What time Glastonbury tickets go on sale on how to buy them

Music fans finally have a chance to secure Glastonbury Festival tickets this week after the initial sales were pushed back. Earlier this month, festival organisers announced it would push back ticket sales for next year's event by two weeks just hours before the first ones were supposed to go on sale on November 2.

Bosses said the move had been made to "ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket is registered and therefore eligible to purchase" tickets. Irate fans went on to call the last-minute change a 'joke', with many taking to X, formerly Twitter, to vent their anger.

Tickets and coach travel packages go on sale this evening (Thursday November 16), while general admission tickets are available to buy from Sunday, November 19. The tickets were originally meant to go on sale on Thursday November 2 and Sunday November 5.

To buy tickets to the iconic Worthy Farm event, hopefuls needed to preregister. Registration closed at 5pm on Monday November 13.

Demand is so high for the popular festival, which takes place between Wednesday June 26 and Sunday June 30, that it is famously difficult to secure tickets for. It is not yet known who will headline the five-night festival, but organiser Emily Eavis teased that a huge US artist could be on the cards.
