One registration gets one place in the Glastonbury ticket queue

Glastonbury Pyramid Stage flags and flagpoles

Coach and ticket packages for Glastonbury 2027 sold out in under 30 minutes on Thursday night. The Standard reported that See Tickets had them marked sold out by 6.31pm. General admission is still due at 9am on Sunday 4 October, and only from glastonbury.seetickets.com.

The sale used a new queue. Fans had to enter a registration number before they could join, rather than only when they reached the booking page. Time Out reported a captcha, then the registration number, then a queue ID linked to that registration. The Independent, NME and the Standard all reported the same change.

Extra devices on the same registration number did not help. Another phone, browser, incognito window, VPN or mobile connection produced the same queue ID and the same place in line. It did not create a second chance.

In some cases it broke the booking. NME reported a buyer who joined at about 5.45pm, then had a syndicate of six enter the same registration number. “I got to the front of the queue at 18:14, but instead of the booking page, I got an error page,” they wrote. Everyone else on that number got the same error.

Glastonbury has not confirmed the change. The published 2027 ticket sale FAQ still says you enter the registration number and postcode only when you reach the front. It already told buyers to stick to one tab or device per IP address, and warned that extra devices, tabs or refreshes can look like a bot. Sharing registration details, cookies or QueueIDs can get your details blocked. The Independent said it had asked the festival for comment.

A group can still try with different registration numbers. Each person queues on their own device, with their own number. Whoever gets through can still book up to six tickets, using each person’s registration number and postcode. Those names cannot be changed once you move on. It is not clear whether a registration that already bought a coach package can queue again on Sunday.

Sunday’s tickets are for Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 June 2027 at Worthy Farm, the first Glastonbury since the 2026 fallow year. Be in the waiting room by 8.50am. Anyone who joins after 9am goes to the back. Registration closed at 5pm on Friday 25 September and will not reopen until after these October sales, so anyone not already registered cannot buy. There will be another registration window before the spring resale. Children aged 12 and under do not need a ticket. Everyone aged 13 or over needs their own registration.

General admission is £408, including a £5 booking fee, plus £11.25 postage and packing per order. That is £29.50 more than the £378.50 charged for 2025. You pay a £100 deposit now and the balance in the first week of April 2027. Coach bookings also had a £3 e-ticket fee per order. You get 10 minutes on the details page, and tickets are only allocated once payment goes through. Do not refresh, leave the tab, or use a VPN, proxy, ad blocker or privacy plugin. On Thursday the queue showed bars turning green, not a number, and a lot of people reported sitting on two bars until the tickets were gone.

Photo registration is not new. Coach packages also went first in the 2023 ticket sale, at 6pm on the Thursday, with general admission at 9am on Sunday. The 2024 ticket guide set out the same limit of six tickets, each matched to a registration number and postcode, as part of the photo check against touts. Emily Eavis has already ruled out Oasis and Madonna for the 2027 line-up. The 2025 Pyramid headliners were The 1975, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, and Olivia Rodrigo.
