The Aporia · Glastonbury fans caught out by change as first festival tickets sell out in just 30 minutes

Fans trying to purchase tickets for Glastonbury encountered unexpected changes to the registration and purchasing process, which disrupted their plans to use multiple devices or a "syndicate" system with friends. Coach tickets, which include festival entry and travel, sold out within minutes of going on sale at 6pm. General admission tickets priced at £408 will be available starting October 4, marking a significant price increase from the previous year. The ticket registration period closed on September 25 to prevent touts from acquiring additional tickets after initial sales conclude.

Story summary

The first batch of tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2027 sold out within just 31 minutes after going on sale at 6pm BST on Thursday. Fans were caught off guard by changes to the ticket-buying system, including restrictions that prevented users from logging in on multiple devices and using registration codes to generate multiple queue numbers, which previously helped increase their chances of getting tickets. Coach tickets, which include festival entry and travel, sold out at 6:31pm according to See Tickets. General admission tickets will be available starting Sunday, October 4th, priced at £408 each—a significant rise from the previous year by £29.50. Registration for these tickets closed on September 25th and won’t reopen until after this initial round of ticket sales. The festival is returning after a hiatus in 2026, with fans speculating about potential headliners, including rumors that Oasis might be among them despite having concerts scheduled around the same time as Glastonbury.
