As Glastonbury 2023 prepares to open its gates tomorrow, over 200,000 festival-goers (including staff and volunteers!) are set to descend upon Somerset’s Worthy Farm. Yet, as the UK’s biggest festival kicks off, many watching from home are already eyeing up how to get into next year’s spectacle.
Glastonbury isn’t just famous for its unbeatable line-ups and electric atmosphere. It’s also renowned for its notoriously fast-selling tickets. With the 2023 edition’s tickets selling out within an hour of release last November, and re-sale tickets disappearing in just six minutes in April, you’ve got to be on the ball.
When is Glastonbury 2024?
While we don’t have exact dates for Glastonbury 2024 yet, traditionally the festival has rocked the end of June. So, once this year’s event wraps up, keep your eyes and ears open for the big announcement.
How much are tickets for Glastonbury 2024?
While we’re still waiting for confirmed prices for Glastonbury 2024, we can look at 2023’s prices for a hint. Last year, you’d have had to shell out £335 plus a £5 booking fee for a full weekend general admission pass. You pay a £50 deposit during the autumn ticket sales then pay the rest in the spring, usually around early April. And for those thinking about coach package tickets, remember you need to pay the coach travel price in full when you pay your deposit, which can vary from £40 to £150.
How and when do I register for Glastonbury 2024 tickets?
Before joining the frantic rush for tickets, there’s a crucial step: registration. This is all part of Glastonbury’s efforts to combat ticket touting, and it means your ticket will come complete with a photo of you. Head over to glastonbury.seetickets.com now to register. If you’ve registered before (and after 2010), it’s a good idea to check your registration and update your photo if it’s more than two years old. Registered before 2010? You’ll need to register again, as these older registrations have been deleted.
When will Glastonbury 2024 tickets go on sale?
While we can’t give you an exact date yet, if past years are anything to go by, you can expect ticket sales to kick off in late October or early November 2023. And for those looking to bundle a coach ticket with their festival pass, these usually go on sale first on a Thursday evening. General admission tickets then usually go on sale a few days later, at 9am Sunday morning. Remember, if you buy a coach package ticket, you need to hop on that specific coach to receive your festival tickets. You can’t buy a coach package ticket and then travel by car, train or any other method – you won’t be allowed into Glastonbury.
When are the ticket resales?
Didn’t manage to snag a ticket in the first round? Don’t sweat it. There’s usually a re-sale, which includes tickets from those who didn’t pay their balance in full by the early April deadline. Keep your eyes peeled towards the end of April 2024 for this.
When will the Glastonbury 2024 line-up be revealed?
Eager to know who’s hitting the stage at Glastonbury 2024? You’ll need to be patient. The full line-up isn’t usually revealed until closer to the event. However, festival organisers tend to drop a couple of big names towards the year’s end, with the headline acts and a first big wave of artists announced in early spring. Expect the full line-up to be unveiled around a month before the festival kicks off.
How can I get into Glastonbury for free?
If the ticket prices seem steep, or you missed out in the sales, there’s still hope. Partners such as Oxfam and Wateraid need thousands and thousands of volunteers. In exchange for your ticket, you’ll need to work shifts during the festival. However, remember you might need to pay a ticket deposit, which can be the same price as the festival entry. You’ll get this back if you turn up for all your shifts.
