    Tickets went on sale at 9am today (Sunday October 4), with huge numbers of hopeful festivalgoers joining the virtual queue for the first Glastonbury since 2025.

    At 9:42am, See Tickets confirmed that the entire allocation had been snapped up.

    “Tickets for @Glastonbury Festival 2027 are now SOLD OUT,” it wrote. “Confirmation emails are going out now. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets this morning and sorry to those who missed out.”

     

    The sale followed coach and ticket packages selling out in under 30 minutes on Thursday (October 1).

    Glastonbury 2027 will be the festival’s first edition following its fallow year in 2026, and will run at Worthy Farm from Wednesday June 23 to Sunday June 27.

    Organisers announced last month that general admission tickets would cost £408 each, including a £5 booking fee – taking the price above £400 for the first time. Buyers today were required to pay a £100 deposit, with the remaining £308 due between April 1 and 7 next year.

    This morning saw the return of the tweaked ticketing process that debuted during Thursday’s coach sale. Fans once again had to enter their registration details before accessing the virtual queue, with the same registration tied to a single queue position rather than allowing multiple attempts across different devices.

    Once inside, fans were shown a row of blocks that gradually turned green as they moved closer to the front, rather than being given a numerical position in the queue.

    Unsurprisingly, the sight of stubbornly static green bars quickly began to get on people’s nerves.

    Over on the Glastonbury subreddit, one hopeful festivalgoer summed up the experience simply as “2 bars of hell”, while another joked: “Well, maybe the real Glastonbury tickets were the 2 bars we met along the way.”

    Others reported technical problems, including being given “access restricted” messages despite saying they were not using VPNs or attempting to circumvent the queue.

    At 9:26am – 26 minutes after the sale began – the queue page offered the first indication of how quickly tickets were disappearing.

    “Over half the available tickets have now been sold, the queue for remaining tickets is moving steadily,” the message read.

    By that point, however, some lucky fans had already made it through and were celebrating their successful purchases.
