Glastonbury 2025 Resale: Tickets Sell Out in Minutes as Fans Scramble

by contributors
Glastonbury 2023 Pyramid Stage

The final Glastonbury 2025 ticket resale has left the festival “officially sold out” after both coach-inclusive and general-admission tickets vanished within minutes. Organisers confirmed that all available resale tickets were gone within roughly 20 minutes of the GA sale opening at 9:00 BST on Sunday 27 April​. Coach-plus-ticket packages (with travel on festival buses) had gone on sale at 6:00 BST on Thursday 24 April and were fully snapped up in about 32 minutes​. Each General Admission ticket costs £378.50 (including a £5 booking fee)​ (plus £10.25 postage per order). The table below summarizes the key facts of the resale:

According to The Independent, the festival’s social media channels reported that “all of the tickets in today’s resale have now been sold” within the first half-hour​. In practice the general admission sale closed by about 9:20 BST – roughly 20 minutes after opening​. Similarly, News & Nub noted that “within just 17 minutes” some coach tickets were gone and all were taken by 32 minutes after the 6pm launch on April 24​. SeeTickets (the sales agent) confirmed around 6:30pm BST on April 24: “Coach tickets for @Glastonbury 2025 are now SOLD OUT. The general admission ticket resale will take place Sunday at 9am (BST)”​.

Fans took to social media in frustration and resignation as tickets disappeared. One local report described many fans as “more than a little furious” about missing out. The new online waiting-room queue (which replaced frantic page-refreshing) drew particular ire: Nub News recounted festival-goers “forced to sit in an online holding pen, watching a green loading bar creep across the screen… or not.” The site quoted that the system “left many feeling completely powerless”​. Witty fans captured the mood – one meme quipped “Death, taxes and two green bars,” humorously listing the inevitabilities of life and the stalled progress indicator​. Screenshots of the slow green progress bar proliferated as hopeful buyers waited, then waited some more. Amid the disappointment, those who did secure tickets congratulated each other online; the festival thanked buyers and apologised to those who missed out.

Looking ahead, organisers have one more sales window on Sunday 27 April: at 11:00 BST they will offer any cancelled camping passes or special accommodation packages (Worthy View cabins, Sticklinch, campervan/caravan tickets)​. Glastonbury 2025 itself runs 25–29 June. The headline acts were announced in early March – Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975 and Neil Young (with Rod Stewart in the Legends slot) will top the bill​. Festival co-organiser Emily Eavis has already spoken to the press about those headliners. In January she told The Guardian that Neil Young was “an artist who’s very close to our hearts” at Glastonbury and said the festival “can’t wait to welcome him back here to headline the Pyramid” in June​. (Fans should note that 2026 will be a fallow year, giving the site and organisers a break​.)

Sources confirm complete sell-out: official Glastonbury announcements and news outlets report the rapid pace of the April resales​. Fans are advised to beware of ticket scams and to check official channels for any last-minute releases.
