Glastonbury Festival has sold out for next year’s event in less than an hour. All tickets for the 2024 festival were snapped up before 10:00 GMT. The festival organizers said demand had greatly exceeded supply, leaving many hopeful festival-goers disappointed.
Organizer Emily Eavis has hinted that a “really big American artist” will be among the headliners, with Madonna rumored to be one of the performers being lined up. Eavis, who faced criticism for 2023’s all-male headliners, also hinted that two female headliners could perform at the Pyramid Stage next year, with another booked for the legend’s slot. The festival line-up will be unveiled early next year.
Ticket demand for the Glastonbury Festival always outstrips supply, and this year was no exception. Last year, two-and-a-half million people tried to secure tickets for the event at Worthy Farm in Somerset, with just 210,000 available. This year’s ticket sale was postponed by two weeks “out of fairness” to customers who did not realize their registration had expired.
While some festival enthusiasts were elated at securing their tickets, others were left disappointed, with some claiming they have been unsuccessful for many years. Katie Cowdrey, a homeless recovery worker from Gosport in Hampshire, said she had attended with her late friend Katrina in the 1990s but has been unable to buy a ticket since 2011 despite trying annually.
While all tickets for next year’s festival have now sold out, those who missed out will have a chance to purchase any returned or canceled tickets during the resale in spring 2024
