The first batch of Glastonbury tickets sold out in 30 minutes after a new booking system was rolled out for the 2025 edition. 

The UK’s flagship festival introduced a virtual queue, with hopefuls no longer having to refresh their browser page to secure tickets. Those wanting to secure a ticket last night (Thursday) were randomly assigned a place in a queue to access the booking process.

Once customers are in the queue, a progress bar will indicate how close they are to reaching the booking page. Once users reach the front of the queue, they will be asked to enter the registration number and postcode for the lead booker and up to five others.

Coach tickets were the first batch to be placed on sale, while standard tickets will go on sale on Sunday at 9am local time.

The festival will run between June 25-29 at Worthy Farm in Somerset, and general admission full weekend tickets will cost £373.50 (€447/$473).

Glastonbury will take a fallow year in 2026, giving the land, the local village and festival team a chance to recover.
