How to volunteer at Glastonbury 2025 if you miss out on tickets

Thousands of people will be descending on Somerset's Worthy Farm next June as Glastonbury returns for another year.

General admission tickets for the festival went on sale on Sunday morning at 9am as fans scrambled to get their hands on them.

Unfortunately demand far outstrips the number of tickets available meaning plenty of festival fans will be left disappointed this morning. While some people might be holding out for the resale, hoping they can bag a ticket next spring, others may be looking for another way of getting to the festival.

Glastonbury hosts some of the biggest bands in the world each year, but prices have been steadily rising in recent years and the cost of a general admission ticket has now hit more than £350.

A cheaper way to secure entry to the event - and avoid the stressful ticket scrambles - is to become a volunteer. Volunteers usually have to put down a deposit, which they will get back as long as they complete the shifts that are required of them, making attending the festival free.

Volunteers are allowed to camp on site and have access to the festival while they're not working. Luckily, most volunteers only have to complete a handful of shifts over the weekend, meaning there's still plenty of time to enjoy the festival and the music on offer while off duty.

Several different organisations take on volunteers for Glastonbury and there are a wide range of jobs available. Some may require previous experience or qualifications but there are plenty of opportunities for first-timers too.

Here are some of the options you could explore if you want to volunteer at Glastonbury in 2025.
