Sold out in 42 minutes
Glastonbury Festival 2027 tickets sold out in 42 minutes after thousands of fans joined the online queue at 09:00 BST for the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset. The festival will return from 23 to 27 June after a fallow year in 2026, and organisers said the general admission tickets were sold out in just 42 minutes.
Glastonbury posted on Instagram shortly after 09:40 to announce that tickets had sold out, and the post told those in the queue: "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." See Tickets confirmed the sell-out in its own message, writing: "Tickets for @Glastonbury Festival 2027 are now SOLD OUT."
Prices, deposits, and resale
Organisers set the weekend ticket price at £408, including a £5 booking fee per ticket, and the BBC said the price was an increase of £29.50 from the last event in 2025. Buyers paid a £100 deposit, with the remaining balance due between April 1 and 7 next year, and any tickets not paid for in full by the early April 2027 deadline would be put back into an official resale pool.
Glastonbury also said there would be a resale of any cancelled or returned tickets in Spring 2027, and the festival told queue users: "There will be a resale of any cancelled or returned tickets in Spring 2027." Bristol Live said tickets cost £408 including a £5 booking fee per person and £11.25 postage per order, and it noted that buyers could buy up to six tickets per transaction while registering individually in advance.
Queue system sparks backlash
Fans described frustration with a tweaked ticketing process that required registration details before accessing the virtual queue, and NME said the registration was tied to a single queue position rather than allowing multiple attempts across different devices. The coach sale change meant users could no longer log in on multiple devices, with a registration code producing just one queue number, and the change appeared to be an attempt to tackle bots.
Emily Eavis said, "We're very excited about it - it's all coming together really well," while she ruled out both Madonna and Oasis. Some fans reported being stranded on "two bars" of the ticket portal, after the general admission sale opened at 9am and at 9.42am the festival confirmed that all tickets had sold out.
