Glastonbury 2027 tickets sell out within 42 minutes

Tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2027 sold out within 42 minutes, organisers said, after thousands of people joined an online queue for the event’s return to Worthy Farm in Somerset. The festival will take place from 23 to 27 June 2027, following a fallow year. Organisers announced the sellout on Instagram shortly after 09:40 BST and said demand had “greatly exceeded supply”.

They apologised to people who were unsuccessful and confirmed that any cancelled or returned tickets would be offered in a resale in spring 2027. The first tickets, sold as coach packages on Thursday, had sold out in less than half an hour. Weekend tickets cost £408, including a £5 booking fee.

Organisers confirmed last month that this was the highest price for the festival and represented an increase of £29.50 from the last event in 2025. The price has risen from £185 in 2010 and passed £400 for the first time for the 2027 festival. Since 2019, the cost has increased from £318 to £408, according to the supplied material.

The festival’s headliners have not yet been announced. Organiser Emily Eavis previously said the team was “very excited” and that preparations were “coming together really well”. Among those who secured tickets was Zoe Scott, who has attended twice and said the price was “totally worth it”.

Nick and Helen Nugget, who met at the festival in 2007, also succeeded and plan to return with the same group for their 20th wedding anniversary. Others, including Mat Chapman and his daughter Amy, were unsuccessful. Chapman said he had spent 20 years trying to get tickets and had hoped to attend for Amy’s 26th birthday, but added: “There’s always next year.”
