Tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2027 have completely sold out within just 42 minutes, according to the event’s organisers. A vast number of eager fans lined up online from 09:00 BST, all hoping to secure their spot at the iconic festival held at Worthy Farm in Somerset. The event is scheduled to take place from 23 to 27 June, making a comeback after a fallow year.
Last month, organisers revealed that ticket prices for this year had reached a record high of £408, which includes a booking fee of £5 per ticket. This marks an increase of £29.50 compared to the previous festival held in 2025. While headliners have yet to be announced, organiser Emily Eavis expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming lineup, stating that the team was “very excited” and the preparations were “coming together really well.” Shortly after 09:40 BST, Glastonbury confirmed via Instagram that tickets were sold out and extended thanks to those who managed to buy them, as well as apologies to those who missed out due to overwhelming demand. They also mentioned plans for a resale of any cancelled or returned tickets in spring 2027.
The initial batch of tickets, which included coach packages, disappeared in under 30 minutes. Despite the ticket price hike, festival-goer Zoe Scott, who has attended twice previously, shared her belief that “the price is totally worth it.” She praised the event for its vibrant atmosphere, noting that attendees enjoy “thousands of acts” across “over 100 stages” and a unique sense of freedom and happiness. Among those returning are Nick and Helen Nugget, a couple from Amersham who originally met at Glastonbury in 2007. Celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, they will once again attend with their friends, having last been to the festival in 2011. Although they secured tickets in 2019, the arrival of their daughter meant they could not attend that year.
However, some were less fortunate, like Mat Chapman and his daughter Amy. Mat recounted to the BBC how he used to watch Glastonbury on TV with Amy when she was young and had promised to take her to the festival once she turned five, as Amy “always wanted to have her own flag that you could see on the telly.” Despite attempting to secure tickets for 20 years, including this year on Amy’s 26th birthday, Mat found himself stuck in the frustrating online queue, moving only slightly ahead. Still optimistic, he said, “There’s always next year. We’ll fly the flag there one day.”
Ticket prices for Glastonbury have now surpassed the £400 barrier for the first time in the festival’s history. Over the past decade, prices have steadily risen—from £185 in 2010 to £408 in 2027. Most of the more significant increases occurred following the pandemic, with tickets jumping from £318 in 2019 to this latest peak. Prior to this period, price changes were generally more gradual during the 2010s
