by the full line-up announcement sometime at the end of May (and a string of individual area line-up announcements in between), there are many artists who ‘self-confirm’ before the official announcements by divulging the news via interviews, social media or website listings to accompany the ever-growing rumours.
