Glastonbury Festival organizers reported that tickets for the 2027 event sold out in 42 minutes. The sale began at 09:00 BST, with thousands of people attempting to purchase tickets through an online queue system. The festival will take place at Worthy Farm in Somerset from 23 to 27 June following a year off from hosting events.
Organizers had previously announced record-high ticket pricing at £408 per ticket, which includes a £5 booking fee. This represents an increase of £29.50 compared to ticket prices for the last festival in 2025. Despite the higher cost, demand significantly outpaced the available supply during the initial sales window.
Glastonbury announced the sellout through social media shortly after 09:40 BST, thanking those who purchased tickets while acknowledging those unable to secure them due to the high demand. The organization stated that additional tickets from cancellations or returns will be made available for resale in Spring 2027.
A separate round of tickets for coach packages had gone on sale the previous day and similarly sold out in under 30 minutes. Headliners and the full lineup for the festival have not yet been announced, though organizer Emily Eavis previously indicated the team was optimistic about the event’s development.
