Glastonbury puts tickets with unpaid balance on resale platform

A limited number of Glastonbury 2017 tickets have been released for resale, following the closure of its seven-day ticket balance payment window.

Those who paid a deposit in the autumn, but did not pay the remainder of their balance for the festival, will now be seeing their tickets on Glastonbury’s ticket resale market.

Tickets will be sold exclusively on the See Tickets-powered Glastonbury resale webpage.

Those who will be traveling to the festival by coach are given the first opportunity to book tickets on April 20 at 6pm. The general admission tickets resale will follow on April 23 at 9am.

Tickets cost £238 (€279/$295) plus a £5 booking fee, with postage by Royal Mail Special Delivery charged at £7.75 per order. The coach package e-Ticket delivery is £1.50 per order.

At the point of booking, the full price of the ticket must be paid, as there is no deposit scheme offered through the resale platform. However, they will be refundable up until May 5, with cancellation protection available during the booking process.

The initial tickets that were sold in October sold out in less than an hour, with See Tickets announcing that its platform had processed 135,000 ticket sales in just under 50 minutes.
