Glastonbury Festival 2027 Tickets Sell Out in Under an Hour
The highly sought-after tickets for the 2027 festival were snapped up in just 42 minutes, with demand outstripping supply.
Tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2027 have sold out, with organizers reporting that all available tickets were purchased within 42 minutes. Thousands of hopeful attendees joined an online queue that opened at 09:00 BST on Thursday, aiming to secure their spot at the iconic Worthy Farm festival in Somerset. The event is scheduled to return from June 23 to June 27, following a planned fallow year.
This year's ticket price reached a new high of £408, including a £5 booking fee, marking an increase of £29.50 from the 2025 festival. Despite the price hike, demand remained exceptionally high. Organizers confirmed the sell-out shortly after 09:40 BST via Instagram, acknowledging those who missed out due to overwhelming demand.
"Thank you to everyone who bought one and we're sorry to those of you who missed out on a morning where demand greatly exceeded supply," the festival posted. A resale of any cancelled or returned tickets is planned for Spring 2027.
The initial release of tickets included coach packages, which also sold out in less than 30 minutes on Thursday. Attendees like Zoe Scott, who has been to Glastonbury twice, expressed that the price is "totally worth it" considering the vast number of acts and stages, along with the festival's unique atmosphere.
For some, Glastonbury holds significant personal milestones. Nick and Helen Nugget, who met at the festival in 2007, plan to return next year to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. They were due to attend in 2019 but were unable to due to their daughter's adoption.
Others faced disappointment in their attempts to secure tickets. Mat Chapman shared his long-standing tradition of trying to get tickets with his daughter Amy, who had always dreamed of having a flag visible on television. Despite 20 years of trying, he was unsuccessful this year, describing his online queue experience as moving from "two bar hell to three bar purgatory."
The cost of Glastonbury tickets has seen a steady increase over the years, climbing from £185 in 2010 to £408 for the 2027 event. Price increases have been more pronounced in recent years, with tickets rising from £318 in 2019 to the current £408, a level not seen in the preceding decade where price hikes were more gradual.
