Glastonbury Festival 2025 Tickets Sell Out in Record Time
Tickets for the iconic Glastonbury Festival 2025 have sold out in an impressive 35 minutes, with thousands of eager fans joining an online queue at 9:00 AM GMT. By 9:35 AM, all available tickets had been purchased, highlighting the event’s immense popularity.
The festival, scheduled for 25-29 June 2025, will be the last before a planned one-year break in 2026 to allow the Worthy Farm grounds in Somerset to recover. Ticket prices increased to £373.50, plus a £5 booking fee, which is £18.50 more than the 2024 pricing.
A new automatic queue system was implemented for this year’s ticket sale, requiring fans to be online with a valid registration number before the sale began. The system received mixed reviews from potential attendees. Some users reported technical difficulties, with complaints about crashed booking pages and access denied messages. One frustrated user shared, “I was on the booking page, clicked proceed and then it crashed. Took me back to the booking page – crashed again – then I got a message saying all tickets have been sold out.”
However, other users were more positive about the new system. Some praised it as a significant improvement and a step towards a fairer ticket allocation process. One user commented, “Didn’t get tickets but the system was a massive improvement on the last one. Much fairer.”
Key details of the ticket sale include:
– Registration for 2025 tickets closed on 11 November
– Maximum purchase limit of six tickets per person
– Full payment required by 7 April 2025
– Unpaid tickets will be put up for resale in spring 2025
The festival organizers acknowledged the high demand, stating on social media: “Thanks to everyone who bought one and sorry to those who missed out, on a morning when demand was much higher than supply.”
For context, the 2024 festival saw around 210,000 attendees, with previous general tickets selling out in under an hour. This year’s event featured performances by Coldplay, Dua Lipa, and SZA on the Pyramid Stage, with Shania Twain performing the Sunday Legends spot.
While the 2025 lineup has yet to be announced, the rapid ticket sales demonstrate Glastonbury’s continued status as one of the world’s most sought-after music festivals. The quick sell-out and new ticketing system reflect the event’s ongoing evolution and popularity among music fans.
Those who missed out can still hope for a chance during the ticket resale in spring 2025, offering another opportunity to secure a spot at this legendary festival.
